Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.4 here. Rant alert. Just had a phone call from BT text delivery service only it was blank. Assume it’s to say my libre sensors are being delivered at some point today. (though abbott have my mobile number, so why they gave my landline out instead, i’ve no idea) They were dispatched by Abbott on Friday on a 24hr service. It’s now Tuesday, and i’m going to be out. On line tracker just says ‘being prepared for delivery, SMS sent’ There is no facility for rearranging delivery day. Well done Parcel Farce, i can see a trip to the sorting office in the next town coming on!

Grrrr!!!! :(
 
Morning all on this snowy/ sleety morning.7.2 today. Went to the torture chamber AKA osteopath yesterday re my back troubles, she thinks it’s more than likely my hip which is the problem. It has been bothersome for a while now TBF. Arthritic hip she said, oh the joys of getting old. She did all sorts of painful tests, femoral tests, had my knees and ankles hit with a hammer and as my spine was compressed so she did some awful manoeuvre and there was a loud crack and some relief was achieved. I have to ice the offending bit of my back to get the inflammation down and it will hurt for a day or two ( it does but not as bad) and go back next Monday if I am still getting pain in my hip and thigh. Daytime telly again! :( Stay safe everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Back in the groove. Went to bed on 6.1, woke up with 5.6. Textbook stuff. No sneaky rises or dips in the night. Weetime I was 7.1.

As you can see, I got down into the village yesterday to get some more Tee2 strips, £13 for 50. I also ordered a prescription for some as well. It’s all part of the plot to get my testing up to 8 times a day so I can get my sensors prescribed.😎 That is NOT stockpiling, I’m not paranoid.

It’s a bit dreich here. That’s a good Scottish word that means grey, drizzly and cold, for future reference. Saves typing🙄

Anyway, have a good day, gang, January is nearly over, so chin up🙂

I always used to go to an osteopath for back and neck problems. I don’t know how they do it, but there’s always a loud crack. First time, I thought I would be paraplegic after that, but I always walked out feeling better, as he would then treat my back with acupuncture needles. Endorphins +++. Ace stuff, they should do acupuncture on the NHS.🙂
 
Just recovered from a 4.5 hypo! My body’s more used to high 20’s, which is what I was last night. Not sure why I’m plummeting overnight and off for chemo this afternoon so feel like it’s all going on but at least IV steroids should keep me in a good range.
Hope your back recovers well @eggyg

I knew I wasn’t paralysed as I nearly fell off the bed! My usual guy wasn’t available yesterday and he does acupuncture on me, it’s marvellous. The osteopath I had yesterday doesn’t do it as she is needle phobic! In agony at the moment, still in PJs!

I like reading “ gruesome” but not so keen on watching! Have watched Homes under the Hammer, where’s Lucy? Wanted: Down Under and now onto Caught Red Handed! What a load of c**p but haven’t the energy or inclination to turn over. I’m not good at doing nothing.:(

Ha! No chance. Came in and saw the little card through the door. Luckily it’s been left at our local post office, which is only just down the road, only I can't collect it til they email me to tell me it’s there, apparently. (I bet it’s there now, if I were him, I’d have dropped it off as I passed)

Oh lovely I know the feeling, I watched wall to wall Four in a Bed when I first came home from hospital, it was all my drug addled little brain could cope with. Chin up, Neighbours soon
 
Good day 5.6 on a fairly cold wet day. Went to podiatrist yesterday both big toe nails have now departed to the great big toes in the sky.🙂 Bad Hypo on Sunday evening ended up face down in a pool of blood from nose, carpet is ruined.:( Panic alarm & Paramedics sorted me out, they wanted to take me to hospital as my body temperature was low but I declined I think they have enough to contend with.🙄

Stay loose @eggyg sorry you`re in pain.

Try and have a good day folks.🙂
 
The carpet cleaner has just been will be here on Saturday, reckons he can fix it. Was just looking for a dead body with so much blood, I said you`re looking at it.😱:D
Fanx Mike, hope your lift still works.😳

Oh heck.
Hopefully you are your fully recovered now, though I guess you must have some spectacular bruising. I trust the carpet cleaner can shift the stain.
