Ice Capades In Vegas

Sometimes we forget that before our parents became parents they lived completely different lives - they were completely different people. They did amazing things, throwing caution to the wind so they could live their dreams.

Sometimes the dreams defer or change because of life and circumstances.

The old life gets put on a shelf - along with the pictures and the memories.

Occasionally a glimpse of that old life appears - a snapshot or a memory shared when pouring over old photos.

I was and am always in awe of my mothers old life. She was an a professional Ice Skater in The Ice Capades.

She made her own money at a time when most women did not - and she made more money than most of the men.

She performed all over the US and Canada, and had the opportunity to live her dream.

Her picture was on billboards, stars like Gene Kelly and Judy Garland waited in line to meet her and her cohorts, and George Petty voted her one of the 16 most Outstanding Ice Capets in both talent and beauty.

She gave it all up and married my dad. She became a mom and raised six children.

She gave birth to her first daughter at 22 and her last daughter in her mid forties.

She worked hard and helped my father start a business.

She had her share of heartaches, including three of her six children having type 1 diabetes.

And she lost her middle daughter to the disease.

The woman who dealt with diabetes 24X7 used to be a completely different person before my siblings and I came to be.

Through it all she remained the strongest, toughest, most beautiful woman I know.

She is the one who taught me to pull myself up by my bootstraps whenever life decided to throw me a curve ball - and to do it with a smile on my face.

She is the one who taught me by example that "the show must indeed go on!"

I was incredibly proud of my mom when I accompanied her to The Ice Capades 70th Reunion in Vegas last week.

Since she was one of the oldest skaters there, she was treated like royalty.

Younger skaters came up to have their pictures taken with her. Some recorded her voice because they considered her to be part of their history. She was interviewed for several podcasts and for the Ice Capades historical archives.

There were moments when I started to cry from shear pride. At one point I went up to thank a skater for interviewing my mother and for being so attentive and nice to her and ended up crying.

"Your mother is wonderful and she's living skating history, I'm incredibly honored to have been able to interview her." And then he gave me a hug and told me I was a good daughter-which made me cry even more.

It was a hectic, emotional, and crazy three days - and I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

LOVE YOU MOM!

Guest Post: The Gift Of G(g)race

Today's post is brought to you by Penny, from a Sweet Grace Blog. Penny and I started communicating when she began commenting on the blog. Then one day, I received a beautiful and heart-felt email from her requesting my address. A few days later, I received a lovely card and picture of her daughter Grace (and yes, both parent guest bloggers have a daughters named Grace - It's kismet!) The card was both a "Thank-you for writing" and a "Diaversary" card celebrating Grace's first "Diaversary." It's one of the best gifts I've ever received.

Penny's voice as a blogger is strong one. If you haven't read her blog, "A Sweet Grace," you need to!

Thanks for guest blogging for me today Penny - I appreciate it so much!

The Gift of G(g)race

Penny & her gift of Grace~

Change always comes bearing gifts. ~Price Pritchett

I remember watching her be born. I asked that the drapes be lowered during this final c-section so that I could see my third child come into the world. She was pink, big, messy, howled like a banshee and she was all ours. We named her Grace. I didn’t know then, but I think I do now, how very fitting that name would come to be.

Grace was diagnosed Type 1 in January 2009 at the age of 6. The story resembles other stories I am sure you have heard - the thirst, the urinating, the hunger. Yes, the same, same, same. Five days in the hospital and I left knowing more than I ever wanted to about diabetes. Can I tell you that I was scared out of my life? I was. Much the same as when a new parent leaves the hospital thinking ‘They let me leave here with her! I don’t know what to do!!!’ - I thought the same thing as I left with Grace that January day.

What I didn’t know, and what most parents don’t know when they leave the hospital with that tiny bundle, is how much a parent learns and grows, and how much parenting itself changes their very soul. It is the same. I left the hospital after the diagnosis and the changes began. I became a parent for the second time to Grace, in a much more profound way.

Caring for a child with diabetes becomes what I do with most of my day now and part of who I am. It defines us D Moms and Dads in ways we cannot even fathom. I belong to a tightknit bunch of D-Ms and D-Ds and in them I have found my soul. With them, there is acceptance and understanding that surpasses all measure. I get the dark jokes we tell each other. I know the fear, all too well. I know the 3:00 am thoughts. I cheer on the perfect numbers. I puzzle over the unexplained. I commiserate with Moms who feels their children’s highs, and worry about the lows. I question. I answer. I cry and I rejoice. I also transcend to a higher level. I learn grace. I learn about accepting both the darkness and the light.

