So tonight Ron is sleeping in his recliner because yet again his legs won't move , been like it for over an hour .
Yes it always appears odd to me that those who are the worst off insulin wise have the means for better control than those who otherwise have less serious issues. I used to feel slightly envious, but having learned more about living with type 1 I wouldn't choose to swap places for all the cream and strawberry scones in Devon & Cornwall!

But weeds are just flowers growing where you don't want them
Got some lovely dandelions growing at the front of my house.... a lovely, lovely bright yellow.... when the flowers have died off I will pull the plant up for my grandrabbits
Love dandelions. The young leaves are good in salads, but don't eat too many: they've earned their French name - pis en lit.
Never tried them .. mind you the dogs pis en dent de lionLove dandelions. The young leaves are good in salads, but don't eat too many: they've earned their French name - pis en lit.
I heard on the news this morning that we will soon be asked about our sexuality by the gp, hospital etc. My inclination is to refuse to give an answer.
I was asked the same question on a form asking my opinion on local libraries. My answer was unrepeatable on this genteel forum.
Tempted to give the same answer as the religion question on the census: Jedi. Any better ideas?
Argh!!!
Had a nightmare last night about bariatric surgery. Woke very very upset.
I do wonder.....if I'm starting the change as hormones all over the place. Tired then bursting with energy but blunted by painful walking.
Also.....
Dietician appointment has upset me. I know this weight loss thing is a serious matter but the horrific journey there and back for a 15mins lecture on porriage and banana suggestion. It's a good job I like the lass. What a bl##dy waste of time and money. First appointment I've had like that.....very disappointed.![]()
Its ridiculously well off thebeatentrack at times. I feel they are struggling to claw back nornal eating but we dont have normal ingredients these days. Mealtimes have changed, the human bodies capabilities have changed too.My experience was a male doctor who told me 'I had no choice but to have bariatric surgery due to my underlying health issues'.
I felt I had no choice but to accept going on the list so I went off home and did some research and discovered it probably wouldnt be the best thing for me given me past history and the fact I am on lifelong mediation. The idiot even wrote to my psych consultant asking if 'I was of sound mind'
I wrote a letter to the head honcho explaining I was probably one of the people that psychological services would be better for me as I had issues surrounding food. I was apprehensive at my next appointment but they were very nice and explained the man had been 'moved elsewhere' and that I could continue with them for as long as necessary.
Take each appointment as it is. You will see many different people on the journey but they all have the same ideas in the end.
** I've had the banana and porridge one too. Oh and the 7 deadly sins of food - bread, biscuits, crisps, chocolate, pies, pastries (cant remember the other one)
I know how you feel. When I have to make an appointment with my gp when yearly blood tests are back to be told at appointment, all good. Mind u I was ill last year but going to doctors when not well isn't anyones ides of fun. I even snapped and said "could this not have been done on a 5min phone call?" Humf.Well I'm waiting on a call from the gp. Please tell me whether I have a point or not.
I have a list of medication I can order online and then it gets sent to the chemist. There is one item I cannot order as a repeat so I request it in the little box below. Every month I have to chase this medication as the prescription staff seem to ignore my request. I dont see the point of making an appointment to see the gp with it as it should really be on my repeat list and I dont think they have got around to it.
I've tried online for days to get an appointment with the gp but there are no appointments available because they havent put December's list up yet, and when I phone I have to keep ringing to be told there are no appointments.
Anyone see the reasoning or am I being stroppy?
So now I'm taking up the time of a gp who could be dealing with someone that is sick and not someone who basically uses their brains and requests in the correct manner.
grrrr
Ron's in the same situation as you are so your not alone there .Well I'm waiting on a call from the gp. Please tell me whether I have a point or not.

Items not on repeat can't be ordered in the box (it does say something about that there) a request via receptionist "may" be auctioned BUT it depends on the medication involved.... it's not wasting GP 's time....Well I'm waiting on a call from the gp. Please tell me whether I have a point or not.
