Pump Start

Andrew started his pump on January 29, 2009. The first weekend was perfect! His body seemed happy with the new regimen. Andrew was uncomfortable with having the pump attached all the time. At first, he wanted me to come hold it while he was in the bathroom. That wasn't going to work! He wanted to keep the pump in his pocket, but would take it out and hold it when he ran. There was lots to remember about all the site changes---cycle the cartridge twice, remember to prime, it takes .7u to fill cannula,.... It's all automatic now, but I took notes at the start up appointment!
