Thanks @gennepher and sorry to hear your challenges on that front. As for my situation it was mostly a case of numbness, tingling and the dreaded drop foot which sent me almost into a depression. I was preparing myself for a life in braces / splints / AFOs on both legs. The hours I spent despairing the possibility of a life with limited mobility are many but thankfully (fortunately) mobility in feet is completely back and marked reduction in numbness. I was put on B12, ALA and other stuff that is deemed to help nerve recovery and I must say it has helped a lot... Along with a LCHF diet with special emphasis on Ghee, Walnuts and Almonds. What i am still facing is more a weakness in legs (i have also had some muscle loss thanks to two months in a leg cast due to a fracture). The pain isn’t severe and is a dull type of pain. Doctors believe it is matter of helping the muscles get some mass and strength back while the nerves hopefully recover fully. I am staying hopeful. Good luck to you too. Thanks
 
good morning all

4.9 for me today

Got up quite late this morning

Mum's visitor arrived safely yesterday and we had a good meal with lots of chat He will be going further North for a fortnights fishing this morning.

I managed to get a bit of grass cut yesterday so since it's still dry this morning we may take advantage and go over to mum's again today and try to get some more grass cut so I'm prepping a quick salad to take with us.

Looking good @Shas3

perhaps we should have a 'before and after' pic thread

Hope your day is treating you well

5.8 and another cloudy morning. Feeling a bit wonky, which is probably due to the fact that I went to bed hungry and woke up even hungrier.

I dreamed that Heartland's Grandpa Jack worked at a local opticians' and was helping me pick out some glasses.

I think tonight I will eat something before I go to bed.
 

Wow, Churchill must really love you. To give up his own bird-watching to keep you from getting on the work-walker!

I hope you had a good drive to Cornwall and are having a wonderful time there. Enjoy!

The KittenCat sends her best wishes to your girls. She recommends hunkering down and looking around at all that is going on around their cage/condo and, while taking note of any dogs, playing possum when they raise their voices. ^. .^
 

It is hard.

We need our legs and feet more than we think about. Actually we need all of our body!!

It does do an amazing job for us, the best it can

Take care and look after yourself.

Maybe fear of travelling to certain places but from my perspective proper fearless and immensely good humoured in dealing with the problems T1 throws at you. Fantastic to see the single figures for you.

I’ve liked your post for empathy

I have Neuropathy too and suffer it the same as you it’s blooming terrible as you’ll know.

Wish you well in the diabetic battle
 

Thank you.

My mother’s generation was the one that was hysterical over flying insects and kill everything that moves.

I still recall her hosting a Sunday lunch, when I was about 9 or 10 years old, where others (not family) were present and a wasp flew into the armhole of her sleeveless yellow dress. I have never seen anyone remove their clothes so fast. I think the lunch guests were a bit shocked...

@gennepher and @karen8967 I am certainly using my feet and legs, and taking steps today. I just got back from my walk to the drugstore across the road for the one prescription I get there. Now I am back here watching England vs Scotland, and thinking I will hang on with it for 5 more minutes before switching over to Magnum.

ETA: I was interested to read both your posts when I got home just now. I was dreading the walk over but it turned out to be very pleasant -- and the rain has stopped for now -- I had a very leisurely walk to the store and then coming home I picked up the pace. Yesterday on the way back from the grocery store I was being Sir Winston winning the Belmont Stakes.
 

My mother had a sleeveless yellow dress when I was little. I don't remember a wasp ever flying into the armhole of it but I do have a picture of her in it, with my sister and me, at the Sunday School pancake breakfast.
