Break out your party hats...

...Because today is my type 1 diabetes 10 year anniversary!
To celebrate this very crappy day, I've made myself a long island iced tea (or three...) and am marinating in dead rat aroma in my room.
The number 3 is seriously the worst number ever (3/3/03 diagnosis), and so I added 3 times the fancy fluid to my beverage. Because of symbolism and stuff.

Side note:
I have used 4 (FOUR!) ellipses on the forum in the past hour. Why.

Sorry to hear it - I'm sure it isn't easy to manage. Not to sound too responsible, but go easy on the LITs - don't want to "celebrate" your anniversary with a trip to the hospital.

Don't worry, I'm really good at handling drinking- I've got very tight control on my levels :gj:

:fest:

Too bad I don't drink or I'd pour something for myself in "celebration" :P..

Please always take care of yourself, because I wuv you!

Celebratory glass of water :fest::carouse:

Isn't it elipsi? I've got a celebratory lemonade, non-alcoholic to toss back with you.

Got any good stuff, aside from handling this for the LAST TEN YEARS? That's not nuthin, you know?

Don't let negative thoughts have their way with you, it does a number on everything. Be Suzy Sunshine like me. I'm always a little ray of sunshine, ain't I?

23 years strong with the same diagnosis; I'd throw some back south of the north border for ya' but I'm working and my endo and I aren't seeing eye to eye on my A1C's and my tests at the moment...hang in there! An insulin pump was the best thing for mine to ever happen and they're doing incredible things with eyelet cell transfer and some other things with gene therapy. It's a diagnosis, not a death sentence...keep your chin up! :gj:

Nope ;)

And I try really hard to stay positive most days, but I figure I deserve to be mopey and mildly pathetic every once and a while :D

I'm on a pump and love it as well. It's pink and I named it Hilary Duff :rofl: Poor little thing has been beaten and battered and dropped into lakes and it's still going strong :gj:
My chin's up(ish). I have to keep reminding myself all the cool things I do in spite of it! But the 10 year just feels so much more forever than the other ones. I don't know why, but it's weirding me out big-time.

That's hilarious about your naming it! Mine was marketed as being "charcoal" gray but I refer to it as "gunsmoke" gray, lmao! My current one has taken a beating as well and I'm on number three from the original one they put me on after upgrades and whatnot. I'm sorry you're in a bit of funk, that sucks but I hear ya' on that. Two years ago in May I wrecked as a result of an insulin/hypoglycemic reaction and broke my femur, several ribs, collapsed a lung and bruised the other, etc. so I can relate to feeling the "weight" of living with and trying to manage this disease, especially long-term. It gets old in a hurry, lol! Don't let it beat you, even if it gets you down for a few.

Aw Liv, we love you! Stay positive.

I'm gonna celebrate with tortilla chips and salsa cheese dip. Hope that's celebratory enough, its pretty darn delish.

I don't really like halloween so ill hate it with you next year.
