Group 7-day waking average?

I survived Brendon and woke to a 6.3 again. Busy day as it’s our grandson’s 13th birthday. The hordes are descending on us for a Mexican themed meal. Grandson’s choice. So I’m just about to rub my pork, that’s not a euphemism BTW, with honey, brown sugar, chipotle paste, and various spices for spicy pulled pork which will be served with spicy Mexican rice, nachos, potatoes with chorizo, re fried beans and a massive mixed bean salad. Along with tacos and tortillas and various dips and cheese. Should be a good night. Only 10 as youngest daughter and hubby on their honeymoon. Have a great day. Arriba, arriba, andale, andale! That’s the extent of my Mexican, learnt from the master....Speedy Gonzales! :D
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 10.3 for this morning- home made vegetable soup and a good nights sleep and I awake to that.

Brenda is still hanging in there on my doggy walk bit cold and windy off to office shortly.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope all is well with you.

Sorry I have not been around, been a tad poorly. Last Wednesday, on a bus journey home, the bus started pulling away just before I reached my seat, then did an emergency stop, I went flying, landed heavily on my back. I thought I had broken my back.

I spent 5 hours in A and E, xrays showed no broken bones, but lots of soft tissue damage, doubly incontinent (now ok). Excruciating pain, despite heavy duty pain killers. Getting in/out of a chair, bed, even the loo, has been a nightmare. So from shoulder blades to my bum, particularly below the waist, ouch!!!

There is a wee improvement, but still a ways to go. Hospital said, 4-6 weeks, oh deep joy. Something so stupid, causing so much pain and discomfort.

Anyway 5.4 this morning.

Enjoy your day folks
 
That is great news @merrymunky , what a relief for you.

Oh heck @Hazel . How horrible for you. I hope the worst of the pain eases quickly.
 
Morning all, 5.5 here. All calm outside, but it’s supposed to get stormy again this afternoon, maybe we are in the 'eye' at the moment.
Goodness we’ve got a whole load of members in the wars, really sorry to hear about your accident, @Hazel, I've been told 6 weeks for my ribs, it’s so frustrating, isn’t it. Hope everything’s not too sore with you, @SueEK.
 
Good morning folks. 5.3 with a long slow downwards slope on my overnight graph.
Hope you all have th3 best day possible.
 
6.4 this morning after bake club, so could have been a lot worse. I resisted all of the sweet goodies on offer, but there were loads left that no one wanted to take home being the first one since Christmas, so someone kindly suggested why doesn't Lorraine take it to work with her and ask for donations towards each piece (would be voluntarily of course), for my fundraising towards my 1/2 marathon. But I caved when I got home and ate a peice of blackberry, almond & Buttermilk cake, it was delicious though.

@merrymunky so pleased to hear everything was good with the baby.

@Hazel sorry to hear we have another member on the accident list in pain. I hope the pain eases soon.
 
Morning all, 8.7 for me today. 50 days and counting until my next holiday.
 
Pleased to hear little MM is doing ok !

Went out for a burger last night in my dinner break, and thought I'd chosen well to avoid carbs. Been up in the 9s/10s since. 10.4 this morning... I'm sure work this morning will bring it back down...

Aw @Hazel, I am so sorry to hear this :( You should sue the bus company, they are supposed to wait until everyone has reached their seat before starting off :( I hope you start feeling better very soon {{{HUGS}}}

Thank you all. You’re a lovely bunch. I was seen at 10am and after a five minute search my girlie’s heartbeat showed itself nice and strong. I spoke to the DSN who said I had handled the hypo very well and was doing everything excellently.
She had a couple of theories as to why I crashed so low on Friday. One being a baby growth spurt as others have suggested and sapping all my resources. I had also gone to bed earlier that night so my insulatard might have been too close to my novorapid. The novorapid might not have had the four hours it needed to work it’s way out of my system.
Either way the relief to finally for the first time ever to hear one of my children’s heart beating was magical. Obviously I’ve had scans and seen it but I’ve never actually heard it. Lumi was already gone at my 26 week appointment so it was radio silence. I honestly thought for a minute today the same was going to happen as it took so long to find her.

That's really good news - I think you had quite a few of us crossing our fingers for you, and I think your baby girl has already got lots of 'aunties and uncles' on the forum watching out for her. Hope you have a good day.
 
6.9 for me this morning, so coming back down slowly. Probably still being a bit affected by this dreadful cold that is still hanging around. It has also stopped may exercise routine and resulted in to much settee sitting. Beginning to feel better though, so back to normal routine soon.
My turn for annual check up with nurse today.

Morning all. 5.9 this morning. Wonder if its the stress of hospital visit? probably.

You are very critical of your figures, I would be delighted to be in the 5s every day, even once a week would be good. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re doing brilliantly x
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂

Tree fellers just turned up (actually there was four of them 😛) and are getting ready to prune the nearby birches.
The whine of a chainsaw for the next few hours. 😱
I'm off out to do some quiet shopping, methinks!!

Have a great day everybody.

Oh heck @Hazel. Sounds just like me, a stupid freak accident. It’s if any consolation, nearly 7 weeks in and I’m up and about and back out walking. Not far and certainly not fast but I’m feeling more positive every day. Try and be patient ( ha ha, hark me, the most inpatient patient ever) rest but keep mobile. Ice the worst parts if you can. Take your painkillers regularly even if you’re not in pain at that time. Accept help, I’m not good at that either, but do as I say and not as I do and you’ll be fine. Take care. Xx
