Hey Guys,

I am now on a pump and i feel as tho it saved my life. My very special diabetic specialist just retired, was just an awful shock, and dissappointment, but he left me in good hands. I love my new Doctor too, he hasnt quite got used to me being a hugggy person, lol. I would like to invite others to speak with, Tell me how its done, ok,,,,,Thanks Ashley

At 10:28pm on July 22nd, 2008, Joe said…: hi Doris, well yea it's hot in Va., 95 degrees and humid as all get out. I work in a building that's techincally "not finished" so we have big holes in the outside walls and we have another building that's not even air conditioned yet so it's kinda like working outside. It's been miserable for the last 2 weeks and they said a big storm was coming to cool things off but it never came!
