Insulin. Balances all the sugars that enter your body. I know this in great detail thanks to my brother's diabetes.

Beat you to it, fuck-stick.

Your brother Type I or II, and forgive me if I have already asked.

So, I got Lily to laugh for the first time ever this morning. Pretty much the highlight of my day.

Well done. Did you hold up the photo of the guy that looks like you for a comparison?

 

[phillyfan26]

Beat you to it, fuck-stick.

Your brother Type I or II, and forgive me if I have already asked.

Type I.

 

[phillyfan26]

So you can't live without it? It sounds like the type of thing that we could manufacture a suitable replacement.

Diabetics don't have functioning pancreases. Hence, insulin shots and insulin pumps.

I love it when babies laugh. Cutest things ever!

The above applies to Type I, not type II.

So, why don't they remove the pancreas in people with pancreatic cancer (and yes, I'm sure someone has thought of this before. That's why I ask.)?

 

[U2democrat]

Ah, that makes complete sense.

Does he miss aspects of it, or is he just relieved, the way many newly retired people are?

He's VERY relieved. This particular church was very stressful to him, and he retired mostly because of his health. Thank goodness because of it he has been able to drastically cut back on his blood pressure medicine and get full nights of sleep

 

[Dalton]

BTW - my douche bag meter goes to 11.

 

[VintagePunk]

I know. I LOVE to laugh, so it was pretty amazing to think that the very FIRST time she did one of my favorite things it was because of me.

I remember the first time Sarah ever kissed me. I was driving to the pediatrician and some old lady made an illegal left-hand turn and drove into the side of my car. I flew out the passenger door into the back seat, very shaken, to check her. She was find and I picked her up out of her seat, and she reached forward and gave me a baby kiss. Awwww. Those events stay with you forever.

 

[phillyfan26]

Ah, yes, I'm not as studied in Type II, but thanks for reminding me.

 

[VintagePunk]

I still like going for the community thing. I'd say if I did it purely based on my views, I'd be somewhere between agnostic and athiest, and wouldn't be going to church.

Interesting.

The pancreas does more than deal with insulin release.

I imagine the ideal is that they get the cancer out before it spreads.

It sounds like the biggest danger for pancreatic cancer is the spreading.

Love it.

I was holding my 9 month old niece last week. I hadn't shaved in a few days and she started stroking my beard and then all of a sudden leaned in a kissed me. I can't remember the last time I laughed that much.

Wow, that's too bad that the situation had impacted his health, but great that he's doing better now.

It's such a shame when some churches get caught up in church politics-type BS. Not sure if that was the case here, but I've heard of it happening a lot.

 

[U2democrat]

All this talk is getting me excited about meeting my nephew next week

He'll be a month on Friday, and my niece will be 4 on friday.

 

[Dalton]

NSW, are you Type II? My grandfather was.

 

[No spoken words]

NSW, are you Type II? My grandfather was.

I am, yes. Fun stuff. I earned it, though, along with some other shit.

 

[U2democrat]

My dad is type II

You must be counting the minutes! I hope you're at least getting lots of pictures in the meantime?

 

[phillyfan26]

My dad's buddy has Type II, so he was familiar with the shots and whatnot.

My brother's had Type I for about 11 months now. He refuses to move to an insulin pump, though.

Oh it was definitely church politics. At one point he was phsyically assualted by one of the elders, but my dad the soul he is refused to press charges even though he had a good case and a room full of witnesses.

Not as many as I'd like!

I'm not on meds yet, which will be the next step....eventually, though, my pancreas will run out of insulin and I'll need to inject. Type II, though, typically comes with all sorts of other complications. I don't often talk about it, it's sort of daunting, but, whatever.

 

[Dalton]

You don't often talk about it or you don't want to talk about it? Cause I'd like to know if you're willing.

 

[VintagePunk]

Nice.

Your dad must be an exceptionally good, forgiving person.

 

[U2democrat]

Nice.

Your dad must be an exceptionally good, forgiving person.

I may be biased because he's my dad, and this is cheesy and corny and whatnot, but he is my hero. I hope I can be half as amazing as he is.

Thankfully we're already exactly alike and we drive my mom nuts

 

[Dalton]

So, the wife and I are thinking about making the switch to reusable diapers ...

Damn you environment.

That means washing them, doesn't it?


Oooooooooh boy.
