    Morning all a thoroughly confusing 5.2 today, especially considering the stressful situation of dealing with a severely stressed Bulldog and clearing her airways. At least she's ok now, me on the other hand is a bag of nerves and Betty (the bulldog) is just not bothered!!!!! Take care everyone.

    The Struggle Continues

    You are doing well, as your readings are good, keep it up. I went through a spell of not wanting to take my insulin as well. so keep doing what you are doing. It is difficult whilst struggling with your mental health, but one step at a time. Take care.
