Snapsies I got my flu jag at Boots - I didn't fancy having covid booster and flu jag at same timeWednesday 3 November bed 6.3 FBG 6.7. I do hope everyone is feeling better what with dental visits and isolation. We're still a bit congested but it's starting to clear finally. My booster is on 8 November and I'm told to attend and they'll decide then whether to rebook me or not. I'm refusing both and I've booked at Boots at the end of the month for the flu jab.

Thanks @Antje77. All's well that ends well. I was feeling rather excluded because I could see other people getting onto the forum and I thought I must have broken some rule inadvertently and nobody would tell me.
Had my 2 lamb chops for breakfast. Didn't enjoy them, sadly and was feeling that food was stuck in my throat. Eventually had a couple of teaspoons of yoghurt and that sorted it out. Beginning to feel a bit peckish now so will probably have scrambled eggs for lunch.
Actually managed to get 2 delivery slots from Tesco one on 20th and one on 27th November. I've decided to try some ready-made food, which I normally wouldn't dream of, but it would mean that there would be something to eat without much effort, or without standing cooking for too long. I have been using my rollator (it has a seat on it) when I need to get around or to get to a slightly higher level than seated on a chair, but there is a distance between me and the cooking surface which is an uncomfortable reach but better than sitting in the wheelchair - it's far too low for my kitchen surfaces.
By the way, DGF are having to increase their prices soon. Quite understandable with the price of ingredients but worth it to have someone else do the work.
First 2 jabs were Pfizer. I had a mild allergic reaction to both jabs. It was pretty much instantaneous. I could feel it from the injection site up into my jaw and the side of my face. Just a numbness. Fingers started to swell first jab but not second. The first jab it lasted about 45 mins then passed over. 2nd it was only about 15 mins but they kept me 30 mins.Brunch - 2 egg mayo sandwiches on slc bread. Mug of earl grey tea
Dinner - 2 bratwurst sausages on a slc hot dog roll with a little 50% less sugar & salt ketchup. I dgf cookie with another cup of earl grey
@Rachox ouch for the dry socket - sounds painful - take care x
@Annb I couldn't get logged in either for a few days but seems fine today
@maglil55 I hope you are feeling better - did you have any reaction at all or feel unwell after you had the Pfizer vaccines? as I think that is probably what I will be getting but a bit worried as I also have a few allergies I don't fancy the moderna as my son had that one and never got out of bed until 7pm the following day - he says he felt worse after having the vaccine that he did when he had covid!
Virtual hugs for anyone I have missed x
Ann, has anyone ever suggested a perching stool to you?
They tend to be a stool (funnily enough), but at almost standing height. They're usually adjustable. Some have a shallow back for support and most have low arms on the sides for pushing up.
When my Mum's mobility got bad, she was recommended one by the OT, who supplied it and ensured it was set up for her dimensions. It lived in the kitchen, and enabled her to cook and work at a worktop, and to do her ironing - there's nothing in front of it. She loved things properly ironed.
If you Google "Perching Stool" or "Fatigue Stool", you should find some decent links.
@MrsA2 - I keep coming across adverts for these clips for migraine relief. It supposedly works on an acupuncture point. My DIL has migrain and uses acupuncture. This one is out of stock but it keeps appearing as an Ad.

Might be rubbish but you never know.
I add stuff to mine if it catches my eye at the time, I went through it a week or so ago and deleted a heap of stuff.Just added a similar one to my wish list on the Amazon site

Plan was to go grocery shopping yesterday after my endo appointment.
Appointment went utterly wonderful, but i was knackered afterwards so I decided to postpone the groceries until today after swimming.
Forgot I didn't have time after swimming because they were coming to do something with my electricity meter so no groceries and had to steal from the guinea pig's stash.
Discovered kale soup is very tasty!
Kale, onion, some leek, garlic, a chilli pepper, some spices, stock cube and a chorizo sausage found in the freezer.
Good thing it tasted good, as there is enough left for two more days!
Next time I'll remember to wash the kale before cooking if not store bought, my kale was sold along the roadside. Good thing the sand tends to sink to the bottom, dogs and cat much enjoyed the last bit, sand and all!
After my father got his peg because he couldn't eat or drink anymore I started experimenting with (mainly Indonesian) spices a lot more, as he did enjoy smelling food.Kale soup was one of my husband's favourites, although I never added chilli to it. I'm sure he would have enjoyed that too. Haven't made it since he had a stomach peg fitted because he couldn't eat any more. Might just try that again. Looks good enough to make me want to cook.
Those stools look very interesting. So many to choose from though. I'll have to have a think about those. Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of a high stool.
