Flight Canceled, Solid Unit Of Measurement Time, Diabetes Supplies & Gratitude

5 minutes earlier my brother-in-law dropped me off at the drome final night, I decided to banking concern lucifer my flying condition again... only inwards case, fifty-fifty though I'd checked twice inwards the final hour. Once, correct earlier we'd left the house, as well as the second, fifteen minutes into our 35 infinitesimal ride to Myrtle Beach International Airport.
My flight's divergence fourth dimension had already been delayed twice as well as the weather condition was craptastic upwards as well as downward the eastward coast.
And equally luck would have got it, my render flying domicile had been cancelled somewhere inwards those xx minutes betwixt checks - as well as only equally nosotros pulled upwards at "drop-off," I received an official e-mail from the airline informing me that my flying was a no-go. 
While my BIL waited patiently inwards the Cell Phone lot, I stood inwards a long work to re-book my flying - And past times the fourth dimension it was my plough to become to the Check-In, I was informed that the adjacent available flying dorsum to the niggling drome I'd flown out of as well as where my motorcar was currently parked, was Midweek night. 
Seriously, I tiddler you lot not.
On ane mitt I was actually happy to live spending to a greater extent than fourth dimension amongst my amazing sis as well as brother-in-law because I missed them something fierce.
On the other hand, a ane G 1000 things were going through my heed at warp speed.
I'd have got to cancel my Tuesday afternoon Endo appointment - you lot know, the ane I should have got scheduled for final month, but for around reason, didn't. 
I had work. But I could create most of it remotely. 
I was downward to my final yoke of construct clean socks as well as underwear as well as needed to create laundry, ASAP. Not a work since my sis had both a washer, dryer as well as around super cute clothes if I needed to borrow shirts, dresses, etc. 

Then of class at that spot was the whole diabetes matter - And spell I waited inwards line, I apace calculated the extra supplies I had inwards my messenger bag: 
4 infusion sets as well as reservoirs
1 bottle of insulin that was 3/4's full
40 exam strips
1 spare ticker battery
2 extra days of oral meds.

I'd live OK, but I was notwithstanding worried.
For around reason, my infusion sites had solely been lasting 2 days during my trip instead of 3 as well as I had no persuasion why - And I'd changed my site twice on Dominicus because of a deadspot. So yeah, the fearfulness of running out was inwards the back, midpoint as well as front end of my mind. 
Normally, I ALWAYS go amongst 3 or 4 days of backup oral meds on brusk trips 
( 4 days as well as under), instead of the extra 2 solar daytime provide I had amongst me. 

When nosotros got dorsum to my temporary home, I went to the guestroom, unzipped my suitcase as well as located the extra container of exam strips I ALWAYS proceed inwards my toiletry handbag for emergencies... Except this canister was 2 months past times the expiration date. 
CRAP - I persuasion I'd switched the sometime exam strips amongst a novel container of strips earlier I left... didn't I? 
Did I exit the novel canister on my nightstand?  Oh God, I promise I did. 
Wait, permit me think. OK, I threw out an empty container, but but did I mistakenly throw out the novel exam strips, too? For the life of me I couldn't remember.

I couldn't worry (FREAK OUT) most the exam strips because I had no command over that province of affairs until I got home. Nope. instead, I hung out amongst my family, watched "Orange Is The New Black," on Netflix & had a drinking glass of wine.  
And when I woke upwards this morning, I focused on what I did have.. as well as what I currently had command over.
1. I was/am grateful to live spending to a greater extent than fourth dimension amongst my identify unit of measurement as well as turns out, they are actually happy to have got me remain an extra few days
2.  I was/am thankful that I have got the might as well as the flexibility to operate remotely this week
3. I'm thankful that I was fifty-fifty able to mass a flying out onWednesday nighttime because the weather condition is reeking havoc amongst flights everywhere 
4. I'm grateful that I was able reschedule my Endo appointment this morning time for the 2d calendar week inwards Feb - And grateful that Angie at the Endo's component was incredibly agreement & pose me on the meridian of the patient cancellation list
5. I reminded myself that if for around inexplicable reasons I needed to alter my infusion site today as well as Wednesday, I'd notwithstanding have got 2 sets for dorsum up. 
6. As long equally I made it domicile Midweek night, I'd live cool re: my orals - And if non - There's a CVS as well as a Walgreen's nearby.
7. And if for around argue I needed pump/test strip supplies - I am grateful for all the options I have. I tin telephone telephone Medtronic, checkout HelpAround app on my smart telephone & issue a telephone telephone to my dear DOC.

 Yep, I'm going to have got the lessons learned, alive inwards the 2d as well as select gratitude. 
Because inwards the grand system of things, this is far from a disaster as well as I am a lucky duck, indeed
