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

[jjraak]

Thanks @krystyna. I have been really poorly. Not been this ill since we had real flu several years ago. In fact it's been worse.Mr. D is on the mend but I seem to be taking longer. Maybe because of the high blood sugars? Our last vaccines were in November so it is either a new variant or the effects have worn off. We were booked for flu and Covid boosters next month but the doctors have cancelled the appointments for both and remade them for November. I reckon with how ill I've been I will have built up some immunity anyway! Stay vigilant. Covid is still lurking! Best wishes.

Hug for the slow return for you
But a blessing Mr D is back to normal.

Reckon you're right about some immunity post covid
And if I recall when I had it, it was just before I should have had my 3rd jab, and I couldn't have that until a good numbers of days after. 30 rings a bell...mmh.

Its not lurking, it soon will be rampant again!

I'm due my covid autumn jab on 30th September. Usually Neil, my son who was one of those who had to be shielded, gets word before I do, but he hasn't heard anything yet. Maybe he's just been relegated to the "over 50s" and will be in the 2nd group.

Good morning all from a much brighter, weather wise, Breckedge. Today's theme seems to be above and beyond. Joining cats outside in the cold, dark and potentially hazardous garden. Buying and packing provisions for friends in the USA where their greenbacks must surely buy a whole lot more UK goods today after kamakaze Kwazi.. Demonstrating how not to move thereby self harming. Hugs for all concerned and for @Annb on the continual disturbed sleep patterns caused by pain and insulin corrections. Thanks for the kaleidoscope and video @gennepher. Your time spent developing youtube skills has really paid off so I gave that a like. @dunelm that piece is developing splendidly and hug for the therapeutic purpose. JKP, who seems to have reacted badly to the Moderna Bivalent jab, spent most of yesterday in bed after initially planning to be up and about. Fitbit numbers suggest my body has registered something amiss but not that bad. Slow day here today but The Lord hath chastened and corrected (severely in some versions) me but he hath not given me over unto death. (PS 118, v18) so some housework, steps and nursing for me. Hardly above and beyond but if one can't do great things do little things with great love.

Hugs for JKP

Thanks for the compliments @ianpspurs
I do enjoy working on the YouTube videos. But they do take up time...

You have a good day.

 

[Krystyna23040]

I hope you did the appropriate ow and aargh sounds as you demonstrated the incorrect movements @Krystyna23040

If I was demonstrating them now the ow and aargh sounds would frighten the whole neighbourhood.

A song many will have heard, but omg when bocelli joins in ....transformed

Wondered if lyrics below are the original in Italian, seems not.

Much more powerful I thought.

For you @gennepher I found this

I left original version as I thought it showed the respect from Sheeran, which seemed real & quite touching .

Brave indeed having seen the nighttime shenanigans from the trail cam..

How lovely midnight purring must have felt.

(Though I have read cats purring isn't always contentment)
..but in this case, surely it is.."look night critters, my forever mummy.."

But deffo jeans next + it'll be colder too .

Ghost cat must have got the word on the street, that you're making movies...

Obviously audition went poorly.

I see the Studio star & co-producer went over to tell em ..
"Nice audition, sweet cheeks,
but don't call us...we'll call you ....NEXT"

It's a hard knock life..

I think you are right @jjraak ..."look night critters, my forever mummy.."
Those were the vibes he was giving me...

He has been trying to get me to come outside during the night before now...but I was resisting....

Midnight is a hard taskmaster...

Covid is horrid and can take while to recover from. I do hope that you are on the mend now and feel a lot better very soon.

I'm sure you are right@lindisfel. We have been so careful but no-one around us seem to be doing the same anymore.

Thanks again@Krystyna. Still struggling I'm afraid. I'm hoping it will go as fast as it came but no sign of it yet.

 

[Krystyna23040]

Oh @Krystyna23040 how you must have kicked yourself after, if only you could have

So very like you, wanting to help others....but it's just so easy to do & not see all the possible outcomes ..ouch

Good thing is you have the knowledge and can untangle those stressed muscles etc.

Enjoy the day.

Yes, I got so caught up in trying to convey the damage caused by the bad movement patterns that I completely overlooked the fact that it was doing myself harm. I agree that I am so lucky that I know how to sort it.

I agree - that was brilliant.

Such a beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing.

His voice is glorious isn't it.

One of the songs for dad's funeral was his "Time to say goodbye "

Still can't hear it, after all these years without a little tear forming .

The power of music, huh ..<heart>

Derek

Good afternoon@lindisfel. Mr. D had both cataracts done recently and he's been fine. He has been delighted how much more detail he can see and how much brighter everything is.

 

[Outlier]

I had both mine done in May, and am fine too. Amazing and positive results. Do make sure that the aftercare you take is exactly as stated. It's a bit involved, but must be done.

 

[ianpspurs]

Afternoon update. JKP is much better and up and about but thanks for all the good wishes. @lindisfel good news on the cataract operation going smoothly and do heed @Outlier's advice but with a GP daughter and The Duchess I'm sure you will. Covid rates have, as predicted, risen significantly with the return of secondary schools and general relaxation. Not sure all the crowds lately will have helped. @jjraak the Sheeran/Bocelli song is on my gym playlist. Con te partirò must have been very moving at a funeral so hug for the memory.

Hi @jjraak

Thank you.
Thanks for the second one with the words. I appreciate that.

Like you say, the first one has a beauty, about it, which I can see and appreciate even with no sound playing.

Very kind.
Much appreciated.
