I haven't posted in quite a while. I am floundering, but am figuring out how to adapt and accept. I have gotten some help with filling out forms and learning the best way to present information.
Blood sugars have been in pretty good control.
My neighbors, who are elderly, are both in a nursing home unexpectedly and I am taking care of their dog. Hopefully, they will get well enough soon, to be back at home (all 3 of them). My dogs have accepted this new elderly dog into their pack very well. I am hoping to take some weight off of the dog as well. She is much more active at our house.
Today I am filling out a form for the American Diabetes Association for discrimination. The union I belong to denied me payment through their sick leave bank because the wording my doctor used was severe depression and T1 diabetes. The mental part of that diagnosis is preventing me being granted the $. The only way I can receive it with the mental diagnosis is to be put into an inpatient facility.
In my research, mental health can be a complication from diabetes. I need to be able to show diagnosis as ONLY diabetes being the problem to not being able to do my job.
More later...

Glad you're doing okay. I thought it was nice that you're watching your neighbors dog. I hope and pray things get better for you and you're able to get the depression removed so you get the $ you deserve.
