Group 7-day waking average?

Hi everyone🙂

Just a flying visit. Woke up on 6.8 this morning which went up to 9 after the struggle to straighten my legs out with a touch of low carb CBD. Fell over in the kitchen this afternoon doing an optimistic turn without sticks. Minor bruising only, so no bother. Lesson learned.:confused:

I’ve found a consultant at Preston who’s special interest is peripheral neuropathy. Trouble is, NHS England doesn’t (at least around here) allow direct referral to specific consultants, so I’ll try and tee up a private consultation to gain entry to the multi talented support team he boasts of on the NHS.

Don’t mind the money, got a 2.4% rise in pension this year, as I found out today. ( Wondered where all the money was coming from.🙄 ) Why is it I can get cost of living rises, plus rises in PIP, but social security benefits have been capped at 2015 levels? Is it any wonder we have food Banks? And nurses in England are way behind what they were paid in real terms in 2010. Meanwhile, bosses are paid more and more. We are now the most unequal country in Europe, though not as bad as America. Yet.

Anyway, I’ll disappear again, with occasional visits for a time while I sort out all sorts of stuff.

See you again soon🙂
 
Evening all. Bringing up the rear as usual. 7.5 @ 7.02am. Shame it went to 10.3 later on...ffs (for frilly heck sake Imeantersay...honest). 😱

Could have been tinned tomatoes or maybe an instant coffee with three little containers of semiskimmed milk at the hospital canteen. They don't do cream. 😡

That cat is a hoot! :D
 
04:01 BS 5.0. :D

Yesterday was another lovely day which I spent in the conservatory reading the latest Lady Hardcastle mystery. Set in the Edwardian era, 1909, in an english village starring, the eponymous, Lady Hardcastle & her maid, former foreign office secret service agents who retired to the countryside for a quiet life: NOT! By T. E. Kinsey & enormously FUN to read! If you loved Miss Fisher; you’ll love this too!😛:D😎 This is the 5th. full book now, Christmas at the Grange being a short novella, The Burning Issue of the Day is about a suffragette wrongly accused of murder in an arson attack, which she cops to not knowing there was a dead body in the building too! Can Lady Hardcastle & her multi talented maid Armstrong save her from being hung for murder?🙄 I highly recommend this series along with the audiobooks, which are brilliantly acted; not just read aloud!😛

Another cool night because of the lack of cloud cover & I’ve already sipped, now finished, a very rare, for me, cup of coffee, being a tea person, while I’m waiting for brekkie in the oven: beans on toast with no butter; low fat diet due to liver problems!

An earlier, than usual, Good Morning to you all & tomorrow is the start of the Bank Holiday weekend! 🙂

Edited to correct lots of typos!😱 It’s probably why I felt I needed coffee this morning: good thing nobody else was up to read the original post & scratching their heads; “what is she going on about here?” 😳:D🙄😉

Good morning 🙂 7.0 for me today 🙂 Tour de Yorkshire coming through town today, will nip down in the morning to see the women's race and the men's race this afternoon - hope the rain holds off, although it's looking decidedly damp out there currently and they had a shocking day yesterday between Doncaster and Selby 😱
 
Good morning. Dragged my body out of bed. Have to be out by 0815.

5.7 for me.
Have a good day all
 
11.6 this morning, not bad considering the steroid disruption.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and the sun shines :D
 
Morning all. 6.8 for me, a bit higher than of late.

Just checked latest HbA1c on line. It was 41 which compares with the 88 in December. Reduction almost entirely due to low carb diet with routine monitoring to check on cause and effect to cut out problematic foods. Many thanks to forum members who pointed me in the right direction. Also, it is a good job I am a pragmatic rather than a faddy eater!

Appologies, I know the poor thing has been through a terrible time, but I'm just glad I'm not having to try to get him to take his meds! I hope he is on the mend.

yeah folk don't believe me when I say he's an absolute nightmare but if they'd hard him growling and seen him baring his teeth and swiping on Saturday they wouldn't be so keen! He's in until at least Saturday so we had to take his meds and food up last night but he's keeping the lampshade on in his cage so is better for him xx
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.8 here.😛

Thanks for the “good luck” wishes @Northerner and @AJLang. :D Looks like I’m doing a masters is Bilingualism then - yippee! My best friend pointed out that smaller unis are desperate for students and their attitude is “You got a pulse? You’ve got a place!” hahaha. Cheeky cow!🙄
