Group 7-day waking average?

Gwynn said:
Not a good day here my wife is literally 'off her head' today. I have just about had enough of the constant stress and worry and, would you believe, blame. She constantly blames me for the things she cannot blame unknown 'others' for. I hate her illness but there seems there is no stopping it. I am not sure we will survive this.

Today utter trivia, a flake of paint, something I cannot immediately locate there. All down to people trying to harm her.....not!!!

The slightest damage caused by wear and tear she firmly believes is because someone is out to get her. Its so sad. And so wrong.

I am tired of it all. 35 years of this problem is more than enough.

Instead of thinking reasonably why something might be damaged she immediately thinks its someone out to get her.

And there is no reasoning her out of her thinking.

I hate this.

Tired. Sad. Lost.

I hope that you have a better day today.
 
Morning, way up here on 18.9. I had the worst hypo I’ve had for a couple of years just before bed. I was 2.3 and falling but decided to treat it with shortbread-low sugar brain fog don’t do it!. When I woke up it was 1am and I don’t really know whether I fell asleep or what. Anyhow I then over retreated to make sure.

Beautiful sunny morning, time to try again.

Nice HS work @rebrascora - they all count🙂

Happy haircut day @Lisa66 🙂

Have a good day out there.
 
Morning all. 5.6 for me. Its lovely and sunny here so jumping in the shower and going for an early morning walk in the park before all the children get there.

@Michael12421 glad to hear you're feeling better. Do you fancy your belated birthday dinner?
@SueEK have a good day. I hope the registrar appreciates all you do.
@Lisa66 woohoo, a haircut! Enjoy! 4 days until i get mine.
@rebrascora, congrats on the HS. I would say its shown on your meter so claim it lol.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. :D Well, well, a 5.2 here on Tuesday 13th (Spain’s Friday 13tho_O).

Glad you’re feeling better today @Michael12421. 🙂

Slow-release carb always seems like such a good idea when I’m going low too @Flower - glad to hear there was no harm done, phew! Scary stuff.😳

We should start a haircut thread! Before and after LOL.
 
Morning

Another cold frosty start but living room starting to heat up with the help of the heating lol

Feeling a little more human today, was sick once yesterday morning, KO'd after dinner for about 45 minutes as the postie woke me, he shouldn't have bothered as was only election leaflets! Still not feeling 100% but sure I'll be fine

I'm joining @Michael12421 and @Lisa66 with a 6.3

Congrats on the HS @Bloden xx
 
@Bloden congratulations on the HS
@Flower wow sounds awful - hope you are feeling a bit more human now. Have a lovely day if you can x
 
@Bloden congrats on the HS
@Kaylz maybe thats why your levels have been up and down a bit, you were coming down with something.

No I'm not unwell really, it was just trapped wind that made me sick and probably that I'd shoved around 5 Lift's down my throat by then hadn't helped xx
 
You guys are all very kind and keen to bestow an HS on me but I am absolutely not claiming or accepting one. Thanks anyway!
My waking reading was 3.8. I just mentioned the 5.2 so that you would know that I was recovered from my hypo with just one Lift tablet and some Foot On The Floor, because I was conscious that just taking 5g carbs for a hypo is a bit naughty, but 15g would have taken me into orbit.

@Bloden Congratulations on a REAL House Special.

@Flower So sorry to hear that you had a really bad hypo.
That hypo brain fog is strange. I often end up trying to figure out how to input the treatment carbs into my Libre or phone app BEFORE I actually take them which of course is normally very straight forward but takes some thinking about when hypo and I will be thinking to myself, "I must get this done so that I can eat my carbs" instead of actually taking the hypo treatment and then recording it whilst it is taking effect. It happens rather too often but thankfully I do realise that I am being stupid sooner or later, mostly sooner.

@Gwynn So very sorry to hear that you had such an impossible day yesterday. I can't begin to imagine how difficult your life must be. All I can do is send (((HUGS))) and hope that your wife is in a more rational state of mind today and that things go smoother. It does sound like you need more support or a break but I appreciate that will be very difficult to facilitate, particularly in the current climate.

@Lanny and @EllsBells... Am I correct in thinking that congratulations are due to you both for yesterday.... Afraid I am too lazy to scroll back through several pages of posts to check I have remembered that right.
 
Congrats to @Bloden and @rebrascora on the HSs.
@Michael12421 Good to hear you're feeling better. Maybe treat yourself to that steak tonight?

I'm checking in with my third 5.1 on the trot at 07:23 on this lovely sunny West Berks morning. Bit of frost last night but now confined to the shadows of the trees. The chickens were much happier this morning - they were very confused by yesterday mornings snow!

I did rides on the exercise bike on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so yesterday was a rest day. I got my exercise mat out for the first time in what seems like ages and did a yoga class and a Pilates class. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy them. Definitely trying to sort out my exercise regime this month and get back into the groove as I was a bit lax last month.
 
Morning all. 8.6 today. Very cold. Watching Dr Now. Just watched New Tricks. Up to Series 12 and only started watching due to Biggs being in it but so good I went back to the beginning. Good telly.
 
Couldn't get on earlier. Not sure if it was me or the site. ;-((
Anyways my reading was 5.1. A near miss. 😎

5.8 this morning

Struggling a little with the ptsd yesterday and today.
Awful dreams. Sleeplessness. Teary.

Have to call IAPTS back to arrange assessment for therapy either today or tomorrow and I’ve a call to return from Galop about the same thing.

Didn’t manage to get to the gym yesterday and won’t go today but do need to go to the shops at some point to buy some new clothes so hopefully I can do that this week around working.
 
5.2 I get these when I have a lie in so might have to keep that up odd though if I get up early im in the 4's.
