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

[UserABC2021]

Ouch for that 14, but sorry I had a slight chuckle for the battered appendix, I can see the whole episode unfurling before my eyes. However I truly hope the damage is not serious and nobody was in hearing distance.

I’m surprised you didn’t hear me as you are ‘only’ on the other side of the city. No lasting damage and I shall do a quick cut of the lawns in a while

That sounds like it was really painful. Hope the pain levels have gone down today.

The pain has gone, good old fashioned arnica and some witch hazel sorted it out.

So pleased to hear that the pain is gone.
I agree that you cannot beat Arnica for an injury. I started using it 15 years ago after a RTA involving a White Van when I was riding my bicycle. After the accident we were on holiday in the Loire Valley and I needed painkillers so went to a French Pharmacy. When I requested painkillers the Pharmacist said that Arnica was much more effective - and he was right, it was,

A good one, I like this digital drawing and that gold is spot on for dappled light, brilliant.

Thanks @Muddy Cyclist

Would they be the swines we call Clegs in Cumbria? People have died from Cleg bites!

I think you may be referring to Horseflies they are nasty little blighters.

Woke early 5.30ish for bathroom call. Didn't manage to go straight back to sleep and could feel the DP happening before I did drift off.
Hour after breakfast was 6.2.

My daily painting challenge was to use the Procreate quick sketch I did a couple of days ago. And to create a gentle misty ethereal scene.

Did that happen? No. Because between the layers I put an all black layer, and used the rubber tool on the painting above. I am having fun...

So, instead here is a more dramatic painting...

Looks like a vision of a near death experience and one should keep running for the light!

Never had so many bites and still have the marks 6 weeks later they itched for weeks

The duchess got bitten a few years ago hanging out the clothes.
It lasted a few months.

I reckon if I could see a cleg on a cow's backside the other side of the Solway, that would be the birding scope I should buy!

That is good @HarryBeau

BTW gennepher,
It is the shortage of GP's in particular areas that led to your problem.

When proceedings are being nurse led there is a number available for them to refer to a doctor.
Some doctors do not consider it safe practice.

I most certainly do not consider it a safe practice from my experience with it. It went wrong, she didn't have the physical back up of a doctor on site, she went to pieces. I cannot forget her collapsing on the floor hyperventilating @lindisfel As well as other aspects of it that I cannot forget.

I am currently, or rather a friend is for me, because it has stressed me too much, writing several letters (emails) for me, which are going to various places tomorrow. I am awaiting the last and final drafts (hopefully) for my perusal either tonight or in the morning.

Today is proving to be less stressful than yesterday. I mentioned in the first class today that I was having problems reading the register and lesson plan through my face shield. A class member said that it might help if I took the protective plastic layer off. It definitely did.

The class thought it was hilarious but apparently I was not the only person this had happened to.

Perhaps a letter to your MP may help?
The Conservatives promised 24/7 GP cover,
it was just words! It never was possible with the funding for the last decade
