Pump in Pocket - my theme song


Today's HAWMC prompt was to pick or write or sing and record (I wish) a theme song for our blog and/or health condition. I was actually going to bail on this one because I was so uninspired by my own imagination earlier and so impressed by some of the other bloggers from the HAWMC and their posts and songs.  But then this evening I remembered my New Year's Resolution to not be so f-ing special in 2012.

So here is my theme song.


Pump in Pocket  (shamelessly reworked from Chirssie Hynde and The Pretenders)

I got pump in pocket
Got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Insulin, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you bolus

Got a potion, for stomach motion
Been breathing, not, hardly eating
My lab results, not so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you bolus

(CHORUS)
Gonna use my carbs
Gonna use my meds
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my workouts
Gonna poke my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my determination
(ohohoh)
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special (special), so special (special)
I gotta have medical attention, give it to me

Got a new pump, it's so discrete
Got CGM, suh-wee-eet
My insurance gonna pay for it too
Gonna make you, make you, make you bolus

(CHORUS)
Gonna use my carbs
Gonna use my meds
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my workouts
Gonna poke my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my determination
(ohohoh)
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like Me
I'm special (special), so special
I gotta have medical attention, give it to me

'Cause I gonna make you see
There's a bunch of us out here
But not all like me
We're special (special), so special (special)
I gotta have medical attention

Give it to me

  1. Well, this is a good version of special, for sure (long as you don't make me sing it aloud). And give me a kick in the tail too - my A1C is about the highest (controlled) it's ever been!
