Seriously?

I had forgotten how clumsy I am until I became an Omnipod user. You know how when you have a painful scratch or bruise somewhere on your body, it seems like all of a sudden you're constantly bumping and jamming it on everything around you and in every single activity you participate in, from getting in the car to making dinner. Having a pod attached to your body, even in the most out of the way places, is kind of like that. It is frustrating. Not so much that I would think of quitting it, but still...I went camping this weekend at Roy's Hideaway in Collins, Ga., running around outdoors, playing with animals, setting up equipment on stage for my gfs band to play onsite and other fun camping stuff and didn't have any problems, but then lost a pod getting into the car the next day. Seriously? I have been trying different solutions on for size, such as patchy tape jobs and Skin Tac, but these pods are stubborn.

When I get to thinking too much (which happens often) I feel like the pods are self destructive, and just don't want a succesful working relationship with me and my d, like they just don't like me. Silly, I know. I've felt that way about my own body quite a bit over the years, that my body inside just doesn't like me. That's irrational, though. I've talked with some people, and many of them have had the same problems, and gave me some suggestions for sports sleeves for my arms and some special tape. One of these things should do the trick. My pods and I are still getting to know each other, though, and it might just take a while longer to adjust, I suppose. Hopefully, we will get along better soon.
