seems as though summer is here. the temperatures have been in the high 20's (80+). i am not a "summer girl".
i like fall. i seem to have forgotten what summer was like last year.
last summer was my first with a pump. i remember now how that went. i had to get used to having something "stuck" to me 24/7. and i had to have help getting that "something" to stick. especially because we have an inground pool and my grandkids love to swim. EVERYDAY. after speaking to a really nice lady at Animas, this is what she recommended last year.
and since i am currently using the Contac-D infusion set, it's 2 things stuck to me.
with the weather so hot and humid, i am not having much luck getting this to stick. i have it covered with a Tegaderm patch, but i am getting a raised, itchy area around the outside of the patch. i got on the phone to Animas and ordered a box of SkinTac Wipes. they should arrive tomorrow. and i can't wait. i am seriously considering removing the Tegaderm and going with duct tape!
hopefully this will be just what i need to keep my inset stuck, and delivering properly. i may need to look for some new real estate, but i'm a little nervous. i have only being using my stomach but i think i have a bit of scar tissue built up.
where do you guys wear your sites? i was thinking about moving them around to the back of my hips, but i'm afraid that they may get pulled (or pushed) out when i pull up my pants/jeans/shorts.
perhaps i just need to go shopping for a few new sundresses (with pockets), and then i wouldn't have to worry about ripping them out!
