Today, I inserted the new sensor this morning before going to work. It didn't take too long for the atennae to show up this time. That's a good thing since I was feeling rushed today.

Hoy, inserté el nuevo sensor esta mañana antes de ir a trabajar. No tomó demasiado mucho tiempo para el atennae para revelarse esta vez. Esto es una cosa buena ya que me sentía apresurado hoy.

The sensor that I had removed was very weird and very unreliable. When I had removed the old sensor, I saw a big bruise from where the sensor had been inserted last week. There was also a big spot from the blood that was behind the transmitter and its sticky. This isn't good since the bruise is still there and it isn't feeling good. I'm hoping for the bruise to go away in the next few days.

El sensor que había quitado era muy extraño y muy no fiable. Cuando había quitado el viejo sensor, vi una contusión grande de donde el sensor se había insertado la semana pasada. También había un punto grande de la sangre que era detrás del transmisor y su pegajoso. Esto no está bien ya que la contusión todavía está allí y no se siente bien. Espero la contusión marcharme en los próximos días.

So far, the new sensor is doing okay. Nothing too much to say about it so far. Will let you know when I can.

Hasta ahora, el nuevo sensor hace bien. Nada demasiado para decir sobre ello hasta ahora. Le avisará cuando pueda.

It is a new adventure every time you put in a new sensor. Take care of that bruise - arnica is good for that. Tea tree oil is also useful. Blood in the machine means a closer inspection in its use as a matter of caution. Hope this one does better for you.
