How’s the prisoner doing today? I hope you have good books to hand or a telly with dvd player to watch stuff you like as daytime tv is SO abysmal! 😱

Hope you’re not TOO bored @AJLang 🙄

Thank you for asking Lanny. I've got loads I can do because I can also get to my craft room but I keep finding it so difficult to get comfortable whether in bed or at my craft table and I am getting a bit bored. But being positive I have got Netflix, ITV Hub and BBC Iplayer on my Ipad and laptop, loads of books to read on my Kindle, my radio with Radio 2 and my date at 10.30 with Popmaster, online magazines, sewing kits, pompoms to make, knitting, colouring books etc etc. I couldn't ask for more....well apart from being able to take off this stoopid orthopaedic boot, and Mark takes that off for me in the evenings when I'm settled downstairs. I am feeling very guilty that Mark is having to run round after me before he goes to work but nothing that I can do about that.
However I've been doing lots of reading of NHS sites and it seems that I might be able to do some walking with the boot and my stick outside of the house on Friday/at the weekend when Mark is at home, not a lot of walking but it will be nice to get out.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke on 7.3, after a dead straight line overnight, so no real worries. Bit late reporting because of a bit of a lie in. Stiff as a plank waking up, mind - needed a dose of CBD to get out of bed and straighten my legs. It’s not a problem if I can fix it.🙂

Had a phone call from occupational therapy this morning. They are coming round next Tuesday afternoon (OT and a physiotherapist) to assess what needs to done to improve the barely adequate kit around the place, specially the bathroom. Don’t think physiotherapy will improve me any.:confused:

There’s a test match starting today. Well, I say starting, but it’s p*****g down in London today - raining here too, as well, so a day inside I think. Not a big deal, I can make progress into year 3 of Grim Fandango, one of my favourite ever games, even if it is around 20 years old, but fettled for modern computers. And make further progress through book 2 of the Wheel of Time series. No rush, it is in pre production by Amazon Prime at the moment, and should start next year.🙂

Daughter had a scan yesterday, so I’m going to be granddad to a baby girl round Christmas. I like baby girls, they don’t wee in your face when you’re changing nappies.:D

Have a good day folks, OK, it’s raining and miserable, but it will get better. Or worse.:confused:🙂

Congratulations! Baby boys can be useful, though. When I was about to be discharged from the GP unit with my son, a young whippersnapper locum arrived to sign us off and insisted on waking my baby up to check his hips. (now, this had already been done once at the main hospital, again by the cottage hospital midwife, and a third time by my usual GP)
Baby hadn’t been feeding well, and I was exhausted, and I had just got him off to sleep and gone for a bath. So I was summoned from the bathroom to see the GP, who removed my son's nappy, and promptly got a face full of wee.
Seemed poetic justice to me. I bet he didn’t do that again! :D
 
5.4 for me this morning. I say this morning, it was quite late by the time I woke up and tested. Been spending a lot of time just hiding in bed this week

Congratulations Grandad. As a mother and grandmother of three daughters, three granddaughters and one grandson I know what you mean. It was a shock to the system, the high rise seeing! Of course we adore him and we tell him he’s special amongst all those girls. Plus Gaga Eggy gets to watch Dr Who, Thunderbirds and various Marvel Comic Hero type films now! :D

Congratulations Mikey,
 
7.5 this morning still have this awful virus, wanting to get back to work but only managed a few hours out of bed this morning. Really frustrated now can't run either, but getting back to work is the priority.
Hope you are feeling better very soon Lorraine {{{HUGS}}}

06:22 BS 6.5. Ok with that! 🙂 Very consistently in the 6’s these days. Colder last night & in my sleep I was aware of myself heavy breathing away: not wheezing exactly but, puffing away like a steam train! The breathing thing is stubbornly not shifting much! 😱🙄 Just have to keep up the inhalers routine! 🙄

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 🙂 Need to keep warm again today so, wrap up folks! 🙂
 
Morning Folks,

Reporting a 9.0 reading this morning.

Ate later last night as at golf club which meant I injected later than usual too and it gets me my lowest wakening read this week.

Normal tea/ injection time tonight so will see what happens in the morning.
 
Morning. 6.5 on the Libre whilst still in bed. 6.7 when I got downstairs and exactly the same on my meter. Injected 3 units of bolus for one slice of Burgen, half an hour later 7.2! 😱 Not much happening in the Eggy household today, granddaughter number one coming later for a sleepover and we may go out for pizza. Otherwise a pretty normal, boring day. Hope yours is more exciting! 😉
