Wife of Type 1 Diabetic

Modified on 2/13/18: I was married to man who was a Type 1 diabetic for over 30 years. He also had sleep apnea, spinal stenosis, neuropathy, gastroparesis, and retinopathy. He had triple bypass surgery and a kidney transplant (I was the living donor). Because of his high and low blood sugars, mood swings were a constant concern. Although I tried very hard to stay, we lost each other along the way. Leaving was a very tough decision for me, but staying was even more difficult.

Musings

Sitting here in my little home away from home, listening to the frogs, the peepers, and the birds singing their evening song. So peaceful and healing. Did I ever write that my husband actually gets angry at the birds when they wake him up in the morning? One of the reasons he will no longer open the windows, I guess. I can't imagine. To me, going to bed and waking up hearing the birds, etc. is a luxury.

I have missed my cats, my house, my basement woman cave, my flowers which are now blooming in our yard, and our beautiful deck which was another getaway for me. I have not missed hubby and all the drama. Does that make me an absolutely horrible person?

Peace

Sitting quietly in the camper, with all the windows open. Enjoying the breeze, and listening to the birds and "peepers" singing outside. If I were still home, all the windows would have to be closed, the AC would be on, and the TV would be blaring. There is so much to be said for peace . . .
