Rolling Away

As I was getting ready for bed Friday night, I realized I wouldn’t make it through the night with the insulin left in my pump.  I’m not a fan of, nor do I advocate for late night pump changes, but sometimes it just has to happen.  I decided to just do mine right in my bed.  I’ve done this before, and rest everything on top of the plastic container top.  However after I rewinded my pump, that new reservoir was no where to be found.  I checked everywhere: the pillow, under the sheet, under the comforter, the bedside table, the bureau, I even went into the bathroom.  I didn’t want to use another 200 units of insulin.  I had the brilliant idea to check the floor, and there it was under my bed, right at the edge of the rug.  I couldn’t believe I had let it get away from me, and I vowed to never change it like that again.  If I had to guess though, I’m guessing I will.
