Yes, your doctor is so right. You have done incredibly well @jjraak

A run of low 7's now seems this fortnights norms
Appointment with a specialist this morning, checking out my recovery bone wise, etc.
A nice nod to my 'determination' & 'made great efforts' in his voice notes for his teport.
Sometimes we need a good slap to wake us up.
His opinion did that, as I chatted just before leaving about being so disappointed his notes confirmed he doesn't expect me to get back to full health....
in his words "it was a particularly nasty accident, & some horrific injuries' you have come back from, so don't be so dismissive."
Suitably chastened, I now see why the broken window syndrome & tree/woods ideas are so pervasive.
sometimes we need to pan out to get the full picture
A little gloom lifted as I mulled that over tonight.
"Play some tunes, Alexa," led to a pic & mix of various years (times in India really, dancing on the beach ..happy days )
This one came around.
Someone trying to tell me something...?
Either way, boosted my mood.
Won't lie, I sang the chorus with a little too much gusto while waiting for the kettle to boil.
Games not over, but it's nice getting that late goal, to take the game into extra time ..
Come on, Raak FC, You've got this, the inner crowd roars
I phoned the GP's surgery this morning and am waiting for her to call back. No idea when that will be so I have the telephone in my pocket, just in case she calls just when I'm trying to get to the toilet, or something. Sods law! (Am I allowed to use that expression?) Keeping going with ordinary paracetamol just now.Morning all from Lower Otter's Pocket although just now it isn't raining. No fbg here this Salmonday - crispy skin essential. [B]@Annb thinking of you and the new pain. Have you contacted the GP?[/B] @alf_Josiah some mixed messaging in that post hence the hug. @dunelm all the best for the asthma clinic and thanks for sharing the art. It evoked strong memories of a Friday evening on a weekend trip to Paris in my student days. @Krystyna23040 Poppy must have enjoyed all the attention. Peace be with you all.
I hope the GP call comes at a convenient time and offers a better pain relief option. Earthy law's are or should be allowable. A memorable but vaguely off colour quip on the burial of a man from my home village comes to mind: one ess oh dee below another. Harsh but not untrue I'm afraid because all have gone astray just a matter of how far.I phoned the GP's surgery this morning and am waiting for her to call back.

BG was 8.8 at 0300 but is down to 6.3 now.
So sorry to hear that heart felt condolences to you and your familyGood morning. I now find myself in a position that I can share with you my experiences for the past 2 1/2 weeks. We received a call from mum's nursing home at 6AM to say they'd called for an emergency ambulance as mum's vital signs were all over the place and she was really poorly. We rushed to A&E and met the ambulance there. We spent a while in the ambulance with mum while they did an ECG etc. A cardiologist came to the ambulance to ask for a more detailed ECG as mum's heart was so bad.They rushed her straight through to majors and carried out tests. The cardiologist said mum had a heart block and her heart would not beat above 40. She also told us that she had never seen infection indicators so high but a scan had shown her chest to be clear. They moved her to an assessment ward and then to an elderly care ward where they administered intravenous antibiotics and a fluid drip for several days. As she was not eating/ drinking we were asked to be with her at each meal time to encourage her and increase her fluid intake. So we have been at the hospital every day since assisting her and reassuring her. On Monday I was told that mum had not responded to treatment so was now on palliative care. Today it was planned to transfer mum back to her nursing home for palliative care subject to the doctor's checks and I asked to accompany her in the ambulance. Yesterday she took a turn for the worse, suffered a great deal which was torturous to witness and only when she settled to sleep I was persuaded to go home to rest as I was exhausted and needed to be fit enough to be with mum today. Soon after we reached home we got a call saying mum was taking her last breaths! We dashed back to mum's ward just too late. My mind is all over the place this morning and we are truly devastated and exhausted. Sorry but I needed to off -load my mind so that I can deal with what is yet to come. Thanks for "listening". My best wishes to you all as always.
Such sad news for you. I'm sure all our thoughts and prayers go with you. Don't apologise for the need to share and don't hesitate to do so again. God be with you now and always.Good morning.

If you have not yet made the decision, and there is an animal rescue centre within reach, they would probably be grateful for these.Considering what to do with a pile of brushed cotton sheets. Haven't used them in years but will I in future? Probably not. Are they fit for passing on without any repairs which would waste time that I don't have at present. So keep meantime or just dump? Decisions, decisions.

This is an amazing series @dunelmGood morning everyone on a bit of a damp squib here in the dark and dangerous north - still, no white stuff on the weather stone. 5.7 this am and then climbing like an English Electric Lightning up into the gaze of the Hubble lens. There is some shopping to do today - I love a good shop - wander up and down every isle for some indoor exercise but only buy what’s on the tightly clutched list. Then the butcher’s emporium and, maybe, a break in the fast in a waited upon scenario - we’re very Bo-eemium. Asthma review this afternoon. Art bit - another go at a street scene before I switch modes and go off on another tangent. Hope today is minimum on the snowman building scene. I really ought to have more koffy - well, as long as it’s before noon.

So sorry at your tragic news. It's very reminiscent of how my mother's life ended in 1985. It's a shattering experience and I do so sympathise with you. My deepest and heartfelt condolences. Sharing your feelings here is a very useful way of working through all that has happened.Good morning.

Sadly, no animal rescue centre here. There used to be a cat rescue centre, but that seems to have disappeared in the last few years.If you have not yet made the decision, and there is an animal rescue centre within reach, they would probably be grateful for these.
GP called and thinks it may be yet another infection so - more antibiotics. Have to get those tomorrow and take them for another week.I hope the GP call comes at a convenient time and offers a better pain relief option. Earthy law's are or should be allowable. A memorable but vaguely off colour quip on the burial of a man from my home village comes to mind: one ess oh dee below another. Harsh but not untrue I'm afraid because all have gone astray just a matter of how far.
