She likes her jeans and is afraid of dislodging it or having the clothes rub the site.Pam Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523792280274092952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762567302898984061.post-27995619833274562172012-12-03T20:02:30.052-05:002012-12-03T20:02:30.052-05:00I am so glad I read this.

We have been pumping for about 9 months, and I keep thinking the scar tissue is going to become an issue--not I'm hopeful it won't for a good, long while.<br /><br />What a well-rounded approach. You thought of everything.<br /><br />I'm like you: "new angles and new topographies make me nervous." It has taken me months to really angle the Inset 30 correctly, instead of aiming more toward skimming the surface. We have had maybe five (?) tummy sites, zero arm or leg. I have told my guy "It's important that we move the sites around so your bum doesn't get worn out," and he agrees half-heartedly, and then feels sort of tender and uncomfortable the whole time it's in the belly.<br /><br />You are very wise to include a reward for yourself in the plan. I love it! I am going to copy your strategy.<br /><br />I guess it's just like anything else--we just gotta do what we gotta do. Preferably with generous rewards for all involved.katyhttp://bigfootchildhavediabetes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762567302898984061.post-13651538912811584562012-12-03T18:06:32.169-05:002012-12-03T18:06:32.169-05:00I'm much (much!) older than your daughter but ...I'm much (much!) older than your daughter but - trying an inset on my leg was wonderful, once I got over the fear... <br />I like it there (a lot!) but it does require a little more thought when dressing, etc...<br />One idea - maybe varying "points" for different sites with the newer ones worth more points.Colleenhttp://dmeanderings.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
