Brief Update

We are settling into our new routine. Actually, there are only a couple small changes. The most obvious is an insulin injection around 7:30 each morning. Less obvious is that we no longer need to pay as tight attention to the spacing of carb intake. Basically this means that Richard can have fruit or desert wallowing a meal instead of waiting a couple hours. We still have to count those carbs though, bummer!

Richard had an appointment with the RT who services his C-pap this morning. We recently changed companies and are so pleased to actually get some service. The old company just called every month from out of state and asked if we needed supplies. Their local office is just 2 blocks form us, but trying to get an appointment to see someone, well forget it.
Long story short, the computer in Richard's C-pap is not working right so they gave him a loaner while his is being repaired. The mask he was using was also the wrong size for his face (it leaked air) so he was issued a different one. A good night sleep is priceless and I am hoping this new mask will allow for a rel refreshing sleep. He is just plain worn out all the time.

The length of my morning walk has increased by about 50%. A little more distance each week and I will soon be back up to between 1 & 1 1/2 miles a day. I must say, it is invigorating first thing in the morning. I knew I missed walking, but didn't realize how much. It is great.
