I woke about 5.30 am, with 9.0, which I corrected, and since then it's been down to 4.5 and is now on 8.4. For a while my early morning corrections needed to be quite aggressive, but that seems to have changed the last few days, so I'll have to take that into account.
Over the weekend I had a fun encounter with NHS24. One of my big toes has been making offstage noises for a while, that have indicated it wasn't completely happy, I think I banged it very hard a few months back. Anyway, on Friday evening after the doctors had closed, of course, it was looking a bit too red round the knuckle, so I wondered if it was infected. So Saturday evening I decided to ring NHS24, and got an avuncular sounding doctor, I described my symptoms, and he told me I had gout.
Anyway, yesterday morning I had an appointment with a gp at the surgery, and she gave me some antibiotics. I've found a fun game to play, because I have protect my gut flora while taking them, for a week, so I bought some pickles. I haven't eaten pickles in ages, it nice to have an excuse. I can't find a way to have any for breakfast though.
