Dexcom Arm and Red Sox Shirt - Day 179

Dexcom Arm and Red Sox Shirt - Day 179 by sixuntilme.
I'm back to wearing the Dexcom sensor for another week, thanks to the generosity of Dexcom and my wonderful Dexcom representative (who brought me a few sensors and now I think I love her).

Wearing the Dexcom makes me feel safer. Especially when I'm too busy to be bothered with diabetes. It's the safety net that only stings a little.

(And I'm wearing the very oldest t-shirt I own - my Trot Nixon Red Sox shirt with the big ol' No. 7 on the back. I loved Trot. I loved his ball playing and his ridiculous name. I wear this shirt to the gym all the time. These Yankees fans and Mets fans in western CT don't know what to make of me.)

When Trot played right field for Boston we used to yell "Gallop, Trot, gallop!" But he didn't get half the abuse we used to lay on Kevin Millar.

Now you have to get a Mets shirt with Nixon's name on it.

LOL - Even though I've been so rattled with many Sox players, I'm a faithful fan through and through.

Should I even mention that I still have my Nomah Sox shirt? Or that my mother and I burnt her Damon one in a bonfire after he went to the Yankees?

Yeah, we're a bit out there. :)

During the 2003 playoffs there was a young man rooting for the Sox sitting in the row behind us. As the game progress he seemed to revert into a younger persona and finally in the late innings he started to mummured "..come on Nomie, Nomie get a hit".

I turn around and said "Nomie? Who the heck is Nomie?".

Young man straighten up and yelled "Nomar! Get a hit you **** (fill in your curse word of choice").

- Ah, being a die hard fan.- The things you do!
