Dear (((Bettie)))! I’m sorry to hear that your friend died, and that your brother is laid off from work! I hope the lay-off is temporary and that he goes back to work very soon, or gets another job! That has to be worrisome for all family members. Your brother has had more than his share of stress in the past year, with his daughter. Sorry to hear that you are having those insulin reactions, and that you are going to have to have the insulin pump. I agree with Vera that it does sound like you should be on sick leave, but knowing how your workplace operates, it doesn’t sound like they encourage staff to take good care of themselves. Sounds like it’s ALL about operational requirements! If your cats are waking you up during the night, maybe you could consider having them sleep somewhere other than your room. My cats sleep at the end of my bed but if they started waking me up, I would banish the “beggars” to another room. I need my sleep! I hope that your health stabilizes with the new mode of insulin delivery! I hope that you get positive results from seeing the eye and lung doctor. Carole
