Yes, thanks Northerner, it is great geing able to see again.

When I had a brain op about 15 years ago they said then that I would probably go blind from the condition I was suffering from at the time (not diabetes) and that the intended op would not help rectify the damage to my eyes and optic nerves. i.e I was going to be blind! However, I confounded them all when, after the op, I reported that my eyesight had been fully recovered! And it had!

Before the op my eyesight was very poor. I had had to stop driving, working, etc.

After the op (and having recovered from the op) I kept wandering around the hospital looking at, and marvelling at, everything. It was so wonderful to be able to see again.

So this is a similar but much less dramatic scene ! Before the cataract op I was struggling to see. I couldn't read most things anymore. Night vision was zero and I had learned to 'feel' my way around the house. After the cataract ops everything has changed for the better. The feeling of relief, and wonder, and joy is very real every moment of every day. Even being able to now easily see the computer (tablet) screen is great. Being able to read again is great. Being able to see a bit more at night again is great. And all this will continue to improve as I recover more from the second op and eventually get correct glasses.

I am so grateful to the NHS and to the opticians. Thanks !!!
 
Morning all on this glorious day. Not weather wise, it’s pitch black and the wind is howling again. No, it’s February, the bringer of spring. That makes me happy.🙂

“Stayin’ alive,” 6.5! Thought that was quite apt, as it’s by the BGs! :rofl: I think that could be ‘our song’, or at the very least 6.5 could be the new House Special, I might have more chance of getting one. “Ah ha ha ha, stayin’ alive!” Another earworm folks. Sorry not sorry.😉

Mr Eggy is feeling excited too, for the first time in almost two years he’s actually going to Camera Club instead of just going upstairs to Zoom. LFT to be done, no tea and coffee in the break and they will sit two metres apart. Oh and no raffle to raise funds. Phew! I’ve still got the bottle of Harvey’s Bristol Cream he won in November 2019! At coming up 62, he’s one of the babies of the group so the need to be careful is very real for a lot of them. The chairman is in his 80s!

That’s it folk. Have a fab day and those who are struggling, big hugs.🙂
 
Good morning - 7.5
 
Morning all. After a chippy tea last night and the expected spike which was dealt with, every 2 hrs from 1am i've been woken with a low that JBs just wouldn't bring up. Currently at 3.7 desperately trying to bring it back up so i can have breakfast.
 
4.7 for me today. 🙂
Stay safe if it's windy where you are.

Slap, kick, for being so quick!

Morning all. 🙂 4.6 here.

I love Feb too @eggyg (cos my birthday’s in Feb). The snowdrops and my random selection of bulbs are busy pushing themselves upwards and there’s even been some bird activity (there were loads when we moved in, despite the neighbours’ cats. Where have they gone?). Happy pinching n punching, folks.
 
Morning all, 7.6 here, I obviously didn’t need both Lotus biscuits before bed last night. Or to sandwich a lump of cheese between them.(A delicious combination, but then I was brought up to enjoy a slice of cheese with Christmas cake, and my father always had cheese with his apple pie, a Yorkshire custom which was a step too far for me.)
 
5.7 @ 0607 having been awake since around 0530.. Also had a compression low at 0243. I'd like to think the 2 slices of pizza prior to retiring to bed last night sufficed to stave off any chance of Libre lying to me. It always finds a way.

...just let me sleep for once

I feel your frustration @harbottle
 
Morning

7.5 today xx
 
10.5 this morning. Been up most of the night with a bad headache. Starting with a headache before work doesn’t bode well for me lasting the day :( Completely fed up of them now and have submitted another econsult with the GP
