Group 7-day waking average?

@eggyg Maybe they just need a very long handled loo brush (A sparkling clean new one of course!!) to sort you out. 😉 Or perhaps you need Dynarod on speed dial.

Hope you are feeling a bit less uncomfortable and their treatment program is helping to ease things. Must have been pretty gruesome pain if it has made you reticent to consider eating food again because we know you like your food. Still as @mikeyB suggests a liquid diet may have it's compensations.
 
@eggyg, so glad to hear you're not going to need an op. Take care and get well soon x

I have loads on my kindle but I’m really rather impressed with Libby / Overdrive. One huge issue is that it doesn’t work on kindle without a huge amount of faff though.

I’ve read the whole series in order before and I’m looking forward to reading them all again. He’s a cracking story teller.
 
@eggyg I hope you make a full and speedy recovery soon xx

Haven’t met Robin’s husband ( a Preston émigré) but if I did I would gloat. 😉Wasn’t just a local derby, both sides were founder members of the football league, so there’s a long history. And Preston has expanded way beyond Deepdale, so they should be renamed Preston North Side. There is only one club in the whole English football league whose name doesn’t indicate the town or city region in which they originated. Without using Google, see if you can guess who that is

OH says Thank you for that! (he’s still sore). He also guesses Port Vale, for the quiz question. (Or maybe Arsenal, as they play miles away from Woolwich these days).

Hi all from my bed in the Cumberland Infirmary. 6.1 today. Ended up in A&E last night, had terrible abdominal and lower back pains. Started after my short walk to Aldi, back was aching and I suspected I’d overloaded my rucksack. Long story short after tea, cottage pie, I was in agony, didn’t know what to do with myself. Thought I was dying. Mr Eggy whipped me straight to hospital where I vomited in triage! Oops! Put on drip of morphine and had CT scan. Bowel obstruction! I was not expecting that, but hey it’s 2020, they suspect it’s caused by scar tissue after my ops. So nil by mouth for the next day or two, I’m getting an insulin pump! Well whilst I’m here. I’ve a cannula in my right arm hydrating me and for antibiotics and they have tried twice to fit a cannula in my right arm for the pump, they’re sending someone who knows what they’re doing. Docs words! Also have a tube up my nose into my stomach to drain it. It may mean an op if it doesn’t settle. Just twinges this morning. Fingers and toes crossed please everyone for a no op option. Have a better day than me everyone. 🙂

Hope you’re feeling better and things are improving.
 
05:49 BS 5.4 🙂

I think I’ll restart the exercises today & see how long I can walk for? 🙄

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

Short & sweet today as there’s nowt to report! 🙄:D😉
 
Morning, still from my hospital bed, 6.1. I’m hoping they may let me home today. I haven’t been sick or had pain since I came in. There’s been ehem....movement in the affected area, the nurse who has been waking me up every hour through the night to check my BGs, says that’s a good sign. I hope so as I’m absolutely fed up and just want to be home, in my own bed. Hospitals are not restful places, especially assessment wards! Feeling hungry too which is also a good sign, although I am apprehensive about eating. Fingers crossed I’ll have good news later. Have a good day.
 
Morning all
A 5.7 for me today.
Ah @eggyg sounds like improvement here, yes hospitals are not quiet places and there is nothing like your own bed.
Pray you get let out on good behaviour soon.
@Lanny I shall be out for my run at 7.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

5.6 today, heating on as its absolutely blooming freezing
xx
 
Morning everyone. After another really high night (i didnt wake to correct so must have been really tired) woke to 8.6, finger prick 9.6. Might have to tweak basal i think.
@eggyg, pleased to hear things are on the move😳 and hope you're out of hospital soon.
Have a nice day all

I’ve been a bit lazy about posting for a while due to other things occupying my mind first thing. But I do still do a finger prick every morning. Mostly nearer 6 than 5 due probably to a bad habit of eating a couple of cereal bars before going to bed.

I had my “exit interview” at the cardiac rehab centre on Tuesday. They put me through the same routine as at the start and I apparently showed a 54% improvement. I wasn’t told in advance, but they also take bloods to check lipids etc. I asked the Sister if they could also do a HbA1c (no chance asking GP) and she said “Of course”.

Anyway, lipids and cholesterol spot on and HbA1c a very satisfying 36, notwithstanding my new habit which I need to break. If I can get to speak to my GP I’ll ask if I can stop the Metformin as I’ve been down to only 1 x 500mg for some time, with his agreement.
 
@eggyg have only just caught up and shocked to see what you have been going through. How horrible and scary for you and so glad that you have improved enough that you may be able to come home today. Take things very easy and keep those fluids up, sadly wine is probably not the fluid they are thinking of. Sending lots of hugs to you xxx
@Grannylorraine so lovely to see you posting again. I hope you are well xx
@MeeTooTeeTwo great HS post, congratulations.
Well 7.4 this morning. Mostly all my readings are 6s or 7s so was very worried about my HbA1c result. Apparently it is 46, up by 2, which to me is good as again I increased my carb intake. Will have to reduce it very slightly to ensure it doesn’t continue to rise but am pleased with that.
Had my first Teams meeting yesterday, how weird is it talking to others via camera, very juddering and not like the interviews you see on telly. Another one next week.
Stay well everyone, sounds like some of you are having problems and I hope things settle down for you. Xx
