Actually I did the seatbelt thing the other day. Was trying to get out the car and couldn’t figure out why I was stuck. DOH!

Anneliese – gah! I bet your friend felt really bad about that too…
Stephen – I’ve done that in the car too, it ends up tied around your seatbelt.

Ive had “rips” now and then… from getting “clotheslined” on door handles but also when you bolus in the car and don’t stick the pump back in your pocket the way you had pulled it out – then trying to get out of the car in a hurry doh

Aaron – Hahahahaha

I keep my pump on my ankle so the tubing runs from the cannula under my top and pants to my ankle so it hardly ever gets caught and no probs when it comes to using the toilet either

I probably shouldn’t say this but since you mentioned a bra Toni…

I like to have a long 69cm line so that I can always keep my pump in the same pocket and have the cannula anywhere I want to on my body. Because sometimes I have a lot of line left, I tuck it into my trousers/shorts and it has happened once or twice that it has been shall we say, ‘caught’ when I’ve gone and taken it out of my pocket!

It’s hard being a guy.

I sound like someone who has not been caught up on anything – but then I put the pump in my bra and then the line is always under my tops and not loose therefore can’t get caught on anything really, also you don’t need long tubing.

Nic – I have noticed that Lachlan (who I now carry on my hip everywhere) is constantly getting his toes caught in my line, especially since I where shorts and put my pump in the pocket. So I have started wearing extra long singlets/tight tops to reach down over the pocket where my pump sits to avoid this. (They’re on special at Jay Jay’s at the moment!)It’s really the only thing we can do I guess…

PS Lachlan is also rather intrigued by my pump and as he gets older, I’m thinking I’m going to need to use the pump lock function. Thankgod I have one on my pump! At 7 months, his fingers can already press the button quickly (and albeit unknowingly) especially if I’m talking to someone and pondering about things and he grasps it fast while he’s sitting on my knee…