I learned that the D will do what it wants sometimes, no matter how hard I try to control it. That it sometimes does what it wants, as I am an imperfect pancreas for a perfect child. I learned that my faith, that tells me it will all be well in the end, has gotten me through more days that I can count. I learned that it is her body and her diabetes, and I learned to respect both as hers. I learned that my battles lie in engaging with insurance companies about the care of my child. I learned I am ferocious and I will fight to the end for Grace to have a healthy and well-adjusted life. I learned that her emotional and mental health is just as important as her physical health. I learned how to enjoy every damn minute of this ride, cause I don’t know when it will end.

Grace has learned too. This is her new normal. It is our new normal. She is beyond resilient because of diabetes. She is smart and funny and wise and charming and deadpan serious at times and she most definitely gets the joke, and she did all of that even before she had diabetes. Now she is more. More than herself. More caring. More empathetic, more understanding, more Grace. She has learned that life is not fair, the hard way. I think of adults who do not know that lesson yet. I think it’s a gift that she knows it now, so she can get on with living and not resenting. She has learned that people care for her in deep and wondrous ways. She has learned again and again, how very much she is loved. She has learned that diabetes is not all of who she is. It is one small piece of her larger self. Grace has learned that ‘it is what it is’. Perhaps through diabetes she has learned acceptance and to play the cards she is dealt, rather than wishing for a different hand.

This journey with diabetes has placed a sense of grace at my side, with Grace at my side. It has changed me to my very core. I have found that there are gifts in this diabetes, for her and for me.

Guest Post:Turning Over A new Leaf. . . .

Karen from Bitter-Sweet Diabetes is today's guest "Host." Karen is the brains and the beauty behind the fantastically successful Diabetes Blog Week that happened bak in May. Did I mention the fact that SHE AlSO ROCKS?!

I first became familiar with Karen when we started commenting on each others blogs way back when. Then we found out we both were attending 2008's Diabetes 2.0 in NYC and decided to meet up. Karen emailed me and told me to look for a woman holding knitting needles & partially knitted green sock! Oh yeah- she's also incredibly bad ass with textiles & knitting needles!

Anyway, when we found each other ( and a bevy of other D-bloggers) at the buffet table, all types of diabetes revelry hit the fan!

Karen makes me laugh and smile, and she continually encourages & inspires every single person in Dblogville!!

If you've never checked out her blog, you need to - like now!

Turning over a new leaf . . .

They say hate is a very strong word, and one that should not be tossed around lightly. I am inclined to agree. So you can believe me when I say . . . . I hate exercise.

I have a feeling I'm just lazy by nature. A perfect day for me would involve lounging on the couch watching movies, knitting, and eating delicious food that has practically no nutritional value at all. Don't worry, I don't actually have days like that, but it's nice to dream.

As much as I hate exercise, I absolutely understand the value of it. For everyone but especially for people with diabetes. So I try. I have a treadmill, I have hand weights, I have a bunch of workout DVDs, and I have a Wii and some of the exercise disks to go along with it. When I'm putting these tools to use instead of letting them collect dust, I can feel how great exercise is for me. I really do have more energy and sleep better at night. I absolutely see a huge difference in my blood sugars. And I feel so much better in general. That's quite an incentive to keep going, right? Well, you would think so, but inevitably my workouts begin to get side-tracked. I'm busy one day. I'm not feeling well the next. I didn't sleep very well the night before. And next thing I know, I'm not exercising at all.

Surprisingly (and thankfully) I keep trying to turn over a new leaf. Every few months I decide have another go at a regular workout routine. I don't want to jinx myself, but right now it's going really well. My husband and I are about half way through the Couch to 5K program ñ and I'm flabbergasted at how much I'm enjoying it. We've even committed to getting up earlier a few days a week to get the runs in before he goes off to work. No one is more surprised than I am that we are both willing to get up early for exercise. And I'm shocked to find that I'm also doing regular strength training as well. I don't ever remember feeling this great about exercising or this committed to keeping it up.

