What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Well I spoke too soon. Just after my latest post about restricted visits to mum's nursing home they rang me to say that they are now in lock down. So no visits for Mother's day. We can drop off pressies/ card and other supplies at the door but mum will not understand who they are from.:( It's the right thing to do as the residents are really vulnerable. I will still be ringing every day to ask how mum is but it is not the same as seeing her, holding her hand and giving her a reassuring hug.:bigtears:

You're right, it's not the same.

I live in a senior apartment building and am torn between being glad our management has closed the building to all nonessential visitors, and being sad that people cannot see their own loved ones. After all, "essential" has different meanings in different cases.

Sorry to hear that it must be hard for you but maybe your mum will cope better because of the nature of the illness.. So many in difficult circumstances and they do sound l8e a very caring home.

I'm sorry it's happening to you too.

Thank you. We are fine and progress is slow but we have a better pain management plan in place. The physio exercises 3 times a day and personal care makes the day go by fast.
We had a couple of blips when friend’s glasses shed an arm due to lost screw but Mr PM saved the day by finding old redundant glasses of his and managed to replace it. Then she realised she was running shoet of essential meds but after many calls we managed to get her surgery to agree to send electronic prescription to mine so should be able to collect tomorrow.
 
Penguins would like that.....lol. Would popey

Just keeping a close eye on her as we near the end of the week, if it's old matey day 7 -8 seems to be the turning point,. So hopefully she is good and all cleared up by then.

Here is the original post.
I am getting the same with missing posts. They appear and disappear at random.
I suggest the Internet may be overloaded at the moment, because of a vastly increased demand on it in this crisis, and consequently pages are only partially loading. Maybe that is it?
Hugs
Take care

Yes, you may be right. Several websites are being very slow to load this week; I assume the Wi-Fi is being overloaded with so many people working at home.

Not easy as we are finding with MIL but not surprising, at least you know that she is in good hands. Take care.

You must repeat the experiment - get another two creme eggs. For one, pretend to fall asleep and see what happens. For the second, rejoice in knowing that you will be able to eat at least one of the two. Good luck, photo’s of cat devouring creme egg expected within the next 24 hrs.
 
I don't know why I've been so obsessed with buying the perfect mattress, since whatever I buy will end up looking like this one (as my mornings already do). I'm just glad I got rid of my baseball bat. :D
