Those of you that didn't read the waking thread, Muggins here had a very numpty day yesterday!
05:55 BS 8.9 in bed before trip to bathroom! Woke with a sharp jolt of pain in my right temple. Both eyes, in bathroom mirror, were bloodshot & very red! Went back to bed & dozed off.
08:04 BS 10.4 after bathroom trip. Again woke up with a sharp jolt of pain in the right temple. Both eyes now a pink colour. Didn't want to eat but, BS is rising so, had usual breakfast dose of 6 units of Novorapid & an oatcake.
My right temple kept aching with intermittent sharp jolts of pain. Called "Doctor on Call" & only vaguely remembered, while speaking to doctor, that I'd injured my right eye this week. I'd just finished changing my bed & took the laundry basket out to the hall. I accidentally banged the corner wall with the basket, the basket rebounded & hit me in the right eye! It REALLY hurt at the time but, then forgot about it. Had to go 50 miles to Londonderry as the nearest Causeway Hospital doesn't have the equipment to check eyes! That was about 09:00. Around 10:00, while waiting for my brother to take me up to Londonderry, the outer corner of my right eye was bleeding that wasn't there at 08:00.
Doctor checked my eyes, reflexes & vision tests. My eyes, brain, reflexes, nerves & vision is fine! Eye is bruised after the previous bang & will recede. Pain & muddled thinking is from straining eyes when trying to think.
Got back home around 14:00/14:30. 4 units Novorapid, 29 units Levemir & all other meds Lunch:- 1 beef sandwich & bottled water. Went to bed.
Around 20:30? woke up feeling much better & eye bruise is already starting to get better. 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 1 bag steam veg rice birds eye, sticky BBQ chicken birds eye & bottled water. Slept again.
