[QUOTE="Billytrack, post: 814820, member: 167763"] Hi Jenny, you're probably anxious about getting on the pump, and getting to grips with it, but it's ok, everybody here has been through that and it's nowhere near as bad as you think. It's up to you once you get the pump to decide if it's for you. It's not for everyone. As for the consultant's lack of understanding about having a machine connected to you all the time, that's a real surprise as everyone feels that way. They should have done better with that. However it's really not that bad and you get used to it in no time. You can always take it off for a wee while if you have to. I see no reason why you would need to be off fr two weeks after getting the pump, or why you couldn't drive. I was back to work straight away and I drove home from the pump clinic the day I got it. Sounds like you've had some misinformation. I wouldn't worry about the pump too much. You'll be fine, same as I was. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
