Haven't eaten any meals today so far. Just feeling too sore and ill to do any thing but sit in my chair (feeling sorry for myself). I did warn Neil that I would need the wheelchair to ferry me out to the car but when it came to it, I realised that I could manage just with olne stick (a bit shaky but at least I didn't have to use my really painful left arm). The builders arrived just before we were due to go out to fit the solar panels and connect up the electrical bits and pieces. All their boxes of equipment would have been in the way of the wheelchair, so using it wasn't practical. We left them to it and by the time we came back, they were almost finished.
For once, this time, I actually went round the supermarket (Co-Op which has been refurbished since I was there last) using one of those trolleys that connect to wheelchairs. Shan't be doing that again in a hurry because the wheels on the trolley kept jamming aganst the wheels of the chair. Made hard work of it for both of us. Interesting to see the new shop though.
Haven't done anything since getting back other than taking my pills and drinnking some water. I did, then, fall ff the wagon. My stomach was feeling very upset and I was feeling pretty ill and I decided that what I needed was some carbohydrate. The only things available were some ginger nut biscuits and some KitKat biscuits. Ginger, I thought, would fill the bill nicely.. Put my BG up something shocking! I do feel a bit better though. I will make some scrambled eggs sometime soon to capitalise on that.
The workmen have gone and our solar panels are actually feeding back into the grid! We didn't realise they would do that but the electric meter is going backwards at the moment.
PS bought some Full cream UHT milk in the Co-op to make yoghurt. I do have some already, but it is stored in a box somewhere and I can't reach it until Neil restores the larder. I have a vacuum pot for making it but I may need to heat the milk a bit to get the action going.
