Tonight I put the battery in my pump and listened to Fur Elise. After five notes I knew this song would drive me nuts. On a piano Fur Elise is a lovely melody. It sounds terrible on my pump. Hearing it once a week would be too much. This evening I spent a few hours creating new melodies with the Ezmanager software. Now my pump plays The Imperial March from Star Wars and the theme song from Doctor Who. These will make me grin because they are sooo me. I'm waving my dork flag high!
While I was changing things around I felt like I personalized XPU. She's my pump. She's going to be with me all day every day. I want to feel good about this change in my life. I'm looking forward to waking up with a blood sugar under 100 for the first time since I was diagnosed. I'm looking forward to getting rid of Levemir shots at bedtime. After playing with XPU all evening I'm looking forward to starting my pump this week. Until then I'll keep priming myself on the inside.
now i wish my medtronic pump could play those songs!
