What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Hugs for the people in NSW. It’s awful the weather changes going on all over the world. K

 

So hard to hold ourselves back, though .

Take good care of you x

 

A win for the steady 5's.

And a hug for those caught up in the floods .

 

While I can agree it may seem wasted I think it's an integral link in the circle of life.

Taking us from the heights of love to the pits of despair, without it, would damage too many, I fear

Grief, ..at the time.
Appreciation..for all we look back on.
Respect ...for sacrifice made, unknown to us
A guide ..for how a life could be lived
Teaching..for the day it's our turn
When it becomes time to complete our last goal
How to ease their loss , so they too can know how to..

Appreciate
Respect
Be guided
& Taught
To love, grieve, hold us tightly In their heart, yet still let us go & Go Live their best life .

Until it's their time to complete the circle.

Grief...yeah, mileage varies
But I think it serves a purpose, imho

 

Hi .
A fed days FBG's all high 6 or lo low 7
Steady as she goes I fear, but no nasty surprises and given the circumstances, unsurprising, really

Thank you @ianpspurs .

Recovery slower then expected in my eyes, at least.

Hand becoming a concern, grip & dexterity, after one week Shy of 3 months , not where I was hoping

And from what at the time was a seemingly simple injury (on the whole)

However better news, while walking is still assisted by gutter crutch, I am mobilising more each day, though it has to be said, everyday activities are more like a punishing gym session to which I have to assign a rest day, if I overdo it

BUT, in a determination to have & meet simple goals, I set myself to be back in the car end of this week & meet Steph for lunch one day.

Succeeded in the driving last Sunday, had wife's best friend's daughter (henceforth *neice )
Who has-been using car until she replaces hers.

Sit with my (just In case I tired ..one leg, & both arms injured , a rather unknown quantity, pushing, pulling, etc )

But drive went great.

So well in fact that today, I met our Steph

I missed her birthday dinner recently gone.
Not fit for a few hours in a restaurant .

So today we hit nandoes, a delicious dinner, a tiny bit of shopping
And the kicker....train strike here in the capital.
Steph off to Richmond no trains so ages on buses etc .

A quick check I was fine offering daddy-uber,
And just like that she was delivered safely.

And on returning home, A small pat on the back for myself, and a feeling of usefulness returns slightly ...

So yeah, slower in places, but one or two highlights, as well.

 

Thank you @dunelm

 

Good you are going to see to you first now @Granny_grump_

 

Thanks @Granny_grump_

 

Great brushstroke @dunelm and tiny detail.
Hope you got the excused note...

 

I am glad you drank your cuppas @ianpspurs

 

Fbg 6.5

Long difficult day yesterday.
It's going to be bed rest for me for today at least.

Creative is a kaleidoscope in Laboscope. Taken from my bed. Played with a tiny bit in Procreate and Snapseed.

Going back to sleep...

 

Another early start been awake since before 3am got up 3.45am
BG this morning was 7.1 only had a bowl of fresh fruit for my evening meal
But went out for lunch fresh salmon and prawn with dressing sandwich and shared a cake half each. K

 

Interesting colours in your kaleidoscope with kitty kat at top of pattern more subdued than vibrant but it works.
My home has lots of glass coloured two toned glass and crystal I’ve always had a fascination with glass and kaleidoscopes from being a child holding it up towards the light and seeing all those fantastic patterns evolve from every turn of the kaleidoscope.K

 

Thank you gennepher K

 

Hopefully you have managed to get more sleep it’s a great healer, Says she!!!!.K

 

Fbg 9.4

My numbers appear high only in the mornings.
Any suggestions why this would be case?

 

I haven’t thought of Australia as being a particularly rainy place but the images from around Brisbane look pretty bad.

 

Welcome @Nodemus - a high. Are you comparing that to your average over time? Could be a number of things - diet, exercise, medication, stress, sometimes the great unknown. What are your usual readings?

 

Sorry yes my readings are between 8-13 in the mornings
it’s only recently started to get below 13 I’m trying to understand why they seem high in the morning. I don’t eat after 10pm or 9pm.

 

Well it’s all moving along and congratulations on your recovery so far. Steady away. Don’t let the horse bolt. Hand - how are you exercising it? Something to squeeze perhaps (tennis ball or something) and maybe something to practice dexterity - I have a pair of steel Chinese Baoding balls to swivel about - don’t drop them on your foot.
