Another day at the hospital. . .

Well, it's official. I am a diabetic. I guess even the most resilient of flowers get something to add to their beauty. Don't pity me. I don't deserve it. I just wanted to let everyone know just in case. Well, I know for one thing, I will be the most informed diabetic.

I have done some research on my condition und it seems that I have a way to control it. But I am insulin dependent. I have to have it to keep my kidneys from shutting down. I was lucky the last time. The doctor said that I can still have chocolate, but I'm limited to three pieces und that is it for the day. Chocolate is the only candy that I can have but it has to be dark, not milk. That's fine.

Anyway, back to the discovery. I called up meine Mutter und she said that she knew nothing about it. She seemed rather nervous for a person that doesn't know much. Whatever! *flicks wrist to the Talk to the Hand Position* I told her that if she didn't come clean, she would have to work. Well that changed her tune. She wanted her perks, but she didn't want to tell me the truth.

She told me that I developed it when I got the Measles. Well, that would do it. A high fever would cause such a thing to happen und the doctor did confirm that fact. She also told me that she liked the fact that I had dropped weight und she wanted to keep me lithe. Well, she sure succeeded there. I told her that what she did caused me to nearly die. She didn't seem to care. All she cared about was her needs. Well, that's going to change soon. She's going to have to start telling me the truth from here on, especially when it comes to the health of Leon und me.

I have done a lot of things lately und I have done a lot of thinking. What I need most of all is a friend that I can count on. Perhaps a relationship, but that will have to come later. I need a true friend. Someone that will be there for me when I have another episode. I feel so scared now that it's possible that I could pass out. If that happens, I can't be left alone. I know I have friends, but no one can be with me all the time. Well, I have a lot to look forward to.