That's not to say there haven't been snags. One night last week I woke up around midnight with a blood sugar of 38 ñ which was particularly odd because I had been running high at night. It was one of those lows that made me want to eat everything I could get my hands on. I treated with a juice box and then also caved to the call of a packet of fruit snacks. I bolused conservatively, hoping to neither go too high or too low. Unfortunately, I woke up to a fasting blood sugar of 190. I took a partial correction and hoped our run would do the rest of the work to bring me back into range. And then, I went on the crappiest run ever!!! My limbs felt like they were made of cement. My breathing had a heavy wheeze to it. I walked through quite a bit of the run segments. I was discouraged about my (lack of) performance, even though I knew the extreme low and following high were probably to blame.

After a workout like that, it would be likely for me to find any excuses I could to put off my next workout. But I didn't. I went out for my next run a couple of days later, and it felt great. Sure, it was still hard, but I didn't feel like my legs were made of lead. And I made it through all of the run segments. I can see how important it is not to let one setback make me give up. I learned I can do more than I believe I can.

And I think that goes for all of us. Not only in exercise, but in every area of diabetes management that may be giving us trouble. We need to keep turning over that new leaf. If you're not testing your blood sugar as often as you should, aim to add in a few more tests each day. Or maybe you need to pull out that scale and those measuring cups and start doing better at tallying your carbs. Perhaps make an effort to hold back from over treating those lows. Tackle whatever aspect of diabetes management you hate and struggle with, and try to make it a part of your routine. Sure, you may have some false starts and soon go back to your old bad habits. But don't let it keep you from trying again. Like me, you may just find it suddenly clicks!!

Guest Post: Walk Beside Me & Be My Friend.

Today's guest post is brought to you by the letter "P," as in Pam from Wicked Sweet. I've known Pam for a very long time but hadn't seen or spoken to her since "The MTV" actually played music videos~

Anyway, we reconnected last December when Kerri mentioned me in one of her posts. I know, SMALL FREAKING WORLD! Thanks Kerri!

Pam is articulate; bright, funny, and a mother of 3 - including, a child with diabetes. Her daughter Grace was diagnosed about 17 months ago and is doing great!

Pam recently began blogging and she's a fantastic writer. The blog is called Wicked Sweet and it's "wickedly" funny, smart, and from the heart - Just like her! CHECK IT OUT!

Thanks for the wonderful post my friend!

*****************************************

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

A friend, to me, is someone who's chosen to walk this path with me, side by side. To prop me up when I need help, to listen when I need to talk, and to tell me when I've gone off the deep end. And the key is to know the difference. That's who I try to be for others, and that's who I look for in a friend.

I don't have a ton of friends. I'm very picky with who I let into my life. I have a small group of women whom I rely on tremendously.

I'm closer to my two sisters than to anyone else in the world, other than my husband. They are my best friends. They love me in good times and bad. One even came up from New Jersey to support me when Grace was first diagnosed and in the hospital. Do they ever tell me I might be heading in the wrong direction? No, but I'll let them slide because they're family.

Since Grace's diagnosis, I have one friend who has totally stepped up to the diabetes plate. She's learned how to give Grace injections, check her blood sugar, and now knows how to count carbs and bolus through the pump. She's eager to learn more so she can be of more help to me. She even took all three of my children on a sleepover to her mother's farm so my husband and I could get a precious 24 hours alone. And she did great! My kids got to feed the pig and chickens, collect fresh eggs and climb on the construction trucks all while Grace was kept completely in range. The best part about that weekend was that my friend and husband forced me to do it. I didn't want to. How was I expected to leave Grace in the care of someone else? My naturally pragmatic (read "pessimistic") mind thought of all that could go wrong, and why it was a bad idea. But they sat me down, and made me see that 24 hours away from the kids was desperately needed, and I'd only be a phone call away in case of any problems. I felt totally secure and relaxed, knowing that Grace was in good hands. I had a great time!

I have other friends who mean the world to me, but no others who walk this diabetes path with me. Now I've met lots of new friends in the DOC. True, they are cyber-friends, but every one of them fits my friend requirements to a tee. They prop, they listen, and they remind me every day that I'm not alone.

