It's a lovely sunny Berkshire morning after a couple of wet and dismal days, so might get some garden chores out of the way today. Doing this using data on my phone as Sky have an outage in our area and we have no Internet at the moment.

@MeeTooTeeTo & @Pam123 - congratulations on the HSs

5.5 for me this morning.

Whatever your plans enjoy Star Wars Day.

Morning all. 7.2 this morning and a unicorn day yesterday. Sun/cloud here but quite warm. Two loads of washing are on the line and i'm just sitting with a cuppa before cleaning through the house quickly.

This afternoon, i'm going with a friend for a browse round the shops, a meal then the theatre. Its our christmas day we plan instead of buying a gift for each other. We're going to see Blood Brothers. I've seen it before and enjoyed it but she's never seen it. It will be a lovely afternoon/evening of relaxed chat, laughter and no doubt a few tears in the theatre.

@eggyg have a lovely break.

@Bloden the festival sounds great. Enjoy yourself.

@Gwynn are there any local groups for carers you could go to? Maybe the Carers Association will have a list of local groups or telephone numbers you could contact to get support. Your wife is in the right place to get the help she needs but you need to take care of yourself too.

Have a lovely day everyone.
 
Morning all and another lovely day, though there are some clouds around. Some people are walking around in coats, some in shorts/Tshirts.

7.4 this morning after 2 Dextro and half a biscuit at 02:30 for a 4.2. But have been 98% in range over the last 24 hours.

Gardening duty today.

@Gwynn so sorry for the way things are going. Just know we are all here for you.

@MeeTooTeeTo @Pam123 and @Colin g congrats on your HSs.

Have a good day all.
 
Morning all

Wow, sunshine today and warm to boot.
A happy 5.6 for me after a decent night's sleep for a change.

Have a good day folks and stay safe..

@Gwynn You’re not gullible but you are vulnerable. You’re vulnerable because you love your wife. You’re vulnerable because she’s ill. But you are far from gullible.
 
good afternoon
9.6 after a lay in for most of the morning (finally got up just before midday)

@Gwynn sorry to read your going through a hard time

Yesterday I saw my oorthopaedic surgeon who had fused my ankle last May,
he was happy with my recovery since the surgery I had last year.
Personally I feel I have still not got as much strength in that leg & ankle as I would like,
they took x-rays, for their records and im now discharged
he said these will be shared with my GP, I did ask about how I can obtain a copy apparently I can email them and request these but reception said there might be a small charge.

I’ve just been and got some shopping in, my wife has already started her continued work on landscaping the rear garden, the garden isn’t big, but was on a slant and like a jungle when we moved here a year ago, think I’m off to B&Q in a minute for more bags of gravel, sand & cement.

I start a healthy eating & weight management / gentle exercise programme next Thursday evening
I seen this featured on Facebook as it’s being run by local football club, funded through a community scheme, the Diabetic Consultant I spoke to of this to I believe suggested this (amongst many options available on referall) but I just booked it online myself, when I spoke to my GP recently he knew nothing of this but referred me to weight management clinic at the Hospital, so I’m def going to have multiple options to support me and increase my fitness.

Have a great weekend 😎
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.1
Pulse 58
BP 134/83 when I got up. I will do another reading in a few minutes. And the results are in ... Labour, er, no sorry BP 125/79 so it' moving in the right direction. Whew.

Just had a shower. I think it is very important to keep me and the house clean and tidy whilst my wife is away. It is so easy and so quick for chaos to take over.

Doing the sound system at the practice at the church last night was very hard. Very moving.

Today church, a walk, rest, thinking of my wife.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all. 6.4
 
06:09 BS 8.1 & this is accurate as it’s a new sensor the other fell off & I had it replaced! Had a bath in the evening & it fell about an hour later.

Back to normal time too: that cup of coffee early yesterday morning helped to keep me up until about 19:30 ish; hadn’t had one in ages & just fancied it! The effects lasted a long time & it’s why I don’t drink coffee that often! 🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
4.3 cannot believe it first time it’s been this low in 4 months normally I wake up in the 5s or 6s , wow finally made it to the 4s club whoop whoop, good morning everyone !
 
6.6 this morning after a bad couple of days.

I had a suspected UTI on Friday that lead to urine retention and extreme pain overnight Friday. So yesterday after a call to 111, I was in A&E and thankfully very quickly triaged and treated. Bad news is that they are suspecting that the problem is an enlarged prostate. I’m hoping the infection is the cause of inflammation and the urine retention rather than anything else. So now I have a catheter, some drugs to reduce prostate size and waiting for an appointment within 2 weeks at urology. But at least pain free, now just trying to ignore the catheter! I need to resist Dr Google otherwise I’ll be worrying. Not a good start to retirement at home :(

Take care everyone.
 
Morning

6.2 today, so ok considering I had ice cream yesterday evening, out for a run/walk with my friend this morning and if it stays warm and dry will go for a walk later with hubby. Just booked a cottage for a holiday in Cornwall in September so feeling quite excited and positive about that.

@Eternal422 - sorry to hear of your pain and suspected UTI.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.
