Group 7-day waking average?

A bright sunny morning here in Berkshire. A not so bright 6.5 today. What's happened to my five point somethings?

Maybe like me your metre has lost it’s 5s! I’m sure mine has. I hardly see 5s on a morning anymore. :(
 
Morning all, on what I am sorry to say is a wet morning. Not forecast at all, have a pile of washing I wanted out and Mr Eggy has a pond wall to finish building. It had better buck its ideas up! Well a disappointing 6.7 today, probably over treat last nights hypo, can’t win can we? Not too achy after yesterday’s walk but did wake through the night with excruciating pain in my right knee. Never knew I had a bad knee until yesterday when it decided to cause problems. Ah well, something to add to my knackered shoulders, hips and back! It’s a good job I’m a glass half full person. Have a great day all. @SueEK good luck with DESMOND and anyone one else with appointments etc. 🙂
 
Morning all.

Must google, never heard of these. 🙂

9.7 @ 6.12am not bad after a really stupid tea yesterday. Got in the garden just after six but now rain has stopped play. What a wash-out summer!
 
:( Oh dear! My shoulder is really starting to hurt again & will get the gel ice pack, thank goodness I have a backup one as I fell asleep & only put last night’s one back in the freezer this morning: takes 6 hours to freeze!

I REALLY can’t see that physio can help in an way today but, I want an injection & that needs referral after examination! 😱🙄

In pain emoji! :(
 
Good morning gang🙂

Went to bed on 6.2, nice straightish sloping down line to a waking 3.7. Brill, that’s a couple of dark chocolate digestives with the Americano and first puff of the e-pipe. All part of the master plan.😎

It’s our last full day looking after Bella the cat, who is currently sleeping on my lap and making it awkward typing on my iPad. Essentially, this means a break from being manipulated by a superior intellect. Not that I’m paranoid. But I’m rapidly coming the the view that Larry the No. 10 cat is the real Prime Minister.:confused:

It’s another cricket watching day today, as usual. Plus waiting for a sensor delivery, which is interesting- I ordered them on Monday. If they aren’t careful, Abbott might get a reputation for efficiency, which is even stranger than cats ruling the world.

Have a great day, folks. Sieg Miaow🙂
 
Good morning 9.9 after 3 digestive biscuits at bedtime.😳 Washing all done and dried, looks like a showery warm day again.🙄

Seems a lot going on with the gang today, anyone with appointments and courses good luck. Those who are not to good {{{HUGS}}}, but try and have a good day folks whatever you are doing.🙂

Hey @Kaylz I had roots done a couple of years back, £320.:( Still give me sh*t after two more visits and £180 lighter went to another dentist, one look, one x-ray, less one tooth, no charge. A nice embarrassed colleague.🙄😳

I've had root treatment a few times but think they were later removed lol or capped, thankfully I don't have to pay at the minute as I'm needing a partial denture and everything :( xx

Morning all, 5.7 here, matching @khskel again!
Actually got out into the garden yesterday, and managed to plant some Cleome seedlings that have been hanging around in pots waiting for the weather to improve.

You guys are not going to believe this but I too have a 5.7 fasting reading this morning after having the same 5.3 reading as the pair of you yesterday. Doubt we will manage to sync our readings tomorrow as well and if we do, we need to go out and buy a lotto ticket. The odds have to be pretty low for the same 3 people to have the same reading 2 days in a row but three would be stretching the limits of probability!
 
05:22 BS 6.4. 🙂 I’m ok with that since I went to bed on 5.4 & I always, almost always, wake up higher! I’m cold? again this morning with the heater on: still not sure if it’s REAL cold or neuropathy but, the heater helps! 🙄

A very early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 The rest is loquacious & you can skip it entirely! I won’t know! 🙄😱😉

Well, physio didn’t go the way I thought it would at all! 🙄 First off when I got there I told my physiotherapist about my neck surgery assessment appointment on Monday 24/06/19. We then spent 45 minutes, the entire appointment, discussing my medical history, medications, the injuries, shoulder & neck, pain levels, mobility levels, weight, fitness, the whole lot! Then came the BIG one near the end: my expectations & what I want out of physio?

Now, I realise this is very early in the morning before breakfast so, TOO MUCH INFO WARNING! Skip below********** if you don’t want to read.

**************************************************
I said I’ve gotten used to the inconvenience, also used to by now telling people about it without embarrassment, of not being able with either arm of cleaning myself up with toilet paper after going to the toilet every time! Be it number 1’s, partial as I can’t reach far enough back, or number 2’s, not at all! I’ve had to sit in a basin of water each time to clean myself: at least I’ve saved a lot on toilet paper these days!
**************************************************

The main thing I want is to be pain free with my left shoulder even if I don’t get full mobility back. I know it may not be possible as I only got upward movement back after 2 years of physio in between 2 injections & only have very limited backward movement in my right shoulder when I injured it previously, about 5-7 years ago?

All of that without examination as we ran out of time! That’s to come next Wednesday, after my neck appointment, & he told me to put a slip on under my dress, he’s a young man about half my age! I said I already came prepared for today & I said I haven’t been able to wear a bra for some time as the straps are too much for my shoulder & I wear half slips under my dresses!

Just as well that I wasn’t examined as I’d already told him, at the start, that I’d wrenched my shoulder badly the day before putting on & off a coat! I now put on a wool cape that I swing around my shoulders & button up with no sleeves! I spent a painful night with a gel ice pack & also that morning just prior to seeing him.

I got home, was tired out & still achey for quite some time. But, after a wee snooze around 10pm, I felt MUCH better, looser, & ALMOST ache free! Ate a very late dinner before going back to bed just after midnight Levemir . I’m still a bit achey now but, it’s the normal background level!

Right, I’m finished gabbing, honest, & I’ll have some breakfast! Whew! Has she FINALLY finished talking yet? 😱:D😉
 
Good morning 🙂 7.5 for me today 🙂 Looking bright and sunny outside 🙂 Happy Summer Solstice! 🙂

Sorry you weren't able to get anything more than a discussion out of your physio appointment @Lanny :( Hopefully, with all the information now available the next appointment will actually provide you with some treatment that helps 🙂
