Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 5.3

Car ended up being in the bodyshop most of the day yesterday, although frustrating looks like he did a good job and in the end the bill was considerably less than I expected
my cold is better this morning although Mrs @goodybags is definitely still suffering

@eggyg I know exactly what your saying when you commented regarding hearing, I was also not hearing when in noisy environments to pick up conversations, also I’m often struggling to pick out audio in dramas & movies that have music in the programme, anyway cut a long story short, I’m due to collect my first pair of hearing aids from the audiology dept at the hospital next Monday, I’m also not mentally ready to accept the actual need for them but I’m going to give them a try and see

Sunday duties include, cleaning hoovering bungalow & car, Ironing shirts for work next week, plus I desperately need to spend some time clearing up the clutter that had accumulated on dining room table (mostly work related) and might do some admin that will need doing before the end of the month.

also I need to get my big coat out and find my cloves (it’s cold down south)

My daughter first needed hearing aids when she was 25 and the audiologist told her it is not your ears that do the hearing it is your brain so in order for your brain to learn how to hear using the hearing aids you should wear them all the time from when you get up until you go to bed. That is exactly what she did. Then she was able to have surgery to reconstruct the bones in the ear and no longer needs hearing aids after 25 years of wearing them.
I hope you get on with yours.
I'm sure my other half needs them but he won't admit there is a problem.
 
Morning all on this dreary wet day. However we are a LOT warmer than you lot "up norf" @ 13 degrees. Yesterday it was lovely and sunny till mid afternoon when it spoiled itself and rained for the rest of the day.

6.3 this morning when I first woke.

Been sitting in bed drinking tea, reading the forum and my emails and consciously ignoring the fact that there's a mega-amount of washing up to do waiting downstairs after yesterday's lunch party. About a zillion glasses, roasting pans etc. All the stuff that won't go in the dishwasher. The lunch was a success tho' and the last people left at pushing 8pm. By the time we had cleared the table, wrapped all the leftovers and put them in the fridge it was 9pm and we were exhausted. So we sat down and watched Lucan then went to bed. It was a lot of work, but worth it methinks.

Going to take it easy for the rest of the day after that (despite the pile of ironing that awaits)!

Congratulations to @eggyg, @Barrowman and @MeeTooTeeTo on your HSs.

@eggyg don't be afraid of hearing aids. No one notices mine despite having short hair and they do make life generally easier, no more TV at mega-decibel level and much easier to follow conversations. There's one drawback tho'. They do not help when there is a lot of background noise e.g. when in a busy pub.

OK... well, be good and if you can't then be careful folks!
 
@Eternal422 good luck with the results of your blood tests.
Thank you! The consultant said my next appointment would likely be in 3 months time! I know the antibody tests take a while but not 3 months! I assume it is down to lack of appointments. I must try and put this out of my mind until I get an appointment.
 
I've been awake since 5 am, alas, no reading taken until 7!

Another 7.1 here on this, rather, chilly day. There was no breeze and a partial blue sky. Not bad weather-wise.

We spent some more ca$h this morning as we had a visit from Rington's, this time on xmas presents! It's getting earlier and earlier in the year I swear!

Congratulations to @eggyg, @Barrowman and @MeeTooTeeTo on your HS's!
 
Good morning everyone! 7'8 this morning and 7-day TIR is 68%, moving in the right direction 🙂

My landlord sent his maintenance man to check on the fridge and he said it is definitely gone, so they will look for a new one. Hope it doesn't take too long. I had the most beige dinner last night: canned mushroom soup, bread and peanuts. Looking forward to be able to keep fresh veg and cheese in the house!
 
Good morning on waking (at my usual time just before 6am ) was 6.9 today

did get up & took my wife to work I even had some breakfast and took my meds
but then sent a message to work & I’ve taken today off work sick
I’m no longer feeling flu like but yesterday developed a pain best described as across the bridge of my nose and behind my eyes (which are itchy & sore) I've never experienced anything quite like this before,

my eyes feel just very tired and they do look swollen (like they sometimes are when I get bad hay-fever which I suffer from but obviously not this time of year) and never feltt like someone’s punched me on the top of my nose between the eyes.
something I found on Dr Google suggested sinusitis (post Flu or Covid) Im sure in the past I’ve been told was ive had sinusitis before, but not like this

I already have a phone consultation booked with my GP (not for this issue) but will see what he says, if I should / can be seen.

today feeling like want to sleep or relax keep my eyes closed in a darkened room, which I can if I’m off work

I had my tests done in June and got the results in September, most anxious during that 3 months! The consultant did send the results i.e. how much CPeptide I produced to my GP, but she didn't know how to translate it.

3 months must be their standard wait time! I have contemplated doing a subject access request to get them sooner, but somehow doubt their admin will be any quicker! If they do get sent to the GP then at least I could see them, I know how to interpret the results so at least I’d have some certainty.
