GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING.

Liam1955 · Mar 30, 2017

What can I say to your post (above) @Granny_grump_ except that what lovely and enjoyable people you and your Sister P are! It was sheer joy the last 2 days and I know I can talk - got a sore throat today .
From my waist down I am ache'y and stiff, my feet are 'tingling' = but well worth it. For the chatter, laughter and hours of exercise = walking off those "coffee and cakes". I am amazed my fasting was only a 6.0 this morning?
Hope @polly 20 legs/feet are OK? Who did exceptionally well walking, considering her legs that had been recently operated on for the circulation.
And would you believe it's glorious Sunshine here today Girls!!! .

Hi my lovely Friend
No wonder you have a sore throat bet R is glad he may get a word in!haha!!
Our P is off out checking train times for our next jaunt to Warwick,so she must be ok she hasn't said anything, perhaps that's what's needed plenty chatting and walking cures aches and pains! Well you certainly don't think about it.
It's not pain your body aches for it's the Strawberry Tart it's missing today withdrawal symptoms!
Wouldn't you just know the weather would improve today,but we cannot complain the rain held off until 5pm first day,and only spits and spots second day,what's a few spots when you have a great friend who brings you a brolly eh!
Has to BG readings not surprised after the exercise we all got,mine 6.5 think at 4 am after dog walk around 8 am it was 6.2 then out with grandson shopping for his hols next week and called in local pub for a cooked breakfast,what more could you ask for!
Exept no cakey,what a shame,but I'm well back on track,utter bliss from day one to day we returned home.Thankyou ThankYou ThankYou both from the bottom of my Heart Kathleen

Hello everyone what a fabulous time my sister and I had in York Liam1955 and R never stopped talking and walking we all hit it of from meeting them at York station,we walk talked eat drank coffee had cake and loved it so much,it was fabulous meeting Liam what a great person he is and he and his partner showed us round York until 6 in the evening, and so knowledgeable about places, we loved it.
And we met Liam again next day to round off our time in York with more sites and shops,and cake and coffee,when Liam got us too the station to come home it was a sad time because we had a met up with a forum friend who otherwise may have never met had it not been for this diabetic forum site, so a big thank you to the forum you should all make a little effort to meet up and get to see all the people you chat with on here. It can change your lives for the better,and we hope to meet with Liam and partner again in the not too distant future. A Huge ThankYou Liam1955 and R : love you and leave you K

Liam1955 · Mar 30, 2017

Aw, That is really lovely and so sweet @Molly56 - Yes, I do know of @Clivethedrive from posting on the daily Fasting Blood Sugar Threads. Many Congratulations to you Clivethedrive.
(I met up last year for a couple of hours with another forum member and her Family who visited York's National Railway Museum and we got on really well).
Wishing Both of You a wonderful Wedding Day and a Happy Life together.

Morning. Went hospital yesterday, been having problems since catarach ops, confirmed yesterday I have now got blepharospasm!!!! One of the side effects of the operation which I wasn't told about, told yesterday if my eye keeps closing then to book appiontment for Botox. But side effects are droopy eyes, face mouth ect! & Botox only last few weeks. Wish I'd never had the op. For months my eye has been twitching & they keep trying to close. Awful feeling. & had bad fall early in week & I'm very sore & bruised on left side & whole arm Good day to you all

Oh @maureen5752 . My heart goes out to you. Are you feeling any better today?

Lovely post @Granny_grump_ and I'm so glad you and your sister had such a great time in York with @Liam1955 and R. It sounds as if you certainly packed a lot in! (And I'm not just talking about the cake...)
Perhaps it's a bit strong, though, to say "you should all make a little effort to meet up and get to see all the people you chat with on here", as we are not all on the same journey, after all, and many of our members prefer to maintain anonymity, for lots of different reasons.

For me, I cannot walk well so I'd limited to coffee shops and staying local. I'd refuse a wheelchair, i need the movement as much as possible but not kill myself. York is renound for alot of walking, always has been. Only way I can enjoy York now is to take my time. Very very slow!
No knock on you @Granny_grump_ . I celebrate people staying active, especially if you can do it!
Once heart/chest pain is resolved i'll be travelling again. Fingers crossed!

5s are brilliant @maureen5752 . You wouldnt want lowering meds with 5s. You always work hard to keep your bgs good. Well done.
I feel for you at the moment as I know how it feels to have a disability at the moment. I'm like you, I just want it resolved so I can get on with enjoying my life. Me and you aren't used to being held back by health problems. It is frustrating. Hang in there, I will too. Things do get better. Acceptance is the hardest thing for me. I believe nothing is impossible! Look after yourself, I'm sending lots of hugs from me. Keep smiling, I know very difficult when odd things make us sad! Keep fighting for good health, yes, it is worth it! ♡♥♡

@ickihun sorry to hear your not to well hope things improve soon for you, as you say dissability is frustrating even tho I've had it for 61 years now eye problems, just wish doctor told me about after problems before op. Yes as you say 5's are good what surprised me is the fact I forgot my meds & got 5's makes me wonder if it was a one off or I need to take meds, or need less of them. I've Not been active for months, as you know this isn't helpful being disbetic but we just have to get on with it, otheres worse of than us, I hope you get well soon & life gets easier for you. Sending you loads of hugs & good wishes. Have good day, yes I'll certainly keep fighting have been for many years, I never give up, have off days like everyone but soon bounce back life's to short. Wish you well x

GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING.
