I swear, Dan.  I love you like a brother.  But you do tend to see the glass as half empty, not half full.  I think it's the Minnesotan in you.   
 
Everyone I ever knew from Minnesota was the same way.  Everyone up there has the attitude that "This is going to go wrong because I don't deserve to have it go right."  I think it's those 11 month winters.    I mean, when it snows for 11 months and you got one month of poor sledding.... Welll...  It would tend to make a person a bit morose...    But try to look on the bright side, just this once.  (OK.  Just kidding about the 11 months of snow.  It's only about 9 months of snow and 3 months of poor sledding... right?  Heh, heh.) 
 
Let's assume, being that BC/BS is the largest insurer in the state of Minnesota and has the largest network, that you will be able to find a doctor who can replace the pump and take over your refills.  Trust me, the catheter will not, repeat not, be an issue.  See?  Glass went from half full to full, just like that.  And trust me again when I say, you're a good guy, and you DO deserve it. 
 
You remain in my prayers, guy. 
 
Dan
