wind walking

new NEW favourite thing to do....blow past people on the street while walking...then realize and think 'holy Hattie you are walkin' so fast and just blowin' past all these people'.

It feels good great to walk again, and walk with breath!

I also went to the gym today...darn it feels good to jog and sweat and be normal. Although I am still NOT a fan of the treadmill, I just keep sayin' to myself what my friend Nat says to herself while she runs "10 months ago I could not walk, 10 months ago I could not walk (repeated)"

Also I'm not sure if I have mentioned this, but ever since I came home from DC (which by the way I'm headed back there May 19th! It's just too ugly, rainy and jacket/sweater wearing weather for me to stick around in Toronto haha) my sugars were dipping to like 2.1 (brain screaming for help when they get that low, below one, I heard is like coma city, a definite not cool) but on the plane I could not raise my sugars, no matter how much candy and sugar I ate. TOTAL panic. Finally I got them above 4mmol. Felt awful the rest of the day, like the WORST hang over ever. All week my sugars were dipping SO low, every day! I've had to drop my long acting insulin to half of what I was using two weeks ago!


TRANSLATION : I am getting healthier and therefore my CFRD (cystic fibrosis related diabetes) is getting better! Less insulin means GREAT.

Anyways Happy Friday! (can you tell the exuberant ooze of happiness that is radiating from every pore in my body in this post? Could be the endorphins ramping through my body from the gym, but also maybe it's just because life is beautiful?)

I can't tell you how interesting and inspiring this blog is Hattie! I had no idea about CFRD. Along with everything else you must have to track every system of your body! Thanks for giving me this peek into your world.
