The sad thing is that when the NHS is not 'switched on' then it can cause unintentional terrible harm and suffering.

I guess the secret is getting someone to actually listen and act.

Yes, for emergencies the NHS is extremely good, but day to day it’s overwhelmed, especially with the pandemic. I guess too that the lockdowns have had an adverse effect on you and your wife. It’s hard and I wish I could help.
 
5.6

Day off today. Was planning on getting up early and going on a 20 mile stroll but it’s been raining since before I woke up and looks set to be chucking it down all day.
 
Morning all from a very flummoxed Eggy. 8.1! Of course I washed my hands again and tried a different finger, 8.2! Even checked my basal pen to make sure that if I did inject last night, I did, and the correct amount. 🙄 I suppose in the last 10.5 years I’ve had that sort of number on waking but I honestly can’t remember when, maybe before I was on insulin. I was a low 5.9 before bed, really, really didn’t want to eat anything but decided on one ginger nut, Mr Eggy suggested two but I couldn’t face it. Looks like he was right, I’ve obviously gone low and had a liver dump, or that pesky DF along with Dawn paid me a visit. Ah well, it is what it is and it’ll all come out in the wash I’m sure. There’s worse things to worry about.🙂

@Lanny hope you feel better soon, I felt rubbish for about 48 hours after my jab then was absolutely fine and my BGs stayed stable.
@Gwynn I feel for you and your wife, I have no experience at all of what you are going through but I can imagine how difficult it must be. All I can offer you is a virtual hug and some of my inner strength.

Have a fab Friday everyone, weather is pretty rotten here, never mind it’s “do the ironing whilst watching rubbish telly” day. 🙂

GoodMorning Friday 7.1 where did that come from
 
Morning all. 5.4 this morning. So glad its friday.
 
You know this is the only place I get any kindness and support from right now. My wife cannot cope with anyone coming to the house (no friends left now) and so I have been isolated way longer than people in lockdown, and we know how hard that has been on many.

I guess this may ge a bit of a 'down' day

Except, there are good bits too. I feel well. My BG is always good. I have lost lots of weight. Food now tastes great. I have lots of energy. I have somewhere to sleep, eat, cook. I have clean clothes, running fresh water, central heating that works. And it doesn't rain indoors (it did when we first bought the house)

I need to concentrate on the blessings today and not mourn the losses or fear the unknown future.
 
4.7 for me again. 🙂

Morning all, 7.4 today with a very sore arm after second jab yesterday. Off shopping within the hour and then taking Misty to the vet. She is having trouble keeping one of her eyes open. She has a lump on her eyelid so am assuming it is that that is irritating her but will see what they say. She has a few other lumps as well which I know is common in older dogs but will get them to check them as well.
@Gwynn you're doing a grand job in such a hard situation and our thoughts are definitely with you. Working in the NHS I would say that we all do our very best and would say that in our surgery alone we have 17,000 patients between 12 doctors, they work so hard and at present are also fitting in vaccination clinics on top of their already really long and busy days. I had a lady on the phone to me the other day ranting because she hadn’t had an ENT appointment for her daughter, when I checked her notes she had only been referred 2 weeks before and every referral is done and sent within 48 hours. She did not listen to me explaining the wait times at present and why. That’s not to say things don’t get missed etc but we all only want the very best for everyone!!
Anyway have a good day all xx
 
Just thought I’d pop back on to let you know I’ve just had a text inviting me for my second jab....tomorrow! It’s only six weeks since my first, so well chuffed. 🙂
 
Morning

Late again due to “service temporarily unavailable”

Another chilly day here, had to put the heating on for an hour last night which we haven’t needed for around 2 weeks now!

Well Echo pen was still showing 2 dashes after blousing for tea last night but has corrected itself by the time I’d done my breakfast bolus

It’s a 7.3 for me this morning

Not that anyone’s interested but may have found the type of duvet cover I’m after for £40, just waiting on a reply for the seller, yes still expensive but would really make things just that little bit easier on me xx

It's getting a tad irritating, I like routine! LOL xx
 
Morning all. :D 4.1 here.

Woohoo @Kaylz - I’m interested! You’d think a duvet cover with zips’d be popular, especially with an aging / arthritic population. And they sound man-friendly 😉 - with zips, even my OH could manage to change the bed once in a while LOL.😛

@Gwynn Sending (((hugs))).

I wish there was more than just clapping on our doorsteps @SueEK for all the brilliant people like you that are working so hard atm. I can’t fault my local surgery or my local hospitals.
