I have just had the results of my HbA1c test and it is 44 down from 118 in Marchto be honest I have shocked myself lol and did say "F**k Me" very loudly in the Docs reception when she handed me the print out lol
Cholesterol is down by almost two points so we can stop having the regular and very boring statin conversations and my BP has normalised at 130/80. Weight is down by 13 kilos and waist has reduced by 24 cms.

I managed to sleep for a couple of hours at a time last night, probably near to 4 hours in total, so that's good, as pooh is so topical at the moment, I also managed get the dreaded post poop done too, despite nearly two hours or intense labour in doing soanyone having surgery, I recommend maybe asking for something to help soften the experience....I know wish I had
On a more upbeat note I managed a small walk to the polling station, and plan to try and sleep some more.
Still feeling positive
Good on you for getting out and about so soon post op. I know we have to get moving asap helping prevent blood clots & stuff but many a time folks don't. We're not like the dogs in that respect. Soon as anaesthetic is worn off they're up and about giving shins/thighs a good old battering with those damned lampshadesI managed to sleep for a couple of hours at a time last night, probably near to 4 hours in total, so that's good, as pooh is so topical at the moment, I also managed get the dreaded post poop done too, despite nearly two hours or intense labour in doing soanyone having surgery, I recommend maybe asking for something to help soften the experience....I know wish I had

Sounds like a couple of good ideas@Stallen allow your body time to heal take it slowly time to indulge in a good book and TV box set you have always wanted to find the time to watch and give into it.
Take care x
I tend to try and avoid being surrounded by the four walls as much as possible, I like my walks and outdoor but i can concede, I will need to rest up the next few months, so will contain myself a bit better when need.Good on you for getting out and about so soon post op.

Good Morning to your lovely kind self and thank you for your quote/message. I am feeling very much better today and thanks to the Laxido Orange bowel stimulation soluble sachets and the recommendation of the pears that my Carer bought yesterday, I am evacuating my bladder and my bowels better. I couldn't get the Prune Juice that Nurse Gill recommended because the Carer couldn't get it but my friend Lee will try to get it for me. I am still using the computers at the library due to no wifi connectability in my flat. The weather is hot and sunny in South London today, Friday 24th June, 2016. My blood glucose reading this morning was a very satisfactory and pleasing 6.7. Have a lovely day, my friend.Sorry to hear you were so poorly yesterday. Hope you're feeling much better today. The exercises should do you good....and once the impacted blockage clears through that should make you feel better to. Have they given you laxatives to help or is it just exercise and good old fibre in lots of fruit and veg in your diet. Glad to hear no glucose in urine and presumably no infection, which is good news with your bladder not emptying properly.
Hope the sun is shining for you; it's lovely here.
Were you in the library posting your message or have you got internet connection at home again now?
Good morning Johnny, so glad the meds and pears did the trick. Happy you're feeling so much more comfortable too. You should be able to get prune juice in most supermarkets. It will be on the shelves with the other drinks and juices. Ive only seen it in the litre sized cartons but you may find it in the smaller ones. One average sized glass a day should be plenty as too much, especially if you aren't used to it can send you the opposite way, and you don't want to be getting the trots....also too much and the natural fruit sugars can increase your blood sugars.Good Morning to your lovely kind self and thank you for your quote/message.

How's the fractured knee doing?Hello Folks - Just to give you all an update. Been to Hospital today and seen the Rheumatologist. Have had more blood tests done and X Ray's taken of: Neck, Shoulders and upper Spine, Pelvis and Hips, Hands and Feet and then had 2 Steroid Injections . Rheumatologist reckons the Arthritis has spread!!! (Told her that!) To go back in 6 weeks time, but she hopes the Steriod Injections will give me some relief, and then tomorrow have my other Injection of Cosentyx.Seeing the Dermatologist on Wednesday, then Thursday having the Ultrasound Scan on my Liver at the Hospital.
Ooh, I definitely know what you mean....hope it's settling down again now.@Sable_Jan - Was "terrified" someone or something would bump/knock it. And asked the Rheumatologist = Please don't touch it, cos you will have to scrape me off the ceiling. And Bless Her, she didn't go near it. We were at the Hospital for 3 hours and my knee - it is "gnawing at me" if you know what I mean? Thanks
Oh, yes - I know EXACTLY what you mean. Huge hugs, William xxx@Sable_Jan - Was "terrified" someone or something would bump/knock it.
