Hi everybody,
My husband and I and all my stuff are going on vacation. Wish me luck! I have to take my insulin, my syringes, 2 meters, a doseage calculator and food. I am going to figure out how to travel with insulin and this should be an interesting situation she said sarcastically! I am going on a cruise to St. Petersburg, Russia. My husband has wanted to go there for several years and I finally agreed if he could find a cruise. So of course he did! This is really my first trip dealing with the different time zones and taking insulin. I am still having severe hypoglycemia reactions when I least expect them and so I am traveling with extra food. But because I will be on a ship it should be easier to manage the food situation than my trying to find a restaurant in a country where I don't speak one word of the native language.
But I intend to continue getting my exercise every day and I will watch my blood sugar carefully. I am told by the people at work that I look horrible when I have a hypo episode and that doesn't count on how I feel! I had a long discussion with the CDE the other day and I am going to try what she has suggested. I'll let you know when I get back how I did.
I leave Monday morning at about 4 AM for the airport and I won't be back until late on the evening of July 3rd. So you probably won't hear from me again until July 4th. I have never conquered the internet cafe thing and at $9 a minute I ain't going to be using the internet on ship.
I'll be around for the rest of the weekend. After that your assignment is to take care of each other until I get back.
Hugs and wave to all,
Mary Frances
