Group 7-day waking average?

Today we moved my parents into the care home. Thankfully all went well and wasn’t as bad as I thought it might have been.

Thanks Dez. It feels a mixture of sadness and relief. They lived in their house since being married almost 70 years ago. This was the home I was brought up in so it is also a bittersweet day for me. We still have lots of things to clear in the house but that can wait for a while now. Time to take a breather for a bit!
 
@Eternal422 so glad the move went well for your mum and dad and they're settled in. It will be a huge relief for you. Enjoy your break and relax.

Thank you! They both fell over the weekend so that really underlined the need to have more care and be in the care home.

Glad they finally accepted and went @Eternal422 . My late father had a number of falls in the last five years breaking both hips - he wouldn't accept having a button around the neck. We proposed going into a home several times, but he ignored them all. Eden when he had a care team going in several times a day, still no LIfeline. He only accepted going into a hospice in the last few days of his life - he never made it.
 
Still no internet, in the pub on their Wifi. Virgin were supposed to come today but never turned up. Anybody actually try to get any sense out of them either on line or phone, none of the options fitted the situation. Hopefully tomorrow. Other half is like a bear with a sore head big time, even smashed his mouse in frustration
 
Indeed! A very swingy day! My BS was still high but, not as high as I feared after my sandwich when I had a quick & easy roast chicken dinner, I’ve posted before about how I do that, 20:27 BS 11.8 I WAS going to give it the normal dose off 44NR but, only 42 left in the pen & went with it. Just as well really as with active NR still on board I hit the 5’s just now & made myself a cuppa & had a giant soft baked chocolate praline cookie 22:41 BS 5.7: monitored early & knew I would be heading for a hypo at some stage & when it hit the 5’s is the time to act! Now BS is starting to rise after tea & cookies 23:04 BS 6.6. Try & keep awake for a bit to make sure BS doesn’t drop again? I didn’t take the exercise factor into account: wasn’t quite the amount of exercise I’d planned for without the bus trip but, it was still some exercise walking the long corridors & the initial high BS 17.0 was mostly the unpredictable stress factor to BS I get with medical appointments! 🙄o_O I’ll have to remember that on Thursday! :confused:
