Is That a Pump in Your Pocket…Or a VW Beetle?
Posted on June 29th, 2009 5 commentsShortly after writing about my colourful diabetes life, I saw a VW Beetle parked at the side of the road.
While at first glance, it may appear that these two events have nothing in common, upon closer inspection they are, in fact, rather intimately linked. How so? Well, the Beetle I saw wasn’t just any VW Beetle. No sirree. This was a VW Beetle sporting a fine coat of paint freakishly reminiscent of my colourful diabetes life. There it sat, at the side of the road, dressed exactly like my faithful diabetes companion – my bright green insulin pump.
It made me smile (kinda like when I see a Holstein cow with the same markings as the Jack cat). Then, it made me laugh out loud. So, of course, I had a little photoshoot (are you really that surprised?)…
Me, my pump and its matching car.
Freakishly similar, no?
