Blow Your Mind

I have a very simple working brain...if you don't already know. 

and because of this, many times, things will just BLOW MY MIND.  For example a few early mornings ago Cara walked into my bedroom, I got up and tested her blood sugar before "they" headed down stairs for breakfast and as the drop of blood hit the strip and the numbered appeared K.A.B.O.O.M ..BLOWN MIND!!

How in the hell does one drop of blood

gets transformed into a number that we trust and rely on to keep our T1 kids healthy, safe and alive.

never this wonderful number of course!

 
All because of one little strip and some great big technology.




Now, how in the hell does this all work? (rhetorical question!! please do not leave a long, confusing comment telling me exactly the ins & outs as to how this all works)

I'm just happy to have my simple mind blown with this wonderful technology  :) and quite thankful!!

I know! Sometimes I stop and think, "How in the world..." followed quickly by "We are SO lucky!"

Life can turn on a dime with one little drop.

Though, I have to admit...sometimes ignorance is bliss!
