Instead of tucking my tubing into my waist band like I usually do, I had left it snaking down the leg of my pants. And when I sat a certain way, it was quite noticeable. It looked almost like a bow hidden beneath my jeans. It made me laugh.
And then I wondered what someone who doesn’t know anything about tubing and insulin pumps and diabetes would think if they saw my leg. What exactly would they think I stashed in the leg of my pants? And I didn’t feel embarrassed or self-conscious in the least. Oh no, instead I laughed even harder at the absurdity of it all. Because after all, life with diabetes isn’t all bad.
I sport that look more often than I like to admit. What came to mind when I read your wondering about what others might think make me think: Halloween costume inspiration! or "Oh, that's my tapeworm"
ReplyDeleteTotally makes me laugh. Which is hard in a week where bigD is kicking my a$$ and making things like quick work trips and prepping for a relaxing yoga retreat tough.
Tubing Rorschatz test! To me, it totally looks like a skinny mouse/rat - Danger Mouse, maybe?
ReplyDeleteWow. Those are some crazy varicose veins you are sporting there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose are some fancy veins you have there! LOL
