She’s had an idea for creating a hanging mobile using diabetes supplies for a couple of years now, but we just haven’t been able to get it done. We discussed ideas over the last week and decided this would be a great time to make it happen. So, I gathered up a bunch of empty Lantus and Byetta Pens, some…
Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Victoza and the Mail.
Picked this up from the pharmacy today. The really cool WDD Postcard I received today. And the get well soon card from my grandmother’s church. Made the prayer list after my fall/cracked ribs.
