Group 7-day waking average?

Sorry do you mean a "new " cataract? What happened to me after a lens implant was a PCO (posterior capsule opacification) To treat this they blast it away with a laser. It gave me a bad headache but woke up with 20/20 vision the next morning.

@MikeyBikey I will double check when I see the surgeon tomorrow but I’m sure the Dr I saw yesterday in eye casualty said the fix will be a procedure to remove the implant followed by cataract surgery

I’m unsure at the moment exactly what kind of retinopathy I’m suffering from, it’s somewhere in a letter that I can’t find at the moment (remember needing that in a letter to my GP earlier this year) before my GP was happy to prescribe my Mounjaro, despite MJ itself not being a semiglutide which at the time was my HCP’s concern

the implant I had recently was Ozurdex (a dexamethasone steroid)
having in the past been treated with firstly laser in one eye, and then injections of 3 different medications the last one was Vabysmo, and before that Eyelea and the first one they tried me on was Lucentis, in both eyes, luckily one of my eyes responded well to the vabysmo so my eye sight whilst still not “normal” when wearing my varifocals is probably quite good.

was thinking about you Mikey yesterday when I was at eye casualty, when the Dr told me what was going on / what the fix was initially I found it quite upsetting and feeling rather sorry for myself, then I thought why am I upsetting myself this is fixable, other people have major struggles with everything thrown at them, like your transportation and everything your HCP,s put you through

Morning a 6.4 for me and a decline overnight after as we went out for the evening and I just did not take enough insulin so had to juggle a bit.
Lovely day yesterday and great to catch up with my colleague and don’t do it much so all the better when we do meet up.
We spent so much time yapping that she did not have any time to go shopping ( shoes and horsey things are her passion) and we were in a place with loads of nice shops.
Off to Southport today but have to call in to a house to pick up some garden decorations near Sefton Park in Liverpool for my beloved so will call on the way.
Painter called around yesterday and he had finished a few jobs off and only really need a deep clean then it goes on the market.
Unbelievable that the quote from the letting teams contractor to refurbish it was so high we decided to use a guy we know to refresh it and between that and the estate agents saying certain bits did not need doing we have got the house ready for about 25% of the contractor quote and saved an awful lot of money.
Anyway dogs do not like ice and one of our daschunds just stops and looks up at me which is my signal to pick her up and carry her back into the warm house.
Enjoy rest of week
 
Morning all. 12.9!!!! I was 4.1 when i went to bed so had a tiny handful of peanuts. Just realised why i didn't hear the alarm, my volume was turned down!! Oh well, corrrction had and off to take daughter to work. Catch up later.
 
Bit of a coldified head and hint of a sore throat this morning but considerably better otherwise. Confirmed by my trusty Apple Watch IMG_1943.jpeg
That borderline respiratory rate stat is enough to give just a mere touch of pink to the overall picture for the day which isn’t too bad considering how off kilter everything was the night before:

All that to one side and it’s a Len Special for me this morning.

Skipped theatre last night as didn’t think it wise to go. Today is much more interesting as I’m going to the dump this afternoon! I get to drive a big van and everything!

Hopefully I’ll continue to feel better as the day goes on as tomorrow I’ve tickets to see Macbeth (the Cush Jumbo, David Tennent one), Saturday is ballet day followed by a Met Opera screening of Tosca and then it’s Countdown to Takeoff as I’m flying on Wednesday morning. If I’m at all sniffly then I will wear a mask on the flight. Something like this maybe…

Good morning! A 6.5 for me after an awful night. Woken by the ghost of my leg around 1:00 and pain did not settle till around 3:00. Intermittent sleep thereafter as it kept sneaking back! Looks like it peaked near double that in the early hours! :(

Early doors physiotherapy today. Hope Patient Transport is more on time than last two appointments (one hour for the first and 20 minutes for the second).

Cloudy with frost (-2). Warming sun (+3) forecast for around 2:00.

There is not a right emoji as I wanted to express sympathy for you and thank you for thinking of me. When I first read about this issue it stayed in the back of my mind as I had an Ozurdex injection in July and a checkup in October with the next mid-January. Hope they sort it for you @goodybags .
 
Good morning everyone

Too much chocolate cake last night .... BG 5.3 ....

Rested all day yesterday and my hip is somewhat better. A way to go yet. I have decided not to play at the church on Sunday to give my hips a rest. It also means that I will not set up the sound system and won't be walking to the church either. I will be absent. Rest means rest, boring as it can be.

Bring me the Curs head.jpg

So today, another loooong day of rest, yawn. I'm not even going upstairs to play my keyboard!!! Shame really cos I wrote a new song the other day and my wife said she actually likes it! No accounting for taste

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. And it’s 5.2s all round. On the Libre and on my outdoor temperature thingymebob! It’s a tad chilly.

Helping with swimming Thursday today, if it hasn’t been cancelled. And then lunch for two daughters and three grandchildren, Rocco brings his own lunch! Mr Eggy already throwing wood and coal at the fire, it’s been on constantly since Sunday. When you live in a 300 year old listed sandstone house with gaps in the sash windows and the front door ( because you’re not allowed to install UPVC windows and doors) it’s a Godsend. Warms the house up no end.

Have a grand day and wrap up warm.

Morning all. 6.1 here.

It’s tough changing old habits for new ones @West Leeds Rick. Be patient, be kind to yourself, and shift your focus onto your healthier habits - I don’t think I could run 5k, so good for you! And it sounds like they were a friendly bunch. There’s a few running groups where I live - you can hear them coming a mile off cos of their non-stop-natter LOL.
 
Was 6.0 on waking earlier today

plenty of layers on as walking to hospital this morning (can’t rely on taxi or bus as they’re digging roads up round here at the moment)
HS congrats to @eggyg & @Sharron1

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Well done @eggyg & @Sharron1 on those readings. 🙂
A 6.1 for me today and still -2℃.

Dez
 
5.1 today for me.

Off to my AAA screening this afternoon, something new that the NHS are doing. It’s a good idea but for me, something else to worry about!

Congratulations to @Sharron1 and @eggyg on your HSs today!

Have a good day everyone!
