Well forgot to test this morning, and left my kit at home

Had to leave home at 7 to make a 2 and a half bus journey to a wee cottage hospital for my appt with the neurology
Consultant.

Fingers crossed it is not going to be as awful as I fear

Grr! So annoying when companies do that :( The first company I worked for was a pleasant ten-minute walk from my house, then they moved across town which involved two bus journeys/over an hour travelling, although I did usually run home which took about half an hour 🙂 Then they moved again to another town that involved an hour's bus journey on the way there (with only ONE bus that would get me to work in time), and coming back I used to run to the tram stop, ride the tram for about half an hour, then have to get off and run the last 2 miles home! 😱 :( I stuck it out for about a year then got another job! 🙂

I hope you feel much better soon and have a more pleasant, swift journey in 🙂

I feel bad now for having a moan, as at least I go by car, although Monday when I was stuck for an hour and a half, I thought I could have got the train and been here quicker, as I am 20 mins walk from the station, Dagenham Dock station is only 3 stops away on the train, then about 30 mins walk to office from there. But as least I am in the warm and dry singing along to the radio. Just a shame as although my old office was 30 mins drive away I was going in the opposite direction to most of the traffic on back roads, and our office was in a lovely location on the edge of a town, but near the country park that I would walk around in my lunch break, but the building got sold to be turned into housing stock. Oh well I think this is called progress.

@ Hazel - I hope the appointment goes well and you are not too tired after that journey to and from the hospital.
 
Thanks everyone, she was lovely.

Lots of tests, very unsteady on my feet, tests showed a very slight weakness on my left side.

Referred for MRI and CT head scans.
These will take up to 3 months and back to see her in June 2020.

MRI to show blood clots, signs of TIAs

CT to show sinus issues.

I suppose I did not expect any full answers today.

Really all she said was she thinks there is more than one issue. Hayho
 
Love and hugs Hazel. I hope the scans don’t show anything worrying but it’s horrible while you wait for the results. I’m really glad that your neurologist is lovely xx
 
@Hazel . I hope the tests show n9thung untoward.
 
Good morning folks. 6.7. Going by the graph I have been on a slow downward slope since my pre bed 9.4
 
6.1 for me this morning making it a weekly average of 6.8 for the last seven days
 
Good morning it’s a 4.8 today. 🙂

Good morning 🙂 5.1 for me today, sooo close! But look - can I have a double gold star and a special hat for a 90-day waking House Special? 😱 :D

Excellent 90 day HS work @Northerner 😎 your request for additional gold stars and special hat will need to be referred to the Diabetes Fairy for special approval. Don’t hold your breath...😉🙂
 
Good morning 🙂

4.9 at 6am going to 5.0 at 6:45am, don't know how as I've barely slept, who in their right mind winds an under 3 year old up and allows them to run around the house until after 11pm! Especially when they have downstairs neighbours, absolutely no consideration or respect for people and I'm thoroughly sick fed up of it, to top it off the couple across the back shut the dog out in the garden again so that was barking as per 😡

End of rant, have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all, -4.2 on our outside thermometer. A surprising 6.1 after yesterday’s antics ( see separate thread). Today I will mostly be sitting in my PJs eating codeine. Have a sunny and sparkly Saturday everyone. @Ralph-YK and @KARNAK thought I was going to be joining you in a hospital this morning. Hope you’re both improving.

Thanks my lovely, I generally do my butt (well my mum does since my "incident" doing it myself there) but she's got a late evening Christmas meal thing in a couple of weeks for her work so don't want her to rush it just to get home to do my basal so I'll just do it in my thigh I think 🙂 xx

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 10.0 this morning,

Very frosting and icy on Oscar walk so doing a cycling re-route on dockside roads - giving it another hour then off I go
 
Good morning all, a bitterly.cold, sunny start today, -5

5.4 for me.

Could do with staying in, but will need to brace myself for a trip to the shops.

Enjoy your weekend people