Grace's diagnosis has made me see the value of good friends. I've always felt vulnerable when needing to ask for help, but now I'd like to think that's changed. I've learned that I can't do it all myself, and that, in fact, I don't need to. No one can take care of my daughter like I can, but I realize that when I need to recharge and refocus, I have a few friends who can help me along the way.

test, testing....

So if this actually posts on 6/19/10, I will have figured out one of Life's great mysteries. No I'm not talking about where all the missing spare socks end up or why the Kardashian's are considered 'entertainers.

No, if this posts at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, it means I've figured out the mystery of setting up posts in absentia & my guest bloggers posts should be up and running sans issues later in the week!

Vegas All Tricked Out Diabetes Style~

So I leave for Vegas on Sunday morning. I've never been there (except for a layover at the Vegas Airport) so I'm expecting it to be all types of Vegas-ee.
But the weird part of my brain that's "all diabetes all the time," envisions things a bit different - I'm envisioning Vegas all tricked out diabetes style!

If Vegas was tricked out diabetes style, the casinos would be filled with tables of Blood Sugar Roulette, and me personally, and I'd be playing Red 110.

The slot machines would be emblazoned with Blood Sugar Bulls eyes and the words DIABEETUS in all types of mind boggling font.

Winning Blackjack would envolve used teststrips counts and I'd TOTALLY win.

Halle Berry would be part the entertainment. Did you know she's a magician/commedian? Seriously, girlfriend can ween herself off insulin and go from being a type 1 to a type 2 faster than you can say "GET THE EFF OUTTA HERE!" I'm already LOLROTFLMAO just thinking about it!

Halle would be immediately followed by Cirque De Soleil's best selling show: LANGERHANS, a musical/dance mash-up to songs including, but not limited to; Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic," by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tchaikovsky's "Dance Of The Sugar Plumb Fairies." Ahhhh, good times, good times.

In this Diabetes Styled Vegas, the BOLUS WORTHY buffets would all have carb counts, and the doorknobs would steer clear of my insulin pump.

But Seriously, if your around the Vegas Strip, email me and maybe we can meet at one of Treasure Island's Pirate Ships. Dancing Diabetes Pirates to my right, singing Diabetes Pirates to my left! AAARRRRGGGGG!!

Internal Diabetes BullSh*t Filter Switch Is Flipped

I couldn't sleep after last nights twitter cage match with Dr. "Shit For Brains, Diabetes Bible Cure" @Doncolbert . I was enraged. Apparently, he didn't agree with my post/assessment of his snake oil Bible Cure book.

I was on the road all day today and am just getting back on the Twitter/Blog track.

Instead of writing about what happened last night, I thought I'd just let you read it.

And big shout out to Ellen (@CureT1Diabetes ) for DMing me with his twitter info!

Shoutouts to all who tweeted with the Bad Dr., you guys ROCK!

BIG PROPS to Becky , Kerri , &Sarah for writing fantastical posts about the Bad Dr. Colbert!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Since your making $$ of my disease, please answer my question. Does your"Diabetes bible cure" cure Type 1 diabetes???

@diabetesalic @DonColbert You say in your book "regardless of which type of diabetes you have, God can heal either 1 w/out effort or difficulty."

@diabetesalic @DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of miracles. I believe you can be healed of anything if you just ask God.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert So please, I beg you, give me the name of a person with type 1 #diabetes that God has cured.

@DonColbert @diabetesalic Type I can be controlled through diet, exercise, and supplements. I have seen few cases of it being cured.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert You stated The "diabetesbiblecure" could cure eithr type regardless. Here, this refresh your memory. http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Not real clear here. U R telling @CureT1diabetes that u cant cure t1, but here you say u can: http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z

@DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, results speak for themselves. If you do have Type I diabetes, try out some of the recommendations in the book.

@diabetesalic ATTN: DOC'ers, feel 2share your thoughts w/ @DonColbert author of the DibetesBibleCure , Wrote about it on Mon. http://tinyurl.com/28vjd9z

I @diabetesalic disagree @DonColbert. This girls parents prayed http://texasfred.net/archives/1039 I believe you are spreading false hope to million

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Please, Don, give me the names & contact #'s for these cured type 1's. And the name of their endocrinologists

@diabetesalic @DonColbert I've been a type1 for over 30 years.Im in great health,I eat right& have conversations w/God daily-we're buds. Still a diabetic

DonColbert @diabetesalic God did not kill your sister Kelly. God loves you and your sister as much as he does anyone.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I never, ever said that God killed my sister, are you on crack? I said she prayed! Of course God loves us

@diabetesalic @DonColbert What does the FDA have to say re: these suppliments? Send me the info, along w/the names & contact #'s of the cured t1 diabetics

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Im offended that you said, I said that God killed my sister. You continually say if you pray heard enough- GOd can cure anything

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Can you send me the "results" and or studies that you speak of? Seriously, my readers would LOVE to know about them.

