Group 7-day waking average?

11:43 BS 9.7. Still late on parade but, BS is starting to head in the right direction. Yet another stormy night & past 4am before I managed to sleep. Shoulder still aching, a bit, & no nerves bothering me yet. Have weekly groceries delvered soon, 12-2pm, & ordered some heat patches & will try then over clothing this time, as on the bare skin became too burning hot last time.🙄

Congrats on the HS @Flower :D

Good luck with your eye appointment @Northerner 😉 I never leave the house witnout my sunglasses in my handbag. I always need them all year round & even if it’s raining after Cataracs ops my eyes are very sensitive to bright sunlight! Do you carry a manbag? My dad always teased us womenfolk about carrying everything but the kitchen sink in our bags & had loads of pockets on the inside & outside of his clothing. But, even HE eventually had to get & carry a little black, it HAD to be black wouldn’t be manly otherwise, messenger bag he carrys crossbody for a manbag that we, the girls in the family, tease him about: hey, turnabout is perfectly fair!🙄😉:D He was once caught out, during a walk with me, without his umbrella & refused to go under mine because it was too pink & foral! I didn’t get it & tried coaxing him when one of our neighbours, a lady, passing us said to me “Oh no, he doesn’t want to be seen using that!”😱:D

Good morning everyone🙂

Woke on 5.8 after a nice flat line overnight, so it looks we’re all adapting nicely to spring.

It’s horrible when that happens, Eggy. Sheep are pretty stupid. On Mull, they used to amble along the Main Street through the village, looking for freebies in the gardens. They seemed quite adapted to traffic, which is just as well with the logging lorries trundling through. If a sheep went under one of those, you’d have ready minced mutton for a shepherds pie. Lucky it wasn’t a deer, an adult red deer can wreck a car. So can the occasional Highland Coo on the back roads. Hope the courtesy car is up to Mr Eggy standard.:confused:

This cat we’re looking after seems to have made herself right at home. I was making a stir fry, yesterday, so I prepped everything - chopped up the cold cooked chicken, the veg, opened the tin of bamboo shoots so everything was to hand when I started. Went and had a sit down for a rest. Got up to go to the loo, and noticed Bella sitting on a bar stool nicking bits of cooked chicken like it was a bloody Tapas Bar :D

Fortunately, there was enough for everyone, so no big deal.🙄

Have a good day, everyone, make the most of the climate change, and I hope all the hospitaleers get the results they hope for🙂

Aye you’re right Mike, could have been a deer in that part of the world but I think they have more sense than sheep! Mr Eggy has been offered a Mondeo! 😱 They were fresh out of F Types! 🙂
 
Thanks all 🙂 Yet again they have refused to stick needles in my eyes, as I'm 'just below' the threshold for the treatment - like I have been for the last 15 visits! 😱 A relief, but at the same time a sort of slow torture as I steel myself to expect it each time! 🙂 Particularly potent drops today, eyes still not quite recovered and feeling headachey :( Off to hunt some parrots-eat-em-all 😱 🙂

One of Mr Madeline’s friends hit a cow on one of the commons in London. It bounced off the bonnet and went up over the roof kicking out the windscreen as it went. Then got up and walked off! That cow must have been Teflon😱

I’m glad you guys are ok, poor sheep and car though :(

Review went well. Different nurse but pleased with results and realistic that some average for HbA1c was pre insulin. Will recheck in 3 months. Happy about BG record although a bit high but in single figures, better at moment not to have too tight control. To up insulin a wee bit in evening. Happy I am doing a bit more exercise. Btw 2 miles today- it’s a start

Are you feeling better with thyroxine? You have had a lot going on, so maybe just taking time to get better.

I think it is helping. Over the past week it's been like someone has flicked a switch on in my brain, but I'm not sure how much that has to do with the thyroxine kicking in or the rapid approach of Spring 🙂 Probably a combination 🙂 I'm due a blood test soon to see what my levels are now 🙂
