Breakfast: made some pancakes and had a couple with some tea. Naughty, but I seem to be needing something like that atm. 2nd meal will be cabbage with bacon, onions, a small carrot and plenty of butter.

BG at 04.45 was 7.9. I got part of my bedroom sorted out yesterday, but there's still plenty to do. Things are getting thrown out - no point keeping all the junk (still keeping most, but not all). Last night I decided to use both sides of my bed. 01.00 to 03.15 on my left side. Woke with...

Happy belated birthday wishes to Mrs M.

Just back from the Health Centre, legs all bandaged up again. When I got in to see the nurse, she told me that I had another appointment, immediately after hers, with another nurse. Pity nobody thought to tell me about it. Turned out to be the diabetes nurse and it was my 6 monthly review...

Breakfast yesterday was a home made scone and a cup of coffee. 2nd meal was potato slices baked with onion and tomato (chilled and reheated) with a chicken thigh, baked in a spicy yoghurt sauce. Breakfast today (shortly) will be a few more potato slices and a fried egg. First I have to stop...

8.2 at 03.00 today. Started feeling sick while in the shower and am currently sipping water to try to calm it all down. It's leg bandaging day today again as well as taking stuff to the dump day for Neil. Luckily, not much shopping needed. Chest XRay tomorrow to see if my lungs have cleared...

Thanks Amos. Luckily my arm has improved dramatically along with all my other symptoms. This has been some kind of inflammation that has been building up for months and finally reached crisis point. The antibiotics helped calm it all down and I am almost back to, for what is me, normal...

7.5 today at 04.30. Drinking mainly black, Chinese style tea today to try to settle my stomach. BG sticking around the 7 mark. I realised why I was feeling quite so cold - Neil had, for some inexplicable reason, turned the thermostat down to 17C. I'm all for energy saving, but that's a step...

Actually, I didn't enjoy the fish fingers. The salad was better. That's because they were cod, and I'm not keen on cod. I had thought they would be haddock. Never mind, it filled a gap. Breakfast today was an idea my brother saw in some YouTube video - a kind of chocolate cheese - it was...

Just had a letter from the hospital with an appointment for a chest XRay on Friday. Action from GP appointment. I'll see if I can get results of my blood test on Thursday. Meantime, keep going as we are.

Greek yoghurt and half a dozen blueberries for breakfast. Tea (of course). 2nd meal will be fish fingers and salad (those bright orange ones - bad, but that's what I fancy today). Still a bit under the weather - feeling chilly despite layers of clothes and the heating going strong. Heard...

13.4 at 04.30 today! Ouch! My own fault, of course. The house isn't all that cold but I'm feeling chilly, despite 3 layers plus a shawl. Must still be under the weather.

Up at 04.30 but fell asleep again in the chair after taking painkillers. Slept until just after 10.00 so only just got around to breakfast and daily pills (plus some more painkillers). Breakfast was a couple of Jacob's crackers with some ham and some cottage cheese. 2nd meal will be the last...

Andres is a very lucky man having friends such as you, Antje. Kibbeling sounds delicious. You deserve a treat or two.

7.9 at 04.30 today. Fairly bright outside but not warm by any stretch of the imagination. Quiet day - nothing planned but I see that Neil has brought in a lot of boxes out of the container. He has now disappeared into his bedroom, leaving the hallway completely jammed with all these boxes...

So much for TLC!

Hope you feel better today. Take care, take fluids, keep warm. Be good to yourself. Clearly a little TLC is needed. Risotto for breakfast (cooked, chilled, reheated). Followed by a really low hypo but it's under control now and on the way back up. Still feeling a bit shaky though. 2nd...

6.2 at 03.45 today. Extra codeine to add to my normal painkillers was prescribed yesterday - it just put me to sleep for a bit longer - didn't help at all with the pain as far as I can tell. Ah well - I need the sleep. I don't see the point in those small emergency spare wheels. If you're...

Breakfast: bacon and egg. Water. 2nd meal: I found the h/m sausage so will have that with some mixed veg. On the increased codeine dose today - it didn't ease the pain, but did send me back to sleep for a couple of hours. Not the effect I'd hoped for.

Just back from a GP appointment! How about that? Lungs still crackling so another blood test and chest XRay required. Vitals all good though, so it can't be all that bad. Avocado for breakfast. Lunch will be the remaining broccoli cheese. Last meal will be poached chicken with shredded...
