Diabetic anyone?

I forgot mention in my earlier posting that I have been in pancreatitus so many times my pancreas no longer makes insulin so I am now a type I diabetic on an insulin pump. The high triglycerides was the catalyst to the pancreatitus.
I had my first physical therapy appointment today and was ashamed to be sitting there on the table for the therapist to tell me I had a muscular ability scale of 8 out of 64! He said a scale of 1 was someone totally bed bound. My muscles have atrophied and we made a plan for PT 3x a week with a re- evaluation in 10 weeks, but to look for PT to last longer. Once I get some strength back, I will also do pool therapy. Looks like I got my work cut out for me!
