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

Splendid digital painting. You could try silicone gel or onion extract on scar tissue and perhaps Vaseline to help keep tissue soft - sun tan lotion will help prevent burning. Wear armored gloves and goggles.

Thanks very much @dunelm
Because I already use Ambre Solaire sun cream, I figured he would know that smell. So put a dollop on my palm and went in for the kill...no hesitation...
I had one totally ecstatic cat lying helplessly on the ground uttering purrs of an extremely, er...ecstatic nature. He did not want me to stop massaging his left ear. He didn't want me to do the right ear, which is his complete ear. Although I put a bit on. I was massaging what was left of his left ear for more than five minutes...

I'll figure out your other suggestions later. I think I got off lightly there!

I am even more against the so called 'humane' people who cut off the left ear to show they have neutered the cat.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and the ride out and meal were splendid although we did end up in Whitby.

A magical mystery tour.Was whitebait to be had? Enjoy France. If my body is ever compliant I would dearly love at least one more visit to the Perigord Noir although common sense and relationship counselling dictate myself and JKP shouldn't canoe along the Dordogne anymore. Watching other people struggle to negotiate the waterfall at Brantome , from a suitable cafe, would work well. Foie Gras salad with Montbazziliac in Sarlat and Ostrich with Camenbert in St Emillion appeal far more than anything Diet Dr offers.

Sounds good the planned trip to France.
I hope the travelling all goes smoothly @dunelm

Great rocky cliffs at bit!
It is almost a sheer cliff!
 

Now THAT café scene paints a lovely picture
Mmhh almost feel & taste it.

I guess the canoe was akin to teaching someone to drive ?
Always a risk to a relationship..

Enjoy the day

Which just proves that when you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there

Sounds like a good day out.

Nice idea on the french trip .

You & @ianpspurs have made me hungry for some nice french food ..mmmhh

Maybe you'll bump into @SlimLizzy on your travels

Have a good day
 
Morning
Still no BG this week.

Early wake up this morning.

Lauren hurt leg muscle yesterday or previous
We have furry nephew staying who she normally walks into work with her

But the early wake up was because she doesn't feel comfortable walking so far today,. So can I doggie sit .....no problemo.

She left , he snuggled up onto bed and we both dropped off to sleep again....


A few weeks back ...I asked for All my medical records after accident,
To assist me with solicitors

Arrived yesterday.. electronically
Mmhhh.

Some horrifying ..(police & ambulance reports included )

Some quite dry and bland.

But omg, reading deep into the notes, etc

I'd suggest never having a major accident OR having what seems a Total body scan .

Various sites checked as bits of me damaged or broken on the day was quite extensive obv.

But it was the 'oh, by the way....' notes included underneath of some reports.that caught my eyes .

Let's just say, ANY incident or injury you ever had leaves a mark and I guess at some point as we age becomes more 'worn'.

And IF you have ever googled some obscure sounding condition anyone's ever mentioned to you....you'll know the rabbit holes doing so, can take you down..

Calming myself down, trying to grade each titbit of information into 'oh interesting to 'holy '..

Not how I thought I'd be spending yesterday .

Still trying to balance how lucky I am to have had (accident not included obviously )
Such a deep survey beyond the skin WITH weighing up just how worthy it is worrying too much about it

Good to know, if I get aches & pains later on in life I can maybe throw a few ideas with merit into the mix


Off to walk Frankie, suns out but its cloudy
Perfect for our needs


Enjoy the day
 
Sounds like your medical records were quite scary to read @jjraak.

Indeed at first

But then i settled down.
Some wear and tear expected
As we travel over the bumps in life

I'm a rather old model, even if a classic.

( Though it's sort of nice to think we're unique, that would make me just a prototype... )

But honestly doubt if many of a certain age would get anywhere Near a clear report if opportunity allowed

I take solace in being in the majority
 
Whitebait was to be had. Got to love a Fox Gras salad but will the Monbazillac frighten your blood sugars? I have a bottle of Royal Tokaji that has been sitting in the cupboard for the past few years, too frightened to open it! I like St Emillion, the town. Prices of wine there can be frightening. Vrac is the way to go.

Thank you @gennepher we will be traveling in our little Smart car. The last time we went to Europe in our last Smart car, we did 9 countries in 21 days without making any plans and just stopping at places that took our fancy.
 
Thanks. I am looking forward to salade de gésiers and we will be stocking up on tins of confit du canard. Well, as much as you can get in a Smart car.
 
Sorry to hear that Lauren has hurt a leg muscle- a massage will hopefully sort it out. All those notes and scan pictures may be a bit of a fright but work forward and rejoice in the progress.
 
Hugs as well for the readings of yesterday @jjraak

When I got my medical records (because of an issue), under freedom of information act from a few years ago back to 1971 (no earlier ones were available), it was like reading someone else's medical records...I never knew that...no one told me about that condition...I never got treatment from my GP for that...and so on. But it did make sense and gave me reasons why. Mine were photocopies of microfiche files. A lot.

Make sure you keep your electronic paperwork safe. Keep it backed up in a few different places. It will be important at some time.

More gentle hugs for you...

I like to keep my glass half full

But as you know well enough it's not always easy ..

But when I'm down I just think what would my hero say...?

Exactly

And it was a BIG reminder of when I got DX for T2..
I traced back over 9 years bloods and no one had suggested they were poor
Even once I changed to the EWD (eatwell & die) diet...it was still poor

The only time it improved was on LCHF ..who'd a thunk it ......

But forewarned is forearmed
So they say.
 
Yes, you are right. Not many of us would get anywhere near a clear report.
 
One other thing @jjraak
About those electronic records you have.

Now with my records, one thing I was doing was I was trying to trace some important x-rays from around 10 years previously. Every department said no trace of these x-rays. I had to employ a patient's advocate. Between the two of us it took nearly a year to trace that the x-rays had taken place. But then came the bad news for me. The x-rays had been destroyed, Apparently, so they said, the department destroyed all x-rays after 10 years. These x-rays were vitally important for something I was fighting at the time.

If I had known this, I would have asked for copies of the x-rays, and it would have made my life much easier and simpler.

And so my advice is this. Get copies of every x-ray to do with your accident. and guard them with your life. They could be the make or break thing for something in your life in the future. The fact that there are words written about them in the digital reports you have, actually mean diddly squat. Because another doctor/legal expert can interpret those words in a completely different way.

You possibly think by reading the words about your accident, that it is cut and dried/black and white on what happened. But I can assure you (based on my experience) that they are not. Words can be manipulated to mean something different, depending on the agenda of the person involved with it. You need those x-ray pictures in your hands.

Just my take on this, based on my experience.
