Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks Teds about😱 5.1 on a very overcast day but no rain.🙂

Sorry haven`t been about been laid up for a while after an accident at home🙄
was Dysoning the living room floor stepped back and my wobbly legs decided
to keep on going. Bear in mind I`m going backwards and ended up stuck to the
coffee table by my upper back mainly on the right hand side, massive bruising
and torn muscles. Managed to hit the panic button and Paramedics arrived in
less than 5 minutes, they took me to A & E in my personal Ambulance, TED 1:D
were I stayed for 2.5 days. No phone or any other means of contacting the outside
world except son 400 miles away but he had to contact the hospital to find out
what`s happening.

They took me home when I could prove I could walk to the bathroom etc. neighbours
rallied around and done all the cooking for me and some cleaning😎 made sure I was
comfortable in bed with test gear and everything D at hand. Finally managed to recover
enough to sit in the recliner and that`s when I noticed the coffee table😱 leaning at an
angle with all the joints separated my hand made coffee table, broke,😡 (note to self
loose some weight you fat b***ard.)🙂 Still in a lot of pain and right side of body seems
to have a trapped nerve if I move my head to the right my neck, arm goes all tingly but
the Docs are aware of it so I`m having physio they come to me.

Up and about now albeit slowly does it here endeth the tale.:D

Congratulations on HS @Kaylz.🙂

@eggyg and @rebrascora here is my sick note, View attachment 15613

Great to be back on board missed you all now to catch up with the forum
take care stay safe.🙂
Ted, Ted, Ted! What you blooming like? I’ve always said housework is dangerous, you really need to give it up. Get yourself a cleaner and be a gentleman of leisure. They’ll be charging you rent in that hospital soon, do you have your own room as well as your own personal ambulance? I was going to say private ambulance but that’s something different all together! Take care you numpty!
 
Thanks for your best wishes again folks thought I was doing ok for the last couple of months
but had to get another one in before Brexit arrived.:D

Just checking the forum and missed a couple of birthdays:!!

A very belated happy birthday to @Northerner sorry I missed it Alan hope you had a wonderful day.🙂

Another happy birthday all but belated to my kangagorillapig mate with his tame Kookaburra 1605543648895.png
Just look at the eyes she is looking at Eddy and is in love.o_O:D
 
Morning all. 6.4 when i went to bed then according to libre graph it shot up to 13 overnight!! No idea why. Anyway, 11.7 with a downward trend for breakfast. Hope its just a one off as i've been in target 100% the last 3 days
Have a good day all. @Kaylz hope you enjoyed your birthday x
Sunday night worry before Monday morning children delight ! I was 5.9 at bed time then went upto to 12.7 before a 15.1 as I left home falling back to a 4.4 at break time.
 
That sounds like ‘normal’ Monday levels from my memory of when I was teaching.
I hope that the day worked out well and things settled.
 
A 6.3 this morning and a long walk around a wetlands site today with excellent levels, and then I found a bag of peanut treats in the bottom of my rucksack!!
 
@Bloden how did Gwennie get on? I meant to ask before now! xx
Aw, there’s kind of you to ask. 🙂She didn’t need the vet in the end (thankfully, saved some cash). The appointment was for the following day and her eye had cleared up by then. All the green eye snot 😳 - yuk! - had miraculously disappeared.

@KARNAK you give hoovering a bad name. Get well soon!

So glad to hear from you again Ted.
Definitely a good idea to leave out the cleaning!!
Take care

Oh that's great news, possibly she'd just got a draught in her eye as that can do it, glad she's ok 🙂 xx

Yep. Thats probably it...and all the worrying about remembering to sanitise everywhere you've touched (if you can remember everywhere), remembering to wear face masks if you leave the room.... its never ending!

Like many we now have confirmed cases. Done well to get this far in really. So a little more OCD and I hope they recover quickly.
 
Morning all,
A Heinz Special again today at 5.7.
Still wading through VHS video transfers, you forget how long it all takes and I have run out of copy media!

Welcome back @KARNAK Ted!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning folks. 7.2 today. Don’t want to go to work, it’s horrible, worse than before. The amount of work is ridiculous, it’s totally out of control and still no help on the horizon, so demoralising and wish I was being dramatic but I’m really not.
@KARNAK so good to see you back. Get out the bubble wrap, cotton wool, foam or whatever is necessary to keep you in one piece. X
 
@KARNAK welcome back Ted!

And a 4.9 for me this morning. Spoke with a cousin of mine yesterday who was diagnosed T2 earlier this year as well. “You’re wrong about your blood sugar levels Colin” she said. “Mine is fine and it’s between 8, 9 or 10. Something like that. I don’t test it anyway” she said.

It’s a pity that some people just ignore the advice about getting BG under control. I doubt she realises the impact her diabetes will likely have on her health as she ages. But that’s her body and her life not mine. If anything she hardens my resolve to make my body the least hospitable place for the Diabetes Fairy to call home.

Work was fun yesterday as I had long Zoom meetings with various anti vaxers who took the opportunity to declare they didn’t believe the COVID stats, think it’s all a false flag, won’t get vaccinated against it because “they’re lying” about efficacy but did say they’d had their flu jabs recently “because that works”. I pointed out that efficacy of the flu jab is generally no more than 40% at best. “Yeah but that’s ok but I don’t believe they’re being truthful about the 94% for COVID vaccines”.

Sometimes people really deserve everything they’ve got coming.
 
I saw on Co-Op's website that they have their 85% on offer at £1.28 a bar until 1st December, I however won't need chocolate for a while as have a tub with 4 packs of my 95% already broken up and got 5 bars for my birthday lol xx
That 85% Coop bar is delicious!
 
That 85% Coop bar is delicious!
I've never tried it, I like my individual Moser Roth bars too much lol and rest of the time it's Lidl 95 xx
 
Morning

Have 4 books in my cart on a website to get ordered for mum & grandads Christmas, trouble is he’s due to bring another 6 books for mum on Thursday so I’ll have to hang off to make sure they aren’t in there! Only £7 for them in my cart so fantastic deal!

Changed my bulb after breakfast yesterday, wanted to let the old BG’s come up a bit before climbing on and jumping off the bed etc haha, must remember to get some bulbs as that was the last one after the lamp one went on Saturday too

Anyways it was a 4.8 so after yesterday I had a gluco tab, 1 hour later before breakfast 3.7 🙄
