Today I went to the ADA Expo here in town. I had a strong feeling I'd run into somebody I knew. I was making one final circle of the booths and suddenly,there on a stationary bike, was Heather. Heather is a fellow Minneapolitan who I'd never met in person. Wish fulfilled!
Heather introduced me to the lady on the other cycle, her friend Mari. I didn't realize that this was the well-known db endurance athlete and coach, Mari Ruddy.
My favorite thing was that when you got my attention, I felt like I was greeting an old friend. It took me a little while to realize it was our first in-person meeting! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
Yay for you! I'm so happy that you're out and about meeting other d-people. I finally got to meet Crystal last week and it was so much fun and nifty,too! You look great!
I have had Type 1 diabetes since 1974. In August of 2010, I endured a life-threatening health crisis resulting in acute kidney failure. I started dialysis in October, 2010 and it's was the biggest challenge of my life.
Then, on January 12, 2012, I was told by my nephrologist that my labs had improved to the point where I no longer needed the treatments. It has been the biggest joy of my life.
The support and love sent my way by the diabetes online community has been incredible.

It is always fun to meet up with fellow PWDs Kathy!

I was bummed that I couldn't track you down at the expo - but we made up for it by hanging at the meetup on Sunday. :-)
