Thank you no apologies needed. I've found people on here most helpful and very supportive to each other . Also thank you for your support with the problem I had some months ago very much appreciated.Ah. Apologies.
Occupational Therapy is the ideal assessment body. They can also provide certain things, like grab handles, specialist stools to provide support/rest when doing standing tasks, hand rails in the other side to the banister, risers for the loo, risers for armchairs, ideas for safely dealing with hot saucepans and so on.
The Red Cross could still be worthwhile. We found them so kind and keen to help, with almost embarrassment when we wanted to make a donation.
I do hope you find a way of supporting his independence soon.
If he would like he can borrow mine for a while I am not using it at moment as trying to walk more just a thought it's just sitting in my front room it's not an on road one so a bit basic.but breaks down to go in a car boot.Funny you should ask that John we were just saying the other day that if this carries on much longer he might need one . There is a mobility shop in Sutton I've been looking at the ones they have in there . Couple of weeks ago we walked in to town and back it took Ron 2 hours . It's only 15 minutes from our house .
Is it heavy to lift as that's another problem Ron has .no upper body strength.If he would like he can borrow mine for a while I am not using it at moment as trying to walk more just a thought it's just sitting in my front room it's not an on road one so a bit basic.but breaks down to go in a car boot.
Thank you. Hopefully he will see your post in the morning .It's not very heavy but the motor section is the heaviest part I have got it in the car without too much trouble but am unsre as to whether ron could manage it on his own.
But he could try it out if he would like and if he can manage it and would like to borrow it he is welcome.
Thank you. Hopefully he will see your post in the morning .
Night John .Ok if he sees it and thinks it a good idea he can PM me and I will drop it down some time.
Any way will say good night as I going to get some zzz's in now.
Lol if I could afford it I'd be there like a shot!Wow. That's not fair. I didn't realise my brother-in-law was infact lucky to be diagnosed recently. It's it funny how you take things for granted. I didn't realise it is a postcode lottery. Move to sunderland for a month. I'd love the company. Ha ha.
Looking forward to a slow effort of Blackpool next Monday for a week. No children and with my mum and her nurse friend so feeling reassured. I'm looking forward to no childcare needs. Doing adult hobbies without having to consider young children. I might like it too much! Ha ha@ickihun
Poor Sunderland what a drubbing from the Gunners
Went to warh Carlisle today and won 3-1
How are you keeping?

Look @PenfoldAPD why are you stressing?Morning forum friends! Taken a weekend off worrying about 'the condition', sometimes worn down by th constant battle but I guess everyone is. Didn't go mad and eat cakes (as if!) but ate bread both evening when we had friends to dinner - although cooked LCHF meals both times. Today and yesterday the FBG was in the 7s. Disappointing but if I do LCHF and flush my body with water today I'm hoping it won't last long - it's a trial to see how long it takes to recover.
Starting taking cod liver oil today to see if it helps my joint. Had a bit of pain in my knee recently, someone recommended cod liver. Noticeably worse now the weather is changing - maybe I should just live in the South of France all the timeit was fine there and no issue.
Just caught up with the forum and I love reading the supportive messages. Haven't had as much time to contribute recently as the work climate appears tougher now so more hours. Not the best when I'm trying to reduce stress. And overslept today so missed my swimming opportunity
Have a good Halloween friends, my treats this year will be cheese, cheese and more cheese
Look @PenfoldAPD why are you stressing?
You definitely know what works for you. Luckily your able to exercise, for now. Dust those trunks down and get out there tomorrow. I wish I could. Im still having inflammed sacroilliac joint making walking very very painful. Kick this diabetes into place. Winter is going to be harder for many of us.
If your having difficulty, how about a rethink to get the same affect but in a warmer environment. We are looking for a decent hotel with a warm pool which isn't a trek to get there without pulling toddler with us. Many hotels dont allow kids in pool if not residents. Local pool is freezing. Brrrr!
Any ideas? Is swimming your only exercise?
It might need a rethink if no exercise is possible?
I know you. You'll solve this. Are you getting board with your regular swimming venue? Liven things up? Step back and think what you would tell others to inject them with positivity.
Where abouts do you go in France? If you dont own property there, it isnt very expensive
No one is perfect. Dont let them con you Andrew. We are all human. Even diabetic gps struggle.I need to stop moaning I think and just get on with it!
But life as a diabetic can be hard .... I'm in wonder at those those always have good FBG on no meds. But I know I can do it
