I’ve never been particularly graceful (my two years doing jazz dancing at 7 and 8 didn’t really make me elegant unfortunately, perhaps I should have tried ballet).
I’ve spoken before about accidents related to getting my pump cord caught on things, as well as my adoption of a Tubeguard to take the strain of me rushing about.
Tonight, though, I outdid even myself! I was getting my son ready for his bath, and quickly rushed out of his room to get the necessary bits and pieces together. As I brushed past the doorway, the pump cord got caught in the door jamb, and before I could even click what had happened, my Tubeguard was dangling from my pump, as was the cord.
“Phew”, I thought. “The Tubeguard has saved me from pulling out the insulin pump site.”
However, on closer inspection, it turns out that the pump cord had actually been severed by the door jamb!
I think this takes the cake. I am particularly clumsy, right?!! I swear more of these sorts of incidents happen to me than other T1s.
Have a top weekend y’all.
