It was only 9:00 a.m. but already very hot. Adam was extremely excited and wanted, like everyone else, to get into the water as quickly as possible. I made him wait while I put sunscreen on everyone and as I was doing myself, the big boys ran into the water. Adam was good and waited with me telling me (repeatedly) that he wanted to go, too. I finished as quickly as I could, took his hand and ran into the water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The sea was calm and we stood in the water talking and jumping when the occasional wave came by. After fifteen or twenty minutes I suddenly realized I\u2019d forgotten to do something.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShit,\u201d I said, and handed Adam to my friend. \u201cI forgot to take off my pump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I ran out of the water saying \u2018shit\u2019 and \u2018fuck\u2019 over and over again to myself, sure that my pump was shot. I took it off and dried it. I looked at the screen. It worked, but I thought I saw some water in the corners. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou never forget your pump,\u201d my friend said as I returned. \u201cIs it okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure. It seems to be working but there may be some water inside it,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill they give you a new one if it\u2019s ruined?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u00a0 It\u2019s supposed to be watertight &#8211; not waterproof \u2013 so I hope it will be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was nervous about the pump for the next few days, thinking it may stop working or even worse \u2013 give me wrong amounts of insulin. But, it seems the Medtronic Revel is more watertight than I expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":33868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1501],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
