Today's WEGO prompt: If your health condition (or the health condition of a loved one!) was an animal, what would it be? Is it a real animal or make believe?
Yesterday I went to the pet store with my youngest to buy her a replacement beta fish and a new fish for my middle child. While we were there, I picked out a fish of my own. I thought it would be nice to have on my desk when my eyes needed change of focus while working on schoolwork.
Of course I got a
blue fish.
And I named him
Hope (with the encouragement of a mom of a CWD).
So my diabetes is a male beta fish named Hope.
Yes, it's a boy fish with a girl's name. Get over it. Who said anything about diabetes makes sense?
For those that are wondering, my doctor said my numb toes are more than likely not a result of diabetes or poor circulation. Looks like it's probably from how I grip my toes when I walk.
Lovely! I think it's perfect - I wish I had a nice blue hopeful distraction like that on my desk!
