soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I know My blood pressure doesn't equalise very well ( postural hypotension), but when checked, it's still on the higher side of normal 126/68. Just lately,it's been awful, I can't do the garden, because every time I straighten up, I'm in danger of falling. I don't think it's Diabetes related. My BG control is good. ( under 6)
Anyone got any helpful ideas?
I already have most of my plants raised up.
I've got a nurse appointment on Wednesday to collect my latest blood test results.I will talk to her. The Angel has come out of retirement to help out and I've got one of her appointments. 8)
I just wondered if someone here has the same problem and if they have any helpful suggestions.
I was planting stuff, but I've had to come inside.
Back hurts too.
 
I think you should really discuss this with your doctor ,Hana. May be changes in the width of arteries etc ,best to get it checked out.
 
Since seeing nurse, will check with her first. I've had this to some degree for years, now it's just got worse
 
I would pop along to your G.P. sooner rather than wait to see the nurse on Wednesday, she will probably tell you to see him/her anyway, just take it easy until you do see someone! Take care

I got the strawberry plants all into pots, so I've come in. T1 is cooking lunch and the young ones are coming. Steak for the adults and fish finger for baby. She has plenty of teeth, Almost all of them now, but doesn't yet know how to chew food. It's no good mushing it, she wants to eat like a proper person. ( with her fingers. :D )
Would you believe?
My Mum' s neighbour's grandchild, aged 4, still has jars of baby food spooned into her mouth. My Mum was horrified when she was invited next-door to lunch and saw it. Sits on floor to be fed too. Has never yet sat up to the table :roll:
 
My godson, aged 3, has been feeding himself since he could sit up! As a general rule he eats what we all eat, albeit modified if necessary :) It's not a pretty sight :roll: and the kitchen floor may need to be hosed down, :lol: but he is a well socialised little chap, and has learnt not to be a fussy eater. Hunger is a good sauce, and if he doesn't eat what he's given, he has a better appetite at the next try :D
 
Amelie has gone home now with Mummy and Daddy, having feasted on strawberries for dessert.
I regret she's developed Mummy's bad habit of putting ketchup on her food. The fish finger, not the strawberries. She also went for the "Squirty Cream" in a big way. in the end we persuaded her there was none left.
In fact Mummy, my daughter, is the fussiest eater. AND I didn't give in to her when she was small, She went without a meal more than once. With me feeling VERY guilty. She's still bad. Luckily Amelie has a good example in her Daddy.
 
Young Jack [godson] has never refused any foodstuff we have offered :D but it was a bit of a problem if the cat left anything when he was younger :? . He was also prone to a bit of chicken corn when he could get it, but it did appear to keep him regular :) Pony cubes, are apparently delicious :shock:
Hanadr, how did you convince her tomato ketchup wouldn't go with berries :)
 
WE offered berries and moved the ketchup.Little horror did have ketchup on fingers, but at the sight of the strawberries, she tried to wipe her fingers on Mummy. Mummy was quick with the baby wipes.
:lol:
 
So instinctively Little Horror has sufficient discrimination not to put ketchup on berries :D You are fortunate that she wipes her fingers on Mummy :D Jack still wipes his hands on either dog or cat :shock: How hygienic is THAT :?: It amazes me that he never has so much as tummy upset, as I never had children, and my level of care is very low :oops:
