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

Around the centre and main road by the stadium from the railway line last time I was there, the shops have been modernised but the housing is still mostly two up, two down. Tight streets. Run down area. Into the outer areas, suburbs. Are quite nice.
There is a culvert down one side, there is not much else other the cramp housing. Never travelled by train through Lincoln.
The goods train industry around the Wirral has completely disappeared. I grew up around the docks area, many of my neighbours were dockers.
After Beeching, then containerisation, and of course Thatcher priority to go by road. Has decimated the railway.
Take care Derek.
 
That amount of work is incredibly demanding and really time consuming.

I trained/coached youngsters in sport, even though it is teaching in some respect.
You can get too absorbed in the things you are trying to achieve.
After 20years plus of coaching the little ones, as they grew, were then going into adult footie. It was time for many reasons to hang up my boots.
From what you have posted, I believe you can't be too bad yourself!
 
6.8 this morning.
The wife damaged her pad accidentally, so I've been down to get it sorted, found a trek DVD that I didn't have! It was really cheap as well, a whole series! got a couple of ham thanks for us. It is a cheap meal with a bit of salad. Some up very early in pain, my neck and hip area, but has eased since going out and doing my routine of exercises. Still not got any appointments, yet.!
TGIF, Have a lovely weekend!
 
I know what is happening, I was told a few months ago that I need surgery on my neck, they would like to fuse, the area, which has spondylitis, the discs are wearing away. It has eased through exercise. But my pitfall, is that I would have to be more of less immobile for up to at least three months! How am I gonna do that as I'm the wife's carer. Can't afford help, the family all work!
I should get another assessment, in a couple of months, let's see what that turns up.
Have they suggested a neck brace?
 
No - the only options offered were surgery to fuse the area or surgery to remove the disc. Don't quite get it myself - removing the disc would just lead to more pain from what I can understand. My husband had lower back pain from his youth and it was eventually found that vertebrae in his lumbar spine had fused themselves. Way back then, there would have been nothing they could have done anyway. DIL's problem is that the offending vertebrae and disc are very high in her neck and in a dangerous position for surgery. But they do have to try in order to avoid her being crippled for the rest of her life.

Yes but what you do for your clients is just the same and you would do all that, probably more, if you were a school teacher - and others here. After a while many things - targets, learning styles, important data, seating plans, don't change. IT made things easier. I think the point is if one wants excellent outcomes and guide/develop others in any profession one has to walk the walk. Of course, some people don't/won't want to do the work. They usually can't understand why their classes/sales figures/whatever are "troublesome." Must make the job so miserable for them. I also couldn't/can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be rated outstanding at anything they do. Burn out rate for middle and senior leaders has increased rapidly over the last two decades. Amazing how senior teachers age facially from day one September to middle of the month.

I do hope that she does not have to wait too long for this surgery and will lead to a very favourable outcome for her.

Oh drat @lindisfel - I do hope that they can get you another appointment quickly. Meantime perhaps short but often walks to help with mobility.

Thank you @ianpspurs. I do need some idea of how it will turn out and a bit of charcoal lightly applied can help to set things out.
 
Wasn't he the guy who wanted every body to do A level maths?
 
14 cans a day? Nearly as daft as saying that you can eat a pound of Brazil nuts before you die of stupidity. 1 can a day is 1 can too many for me.