@DonColbert @diabetesalic Kelly, false hope would be telling people with type I or type II that taking a shot every day is the best answer. It's not.

diabetesalic BS! RT @DonColbert @diabetesalic False hope would be telling people w/ type1/II that taking a shot every day is the best answer.It's not.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Your full of crap Dr. I do not produce insulin- the area of my pancreas that makes it is destroyed. We need insulin 2live.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert How would you suggest I get the insulin my body no longer makes ?? Drink it?

@diabetesalic BS! RT @DonColbert @diabetesalic False hope would be telling people w/ type1/II that taking a shot every day is the best answer.It's not.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Your a Dr. What went wrong here? http://bit.ly/bYGWSu Unfortunately that poor child's insulin was withheld

How much $$ do you make from the supplements/herbs and book sales Dr? How much is spent on research? How much goes to charity?

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Glad you believe that,I believe god is w/me everyday &the miracle he's performed on me is giving me an internal bullshit radar

@diabetesalic @DonColbert God has given me the tools 2live a healthy&happy life -even if I do have a broken pancreas. He/She has given me many giftst

DonColbert @diabetesalic Would you like me to tell you that's God's best for you? Because in my heart, I believe God can perform a miracle for you.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert I would like you to tell me that you are making a shitload of money preaching a cure to millions. How many actually get cured?

@diabetesalic DonColbert I want you 2tell me what you cleared last year on your Diabetesbiblecure book sales &then I want you 2tell me how many u cured

@diabetesalic @DonColbert While your at it, I want you to tell me that she didn't pray hard enough to cure my sisters and I.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Dr, how many folks got sick with your methods? What are the numbers in that particular area of the study?

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Tell me Don, what aren't the millions of people with type 1 & type 2 diabetes saying wrong in their prayers for a cure?

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I've introduced thousands of people to your book this past week. Please, tell them what they are doing wrong

@diabetesalic @sstrumello @DonColbert Re: t1's staying on insulin- That's not what you say in your book Don.

@diabetesalic Please anwer my question @DonColbert. This girls' parents prayed, so why did she die? http://bit.ly/bYGWSu

@diabetesalic @talesofrachel @sixuntilme HE's still not answered our questions.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Since your now backtracking on your books claims, will you be reimbursing all the people who bought your book?

@diabetesalic @DonColbert So Don, how much$$ do these miracle pills cost?? Are they FDA approved? Will my insurance cover them? Yeah, I didnt think so

DonColbert @diabetesalic God gave us medicine to avoid these kind of tragedies.

@diabetesalic @DonColbert No, scientists gave us medicine Don. God gave them the brains.

@diabetesalic @talesofrachel is 1 of the most healthy people /t2's I know @DonColbert. She eats whole foods,exercises,vitamins,etc. Still,she has diabetes

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Yes indeed,Dr Banting& Dr Best gave millions & millions of people with diabetes life! And yet,you still say insulin is over RXd

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, do you supplements help to grow new islets of langerhans?? Cause if they did, that would REALLY be something!

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don, I was checking out your supplement pricing and packages. Many cost more than insulin

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Don,miracles happen every day.Lotus grows out of mud, Boston won the 2004Series,Banting&Best discovered insulin& saved millions

@diabetesalic @DonColbert Some can smell bullshit a mile away Don. I feel sorry for the many that can't& buy into your miracle cure.

@diabetesalic AND.....SCENE.

@diabetesalic Scientists gave us the medicine,God gave them brains RT @DonColbert: @diabetesalic God gave us meds 2avoid these kind of tragedies.

@diabetesalic Seriously, Im done now. Friends, goodnight, godbless, take your bloodsugar. Then; eat, pray, bolus. Wash, rinse, repeat.

It was so hard to read all the tweets - I really need a good tweet option - any suggestions?
