I had toyed with the idea of leaving my job and trying to make money from home, maybe from my Etsy shop or private violin lessons. But I can never quit, ever. I had no idea how much the dexcom supplies are until I went online today to order more sensors. This will be about $400 a month. We need to talk some more with the diabetes clinic and I really hope that insurance will cover some of it. Oh, but the irony. We can hardly pay our monthly bills and taxes right now.
I wouldn't want to miss her dexcom, it does help me to relax during the night when I can see that she is holding steady within range, or that I can treat a low bg right away. We have been getting up between 2 and 3 am every night for over two months now. I'm so grateful that most of time my husband and I can take turns. It is rough when he is out of town and I fear our upcoming vacation in Europe when it is just Red and me, for that and many other reasons.
We try to fly to Europe once a year to see my family, and flight prices have gone up steadily, so that it has always been just my daughter and me. Usually I very much look forward to seeing them all, especially my grandparents, but now this gives me a stomach ache and I try not to think about it until it gets closer to the flight date.
