OOOH Phil, that sounds really painful. Hope the osteo can do something for you and you feel better soon.

Get Well soon!
 
Thanks guy's.
 
Hello. Still popping by occasionally, just struggling abit with headaches on the vdu after the latest round of laser (theatre job) on monday. Not a fun experience & not one I want to repeat - sadly think I will have to tho due to eye casualty's not bothering (correction, REFUSING - it was all of 15 seconds after closing time for them, 4.30!!!) to treat the last time I presented with a bleed. After horrible theatre laser on monday the doc announced she'd probably have to do more as she couldn't see the bit she needed to due to all the blood in the eye (leaving me wondering what the point was of allt he lsering she'd just done - hope it wasn't just lasering for the sake of it!!!). Sory, just feeling a bit sorry for myself at the mo& thoroughly lost faith with the eye care part of my local nhs... oh & if one more sneering git says to me "oh, is your control very bad then?" in that patronising, judgemental tone of voice, I may just explode. Time to get a t shirt with "Yes I have retinopathy & NO my control's NOT bad!" on it I think lol...

Hope everyone's ok, Im off to lie down in a dark room... x
 
I'm sorry to hear this Twitchy, I do hope things settle for you soon so you don't have this constantly hanging over you. Take care, and pop in when you can, you know you are always welcome 🙂
 
Hi Twitchy I'm really sorry to hear about all of the problems you've had with your eyes. Lasering can be painful when it's straightforward so I think that you've been extremely brave having it done in the theatre. I completely understand your frustration at the assumption that complications are caused by bad control....I really hope that if you have anymore laser that it is completely successful with minimum discomfort

Hiya Steff

Thanks for asking after me. Yep am in lots of daily contact with Bev, really good friends now.

The CWD lot have decided we are going to evict everyone off the Isle of Wight and we are going to all move in. We will then have babysitters and friends who 'get it' and so on and so forth.

Sorry not been around. I'm just inundated with stuff going on, hardly go on fb either to be honest.

I will try and pop in more, I miss you guys.

Jessica is doing great. Growing very very very tall. She is 10 yet in age 14's for height. She doesn't get that from me.

I hope you are well, everyone actually I hope you are all well.

Take care
🙂
 
Lovely to hear from you hun glad Jess is doing well xx
 
'pops head in' im still around lol :D
 
Thanx paul n steffie 🙂
 
Hi
I'm still here but don't get much time to come on now as Alice takes up so much of my time. Everything is going well Alice is growing so quickly i can't believe shes nearly 6 months already. My diabetes was all over the place for the first few months after she was born but is settling back to normal finally. It was a huge learning curve how to manage breast feeding & diabetes but i managed to stick with it & i'm still bresat feeding & just starting weaning now. Alice is still the smallest baby in our group so it goes to show not all diabetics have big babies 😉. I'll keep poping in when i have time. And a huge thankyou to you all for your support during my pregnancy xxxx
