Hi folks been a bit absent didn`t want to start a new thread, afraid Teds not been well.
Looks like the Gall bladder has to depart from said body when and how not sure yet.

Hope you are all well, take care my friends. xx

@KARNAK, hope you are well soon. I had mine out several years ago by keyhole and was out next day. Hope its like that for you.
 
I hope your surgery is pretty soon Ted @KARNAK

My sister had hers out many years ago but, it was a major surgery then & I’m sure the keyhole option will be less painful & faster to recover from!

Take easy in the meantime while waiting for your gall bladder removal or @eggyg will have kittens before she goes round to swaddle you with rolls of cottonwool!🙄😉
 
Morning all,
A 5.5 this morning on this moonlit day!
Might be a bit chilly for the morning run later.
Anyhoo started the first of the winter jigsaws yesterday as it never stopped raining.
Maybe get some more work done outside later...

Blessings Snowwy
 
A satisfactory 5.4 from me. Rain forecast throughout the day here. Have a great week everyone.
 
05:24 BS 4.8 😳 Oops! Overdid the correction a bit earlier after midnight Levemir but, I feel ok & had a biscuit!

Yesterday went pretty well apart from after breakfast 12:12 BS 11.5 but, didn’t correct as midday Levemir went in of 66 units, realised I typed the wrong figure yesterday in case you’re wondering; my usual is 60 & I increased by +6! The rest of the day stayed in the 7’s, had dropped to 7.0 before lunch & after was 7.6. I then slept for a few hours after 17:15 until I woke 22:05 still 7.6 so, the basal worked & kept me steady while I slept. Ate dinner & it was an hour or so afterwards that I started to feel my right ear ache & the right side of my neck just under the chin become sore & tender so, there’s my answer I’m definitely fighting an infection & will keep an eye on it & see the GP & get antibiotics if I things get out of hand. The soreness & ear ache slowly increased intermittently & I wasn’t really surprised to see my BS had risen when testing after dinner 00:12 BS 9.3 when midnight Levemir went in, yes quite a coincidence that both LR doses EXACTLY 12 hours apart & it wasn’t deliberate! I put in the 46 but, stayed up a bit more to see if BS rises because of the inflammation as I suspected neither of my dinner bolus nor basal might be enough? 02:24 BS 9.0 just after 4 hours since dinner NR to give me a baseline to test the LR dose. 03:51 BS 10.1 at which point I bunged in another 4 units of Levemir to the 46 I had around midnight & also cautious correction of 6 units of NR to bring me down a bit: a good thing my instinct told me I’d better aim higher than 5mmol for a safety margin; I aimed for 7mmol & got 4.8 with another 2 hours of active NR to go so, will keep an eye on things. Still feel ok so, the biscuit seems to be holding me up! But, in light of that slight overshoot of insulin, I’ll be a bit more cautious of increasing doses any more than ai have done already! But, if testing shows my BS rising I’ll use NR to correct & keep midday Levemir at 66 & not go up to 70 yet: in hindsight I shouldn’t have added corrections to both NR & LR doses at once!

An early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

Oh! Just realised I’m supposed to be calling my DSN tomorrow to report readings anyway so, I call later this morning for some advice! I may also call the health centre as all calls for appointments have now been triaged by the doctors for some time now to see if they think it’s serious enough to warrant antibiotics now?

Sorry to hear that, Ted, I hope everything goes OK.
Because this is interspersed amongst posts about Monty Python, I had a thought flash through my mind, about how many different bits of their innards various members are missing, 4 Yorkshireman style.

I’m not a Yorkshire man but here goes. Spleen, gall bladder and most of pancreas! Apparently when I had an MRI after all this, they discovered my left kidney had nicely filled part of the gap! They told me that everything just moves together rather than me have big gaping holes, which I had visions off! :D
 
Morning all. A quite disappointing 7.1. Stress maybe? Back to wedding planning after my “day off” yesterday. Another Richard Osman’s arms length list! Returning clothes, phoning docs to rearrange flu jab as can’t attend drive through clinic as on wedding day, iron bridesmaids/ flower girls dresses, sourcing face masks to coordinate outfits, check med situation, phone cottage owners to let them know when we are arriving and also to tell them we are leaving a day early, and start organising clothes for holiday, that’ll be easy...underwear, walking trousers, tee shirts, fleeces, PJs! Have a great day. It’s pitch black here and I haven’t a clue what the weather is doing but touch wood it stays dry. 🙂
 
Morning

5.7 here
xx
 
Morning. 5.6 for me this morning.
Monday.....start of another busy week....yaaaawwwwnnnn.
Have a good day
 
Morning folks. :D 6.2 here.

Well, it’s my first day back at uni...this distance learning lark isn’t exactly sociable, but I’m thankful for it under the current circumstances! Mind you, I need a team of cheerleaders to boost my enthusiasm this morning. 😳😉

Morning all, 5.1 here.
Good luck with that, @khskel. When I had my hospital review by phone back in June, I was told vaguely 'morning' which turned out to be 7.30pm!
I expect @pottersusan could get competitive with you on that, @eggyg.

Oh definitely! She doesn’t have a stomach either! I’m hanging on to my other bits for as long as I can! 😱

I just remembered what it was - Dick Barton - Special Agent - which Google tells me ended in 1951 - so I was a couple of years out.

He relocated to West Cross in Swansea and opened a chippy called, wait for it, Dick Barton’s. Special fish n chip agent, is what we used to say as kids - we thought it was hilarious!o_O
 
4.2 for me today. :D
