I'm about the same really. I've finally had a call back from the hospital and they are going to get me in as soon as they can, as they feel my condition is a good enough excuse to over ride there no face to face appointments. They are also getting the renal team to organise another biopsy on my kidney. My gp is going to arrange for me to see someone to talk to about how it's affecting me mentally.That’s okay, we have all swooned over your ferrets. I love them all. How are you btw?
You can't beat a day out with the falcons, my friend has one and I've spent may hours out in the field with them.@SueJB do Morrisons really sell LivLife? Mine doesn't seem to stock it (though I rarely go there) and the only place I can get it is at a Waitrose.
@Lee farrington my husband was a falconer so we had ferrets. Lyn is beautiful, looks just like one we had called Burglar Bill. His girlfriend was Swag, and looked more like Caesar. Billy was very amenable to walking on a harness, so sometimes you'd see my husband in the village, hawk on wrist, ferret on leash and dog by his side. Local kids loved it!

Thank you for asking.
So lovely to see Snoopy. My husband of 41 years today, used to draw little pictures of Snoopy and Woodstock on the back of the envelopes of the letters he wrote to me. Our first years together, when I was 16 and he 19, we used to write each week as he was away at university. No mobiles or internet in those days. The postman delivering those letters got so involved in the Snoopy stories that he bought us a wedding present. Just eaten Homemade Paella and had a bottle of red, to remember our lovely Tenerife Ruby wedding last year with my oldest friend and partner. Not hopeful with the numbers. But hey! It’s one day.
We would say that is a better love story than twilight
I've got a fatty belly so I imagine I've got a fatty liver tooWhen I was doing DAFNE again, my nurse did mention we are at risk for fatty liver disease as well
Yes, I miss that, seeing a dog and bird learn to work together when they really should want nothing to do with each other is amazing. Amongst other birds, we used to have two Harris' Hawks and we'd fly one each. To see them work together too was fantastic.You can't beat a day out with the falcons, my friend has one and I've spent may hours out in the field with them.
I think it varies according to where you are. Mine was years ago now but it was 6 half-days over 6 weeks, weekdays. I'm sure others have had different experiences. Also, there are reports on here of a lot of the Dafne courses pushing the 'you must eat carbs' mantra, and denying that low(er) carbing works really well for some of us. The best two things I got from my course were learning that jelly babies are (for me) the best, fastest, portable hypo cure, and spending time with other people in real life who were also T1. Our group continued to meet up for a number of years after the course.I want to do the dafne course, I think my nearest would be Manchester. I wonder how many days does it run for? Is it over a weekend or working week?
@Choosehappy, I did it and it was 5 days in a row during a working week. I can't say I was impressed except for meeting other T1s but it's one of the requirements for getting a continuous monitoring thingyI want to do the dafne course, I think my nearest would be Manchester.

That’s weird that you had to surrender your driving license though? No one has said anything to me about driving other than to let the DVLA know, I haven’t done this yet though as I don’t currently own a carAfternoon,
Just thought it may be of interest. When I was first diagnosed, I had to surrender my driving licence and got one back lasting for 3 years. In Oct I had to complete a form from the DVLA to renew it, got a letter back saying I'd need an examination from GP to check I was OK to drive but could continue driving until this happened. Nothing came of this.
Today I got a really great phone call from DVLA, couple of quick questions and they're going to renew my licence.
Over the moon does not describe how I feel. So if you find yourself in this situation, don't worry yourself stupid like I did.

Oh, do we have to take annual leave to complete the course or is time specially given?It’s either one day a week for 5-6 weeks or an entire week. They will give you a note to give to your employer so you can have time off to do the course.
