What no Karen this morning? Hope all's well.

@urbanracer where do you get alerts about stuff like the course you posted? Did I miss it on here somewhere?

Hope you're all getting some of the sun I've got right now - making the most 'cos it ain't gonna last....

Hi @hh1

I am a member of a couple of diabetes related Facebook groups. Sometimes I bring information back here and once or twice l have suggested that our forum members join one of the groups if I think it will help with a specific issue or if a wider audience might be of benefit.
I got this info from a very active group named The Insulin Gang.

You have sun ?! Mrs Urb and I are still in our dressing gowns as it seems to have been raining since we woke up.:( The forecast shows it lasting until 7pm (ish) so not sure what to do with the day.
 
@Jaylee, I saw on another thread that you had some odd symptoms; have you managed to book a PCR test? Hope it’s just one of those jab effects and nothing we need to worry about.
 
Morning all, thanks @urbanracer, might have to have a look at that. And yes, sorry to crow (not really) had sun in this part of Somerset all day yesterday:smug:

@karen8967 I laughed out loud at the thought of you hiding in the bathroom! Hope you had a good time with them and you're in recovery now :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

Nothing to report here, off for a dog play date this morning, outside after that if the rain holds off, not due a day like yesterday again sadly...have a good day all

Well I cannot see under the bandages but I think I'm doing OK thanks. I'm off the antibiotics since Thursday and Mr Consultant is happy with the progress. So the next big test is seeing him again Tuesday at 2pm and confirming that the infection has not come back.

Would you believe that I actually managed to prick the other thumb last night:banghead::banghead::banghead:. Made sure I squeezed as much blood out as I could this time and it seems OK, thankfully.

As long as you're getting encouraging glimpses during a dressing change it can only get better.

You mean you tested on the dodgy thumb..? I'm not certain what style of bandage you have going on. But if you are sporting a "Fonzie" posture. it's there for the taking.. ;)

Happy days! :cool:

Hi,

In the files folder on your phone, is the XDrip APK not still in the downloads folder?
You should be able to click on it & re-install. If it is..

I meant that I managed to stab my left thumb with a used insulin needle which is exactly how the current problem started. I was panicking for a while as I can't be doing with both hands bandaged up!

Depending on which nurse is assisting, I seem to get a different bandage style each time I go. At the moment it's not too bulky but I've had some that double the size of my thumb.

Yep, I noticed they can have their own style with dressings..
That one don't look to cumbersome.

Thanks @Jaylee, I'll check if I can ever find where the downloads are, shocking memory and no idea about how to use my phone but I think I was trying to create more space and may have deleted them.

impressive @urbanracer. Like the wine label too but prefer rose.
