Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A pleasant enough 6.4. Dry day so far but who knows what later on will bring. Wedding flower chosing this afternoon, just over six weeks to our daughter’s wedding and the nerves are kicking in, mine, not hers, she’s as cool as a cucumber! Have a tremendous Tuesday. 🙂
 
Good morning up here on a 10.3 spent most of yesterday in the 13’s even with corrections. 🙄

Appointment was very difficult, no new bone growth in 3 years, fractures just as they were, surgeon told me to let him know when I could cope with amputation. Got a new plaster cast and a scrambled head. Off to look after my Mum for a week so a train ride will do me good. Thank you for all the kind messages, you all help me so much x

I hope things went as well as they possibly could for you @SueEK 🙂

Have the best day you can 🙂

So very sorry to hear this, what an awful dilemma for you. You have certainly had and continue to have such trials with your foot. I truly feel for you. Much love xx
 
10.5 this morning. I was just looking at the notes I do my basal has gone up by nearly 10 in less than a month to a whopping 44. It was 26 eighteen months ago. But during the past six weeks it has had to be increased then reduced at least 2 or 3 times but never anywhere near this high before. My weight hasn’t changed in the last 18 months. I did wonder about double diabetes but my ratios have stayed the same. Plus the amitriptylene has increased from 10 to 40 a day and I’ve had to substantially increase my basal since I started HRT last Saturday. Plus the gastroparesis has been becoming more difficult so those three things are probably the culprits.. I’m glad I can work out how to change different basal by myself because I don’t think the DSN would know where to start with me. Determined to get my 7 day average back down to 7.5 or lower by this time next with minimal hypos and corrections. I like a challenge!
 
5.7 this morning.
Mostly brown leaves on the trees now :(
One big wind and they'll all be gone till next year. 😱
 
@SueEK. How are you . I hope it went well yesterday .

Thanks Lin, sadly a waste of time yesterday. Got there and told I had been booked in with registrar who would not do it as my notes said only the consultant to do it and he was in theatre. 52 mile round trip but I guess mistakes happen 😱😱

Oh, how very annoying. Still as you generously say mistakes do happen. Perhaps the consultant was delayed in theatre because of difficult circumstances. Kind of you to understand.

So sorry to hear the news wasn't more positive for you @Flower :( I hope your week with your Mum goes well 🙂
 
Good morning 6.1 on a mixed sky but still 20.C.🙂 Neighbours ringing the door bell this morning checking to see if I was ok, bedroom curtains wasn`t opened until 10:10hrs they get worried if I`m not up and about, good neighbours.🙂

Hope you have a good week with Mum @Flower, devastating news about your foot, take some {{{HUGS}}} on the train with you.🙂

@SueEK the same thing happened to me earlier in the year but I only had to travel 5 miles each way, lets hope your new appointment will be more fruitful.🙄

Take care folks, enjoy your day.🙂
