Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, it's a 5.0 from me this morning
 
Morning all. 7.2 on the Richter scale, nothing at all to do with the fish and chips I had last night of course! Thanks to everyone who asked after Mr Eggy, he is absolutely fine now. Spent most of yesterday morning in bed and felt fine. I do worry about him. :( So we had a later outing, not to the Lakes but the coast, did a bit of birdwatching ( I’ll pop some pics on the bird thread)and it would have been incredibly rude not to partake in the local delicacy! 😉 We just made it back to the car before the rain started and it poured all the way home. Lovely this morning, pity it’s ironing, watching c**p telly, eating 85% Lindt and drinking Diet Coke day! Have a fab-u-lous Friday.🙂
@Baz. you’re on fire at the minute, well done.
@ColinUK I always get the urge to laugh at funerals don’t think I could have coped with a Zoom one! The cheese jokes.... tread Caerphilly! 😛
 
I took both my dogs for a walk at 11.30, once we got into the campo I let them off their leads because I can only walk very slowly and they need more exercise than that. At mid-day my eldest dog vanished from sight. I was not unduly worried because she does that often but always comes back to where I am sitting before we get back into the village. Yesterday she didn't and I waited for 2 hours. She knows how to get home so I went home. I left the front door open for her. She didn't come back. I went looking for her after another couple of hours but to no avail. I didn't inject or eat - I was so worried. She is 15 years old and not in the best of health and I thought the worst. At 8 pm I closed the door and went to bed. At 10 pm the doorbell rang and my heart sank. Looked out from the balcony and saw my next door neighbour who pointed down and there was my dog. 10 hours of worry and despair. Went downstairs and let her in - straight to the water bowl she went because it had been a very hot day. I was too relieved to be anything but happy that she was home. She will stay on the lead for this mornings walk.
 
6.6 today. Absolutely nothing of interest to report.
@Michael12421 - I also would have been distraught, so glad she came home safely. Look after yourself x

Oh what a relief for you. Do you think she maybe has a bit doggy dementia and forgot her way home? Poor thing. But remember to look after yourself too as they both need you in one piece. Take care.

@MeeTooTeeTwo , there’s a blade-less type of can opener that leaves no sharp edge at all made by Kuhn Rikon that simply undoes the joint between the two edges & reverses the canning process.

Thanks @Lanny for the recommendation, I've added one of those to my Amazon wish-list. 🙂
Unfortunately the culprit in this case was one of those ring pull tins of tomatoes. 😱

Forgot to post my 5.8 before I went for my early morning exercise today.

Stay safe and well,

Dez
 
Peluche @ColinUK - cuddly toy in Spanish - what a fab name for a cat! 🙂

What a horrible day out there. We’re taking our time getting ready for the morning walk today.😉
Another 5.0 here.

Hope you have a better day today @Michael12421. Bloden and Gwen used to disappear - into the ‘campo’ as well - and come back about two hours later...aw, my poor heart-strings, the little b*gg*rs! So glad yours came back, FINally.

Morning all! 5.1 for me.

So near... and yet so far!

Sorry you had such an awful experience @Michael12421 - I would have been beside myself!
 
08:45 BS 16! 😱 Woke up with my heart racing & a stonking headache last night before 23:30 BS 4.5 & what a palaver it was to finally get that reading: was SO clumsy that it took me 3 attempts to get it; there was definitely enough blood but, couldn’t line up the narrow bit of the strip where the blood has to go in! The GlucoRx nexus strips are so big but the bit in the middle, where the blood goes is SO narrow in comparison: it’s not the first time I’ve had that problem when in the hypo shakes; it won’t be the last time either!😱 I‘d already eaten 4 jelly babies by the time I finally got that reading: knew it was a bad hypo & didn’t really need the reading to know it was! Then, the hypo hunger struck & I ate 6 chocolate covered marshmallows & half an oatcake as well. Almost midnight by then so, had my Levemir before going back to sleep but, it took until after 02:00 before my heart calmed down enough for me to sleep!😱 I KNEW while guzzling than it was too much but, it’s so hard when my hypo brain is SCREAMING at me to EAT!😳 Already had half oatcake & 3/4 breakfast dose Novorapid so, my BS will drop before I eat lunch in about 4/5 hours later!🙄

I was a bit surprised to find more antibiotics when I finally remembered my prescription that I ordered last Friday & had delivered yesterday only because I needed more insulin. I asked my GP, on the online order form, if I could have a secondary bacterial infection as my recovery was still SO slow & if AB’s would help? I wish I’d known about the AB’s as I’m starting them late but, I had 2 yesterday, 1 twice a day for a week, & that’s the only thing I think that could have caused my hypo last night, just took my 2nd one before bed!:confused: Will have to monitor more closely while I take the AB’s this week🙄

A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
