Teds Not well

[rebrascora]

Morning Ted. Hope you have another good day today. I was so worried when you said you were not good the other day and then so relieved yesterday to hear that things were better. The sunshine and warmth certainly help, when you can get out and enjoy the fresh air. So pleased to read you have a good set up for getting help if you need it. Hopefully you will have a long spell now when that support system is relatively redundant. Keep smiling and taking the pills and washing them down with a bit of amber nectar. Have fun but do take care too. X

Hi Barbara, all went well until early afternoon, bowels decided they wanted too disown me.😱Had to get a taxi back to my apartment then had too get Dyno-Rod out to fix the loo. Been in bed ever since, thought I better stir for a while, grub is not on the menu tonight.🙄 I know sh*t happens but this is getting beyond a joke, not good at the moment, off to my second week of carb counting tomorrow DSN and big D specialist will be there, a word in ones ear may be fruitful.🙂 take care sweetheart and have a peaceful night, along with the rest of my dear friends.xxx

Yes lovely day @SB2015, spent an hour on the beach too after my walk, lots of fresh sea food available.🙂 Hope you all had a wonderful day also, had a couple of hours kip this evening so wide awake at the moment, playing my Greek music at the moment🙂 just too relax .Take care my wonderful friends sleep well tonight, love to you all.xxx

Take care

Oh dear Ted! Bowels playing up is probably one of the most unpleasant things to deal with especially when you are away from home. Did you ask Dyno-Rod to fix you while they were on?? Hope you are feeling better after a rest. At least you were able to enjoy the morning. Half a day is better than none! I have had a really good day today despite starting with a headache and a BG of 3.6. Glorious sunshine here this afternoon and I am busy riddling/grading a huge pile of road planings that have been sitting blocking my drive for the past year and a half wating to get to the top of my "to do" list. Sometimes a few hours of tedious manual labour is good for the soul, especially when the sun is shining. I also jogged along to my doc's surgery for the second time in 2 days this morning to deliver a urine sample for my DAPNE pre=assessment appt. next week, so I have definitely had my exercise for the day.
Hope you are able to update us later with news that you are feeling better. In the meantime, sending hugs.... beware they are sweaty ones though! 😱

Hello Barbara a bit early in the day/night but thanks for the reply.🙂 I`ve been on my TIFA course today, Torbay`s equivalent of DAFNE, had a wonderful time this afternoon. 😎 Got the bus back to Paignton, also got that familiar feeling after taking CREON, whilst on board, needed too find a loo asap. Got off and managed too make it to Witherspoons, relief isn`t the word for it, ahhh, bought myself a pint only £2.29 today, so got my course work out read up on carbs etc. People on the next table where curious so got involved in a discussion about the big D and carb counting, a few more amber nectars found its way down said persons throat, me. It got a bit too late to cook, so I thought I would give the carb counting a go, got fish chips &mushy peas first time since I was DX, the chippy owner was Greek so we managed to have a conversation whilst waiting, his English wasn't very good probably a bit like my Greek🙄 but converse we did in Greek. I guessed the amount of carbs and injected 12 units of NR 5.8 before eating, got home and ate the grub plus another can of lager,😉 tested 2 hours later 6.9, 4 hours later 7.6, not bad for a guess.🙂 I hope you enjoy your DAFNE course as much as I am enjoying my course, great to meet like minded people and HCP`s in a more friendly environment, take care Barbara and all my wonderful friends.xxx

Good estimate of the carbs. A perfect student, who will deserve a big gold star at the next class.
Well done

Wow Ted! You do like living on the edge!! I would never dare inject that much bolus insulin.... 5units is the most I have jabbed at one go and only because I was high (over 10) to start with. I have to say I am really impressed with your guestimate and result on that. I thought I was being brave last night by stopping at a KFC on the way back from a meeting and having a Zinger chicken salad. I bolussed 3 units as it arrived at the table not realising that it came with half the box full of rice.... I was very annoyed at that as I didn't want extra carbs.... anyway I ate the chicken and salad with 3 forkfuls of rice (about a tenth of what was in the box) and brought the rest home for my chickens. At bedtime 1hr 50 mins later I was 15.3!! Wondering if they gave me a full fat Pepsi instead of a Pepsi Max as surely a bit of batter and that tiny bit of rice couldn't take me that high! It will be a while before I eat out again. Needless to say, I am in need of that DAPNE course to improve my carb assessment. So pleased that you are finding your course enjoyable and helpful.
Also very impressed that you conversed with the chippy owner in Greek! I need a lot more than a few pints to engage in a foreign language attempt... German is my choice of 2nd language but haven't practiced it in many years and I think the last time may have been when I was plied with Ouzo by a Greek policeman at the European Police Ski Championships a lifetime ago!!

Hi Ted.not checked in with you for a few days as been doing house clearance. [came home early as very tired & in-law turned up late then said he was visiting a friend for a couple of hours so I went on strike this afternoon ha ha!) finally got to read your thread. Glad you enjoyed fish & chips! Also that neighbour looks in on you. Take care of yourself & I’ll try & keep up once this house is cleared

 

[KARNAK]

Hello my dear Sally, good for you for going on strike,🙂 a night in for me tonight. Dark and blowy outside but still 23.C on the gauge, don`t knock yourself out over the house, I`ve still got unopened boxes from two and a half years ago laying dormant, I don`t need anything else so I will probably end up pushing them off of Paignton pier and @eggyg can open them in France. Take care love to you and keep in touch.xxx

Bother.
Have you got a bit target marked in your front door?
Everything seems to be heading for you.

Hello @SB2015 d lots of directions home, all got Teds Place on the signs through Paignton, Brixham, Torquay and hospital. Laid down this afternoon and had two hours with Celine Dion and Steve Wright on the Radio,🙂 hope you are ok as well as other friends on the forum? 🙂

 

[KARNAK]

Well its Tchooseday, feet are very painful (Neuropathy), plus it seems like I have a problem with my mouth under the right side of my tongue. Right side of my mouth is swollen, speaking with the DSN she is pretty sure a thyroid problem has developed, appointment on Monday, plays havoc with BGL`s. Hope you are all coping well, doing a bit of cooking tonight whilst playing music (Greek), been looking through the Group Seven day Average, not posted until |Sunday, just catching up.🙂 Take care my friends, speak with you later.🙂

Hi Ted
Good to hear from you but sorry your feet are giving you Gyp and you may have another health issue developing with your thyroid.... so not what you need! Hope you are cooking yourself a treat tonight?? What are you washing it down with? I used to have "cooking" nights when I would crack open a bottle of wine and then happily throw a whole load of different ingredients together and end up with a fabulous meal that I had no chance of ever recreating because I was too sozzled to remember what had gone into it. I would also text my friends and tell them I was "cooking" and they would always be keen to try the leftovers when I saw them.
Just starting to realise/wonder if you have Greek heritage? .....Speaking Greek to the chippy owner.... playing Greek music and your Avatar is a Greek temple..... am I just very slow on the uptake....doh!
Hope you have a relaxing evening and a nice meal and tomorrow is a more comfortable day. X

 

[rebrascora]

Hi Ted, how are you doing today? I have oiled the cogs with a few rum and cokes this afternoon and feeling a whole lot better for it. Hope things are going better for you. X

 

[rebrascora]

Hi Ted
How are things? You haven't been online for a week by the look of things and that is pretty concerning considering your recent problems. Please update us when you can. Sending more hugs.
