Ah man! What an absolute monster of a time you've been having Ted :(

Really hope you can get a CGM in place to help with your hypo unawareness and recover from your accident and infection really really speedily. You really have had it rough these last few months and deserve all the breaks going.

Take care, and know that we are thinking of you and wishing you well.
 
So pleased to see you back online here Ted. I was really starting to worry and it sounds like I was right to! You must surely be due a spell of better luck with your health for at least the next 10 years after this. Keep plodding along the path to recovery and look forward to reading of some new fun exploits in the near future, when you are fit enough, like riding donkeys again and preferably not falling off them! ... and less of the scary dramas please. XX
 
Thankyou all my friends, I know I`m home now, I`ve got my wonderful virtual family to talk to. I must admit its been a roller coaster year so far but hey ho what the heck, I`m still alive from the neck down, maybe.:D There`s far worse than me including many members on the forum, one way or another we all have problems we have to deal with and if you don`t deal with it and be positive you will just get worse. So a big thankyou to the NHS and a grateful thankyou to a wonderful forum, take care my friends love to all of you.xxx
 
Oh sh*t, went for my 3 month feet review, Podiatrist wasn`t happy, what`s new.🙄 I have too have insoles made and fitted plus special shoes made.😎 At least I don`t have to pay anymore,🙂 I did offer but she was quite adamant no need. So its down from three months to six weeks and I was going too give up boozing this weekend, no chance, good ole Lidl`s.:D Take care my friends, enjoy it while you got it.
 
Oh dear Ted what a rotten time you are having. You deserve a medal for being so upbeat and although I agree with you that we have to get on with it, you never seem to moan at least not on here. You are an example for us all when we moan about the little things. Take good care Ted, although I have only been on the forum for 9 months it is obvious how highly thought of you are and with good reason. Much love to you. Sue xx
 
Hope the insoles work out well Ted. Are you having discomfort with your feet?
 
Thanks Sue and Mike, yes feet and calf muscles are very painful 24/7. While I`m walking its not so bad its when I stop and sit down, it feels like being stabbed with a 100 injections in both feet at the same time. Plus the usual electric shocks and tingly bits, fun isn`t it.:D My right foot is at high risk of Charcot foot so that may turn into a real issue eventually,🙄 but hey the suns shining, radio is playing, football is on at 12:30, I`ll have a pint in my hand, what more can I want?🙂 just knowing I have access to all you lovely people when I get home, keeps me motivated, take care.xxx🙂

I agree Ted please get help if you need to, don’t be overly brave. Hugs to you and take good care xx

Looking forward to hearing from you this morning Ted.
I hope that you got some sleep.
 
Och Ted, hope today is a better day. Take care {hugs}
 
Lots of hugs Ted xx How are you this morning?
 
Good morning my dear friends, feeling much better this morning thankyou all for your concerns.🙂 There are pull chord alarms in every room and a personal panic alarm hanging around my neck, so lots of help available. My 80year old neighbour Sally just popped in to see how I am, she kept looking at my feet as we are talking. After a while I thought I better look out of curiosity and there it is, big right toe is sunbathing all on its own after worming its way through said sock.😱:D Well must get ready for my daily walk may/will pop into a watering hole on the way around, take care you good people speak with you later.xxx
