I am a wife and a mom. I have 2 cat children that I adore. I suffered for 10 years with chronic pancreatitis. I suffered horribly, no one should have to live I like I did.

It is Saturday morning and it is a good day. Lisa got up this morning and checked her blood sugar (94). She had been on 10 units of Lantis and cut it down to 8 and today she says she will cut it down to 7. Dr. Sutherland told her that maybe when she sees her primary care physician next week, maybe she will not need the Lantis at all. That would be nice, but if she does that is ok, too. Yesterday one of the sweetest people we have ever met, Beverly Baker, a friend from church, came over to our house and cleaned. She is a professional cleaning lady and has a business. I have never seen anyone clean that thoroughly. The house looks great. I told Bev that we have to live in one room of the house, because we will be afraid to mess it up. She was such a blessing from God. Lisa said that Bev was a very brave woman, because with a man and his 22 year old daughter living in a house living no telling what condition it would be in. We did a pretty good job, though. We (read: I) never let the dishes pile up or the laundry pile up (for a man, that is saying something). I know the blog is getting boring, but that is a testament to God’s mercy. She is not in the hospital or having a terrible time with her blood sugars. I work in surgery and believe me a long boring surgery is much better than in a long scary one. Take care.
