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

Best wishes for JKP. I have had several of those explorations including polyp removal and found recent techniques have improved considerably. Prayers for a good result.
 
I had one a few weeks ago and had a polyp removed it was not too bad a bit uncomfortable but that’s all.
 
Same here Alexander would be a 7th great Grand uncle of a 1st cousin of mine.
We may be closer than I had thought. The story goes that Mary Bell, was the wife of Alexander's brother - I think his name was Thomas, but I'd have to look that up. It was a fight with her that caused Alexander to be brought before the kirk and which decided him to go away to sea. I gather he was a troublesome young man anyway and fought with lots of people within the family and the fight with Mary was the last straw. Tom was directly descended from Mary and "Thomas".

I believe Mary was married to his brother John which is the line that I am connected to directly.

Good morning everyone on what may be a bleaker day that just the grey sky here in the dark and dangerous north. Late up this morning. It’s pre bin day today so the first (and the last) thing on the list is empty all the little bins into the big bin and then, in the cover of darkness, trundle the big bin up to it’s designated position on the grass verge by the road. Yes, we have a grass verge. Some of which has trees on it - very quaint. Mrs Miggins will be getting the larger of the upstairs bedrooms ready for our pal who arrives from LA tomorrow - no, he didn’t vote as he is not a citizen of that place - merely a green card holder. Art bit - this year’s Remembrance. Hope your day improves as it trundles along. I should make Kory.

Thank you for sharing the art - very apt. Enjoy your time with your friend from the USA. The use of Kory made me chuckle as our friendly American neighbour has that first name but with a C - we take in lots of parcels. Blue bin day here tomorrow, I used the squasher yesterday - great fun. @gennepher thank you for the good wishes. All done, safely home and relaxing.

I gave yesterday's experience in the disabled toilet some thought. I did not quite go with the bar staff telling me oh it was just somewhat wanting to break open the lock to get in to use the toilet, despite it being occupied.
That corridor to that disabled toilet is in a deserted part of Wetherspoons, and no one would've heard me had somebody attacked me.
With hindsight, I cannot use that disabled toilet again and in consequence I cannot use that Wetherspoons pub.

I realise I am an old doddery disabled bent over lady, who probably looks like she would be a pushover if someone decided to mug her. Yes, I would give a good account of myself if needed. But I would much rather not be injured. So reluctantly, I have decided I'm going to have to curtail my activities outside the house. Which may basically see me turning into a hermit.

A lot of disabled toilets here, are not placed very well for the security of the disabled people who need to use them. That unfortunately is my deciding factor in going out.

Creative...no time today, except for a kaleidoscope with laboscope.
Stamps...

Have a good day.




 
Hug for feeling that you may need to be a hermit but hopefully your mind will come up with a solution, I do hope so. Thank you for sharing the video and kaleidoscope as they always appeal to me even though me and art are not natural allies.
 
Right you are - John. I knew Thomas was wrong but it was all I could dredge from my memory. The family lived in Lower Largo, Fife - and some are still there, I believe. At the time it would have been a very small fishing village.
 
@ianpspurs, glad to hear that the procedure is all done and it's just a matter of relaxing and waiting for the result now. In my case they did find some polyps which they took away during the procedure and no further treatment required. Trust it will be the same for JKP.
 
Another quick visit as it's weird Wednesday.
7.0mmols again.
We are all doomed!

Just thought that a photo would fill the void left by my non existent presence.

Thank you @Annb. They did find and remove a polyp and as a precaution sent samples for analysis but felt nothing would come of that. She is sleeping now as the prep and early - for her - start meant she had very little sleep. @Lamont D lovely neat and tidy garden and everyone understands your circumstances so post when you can or just lurk in any downtime. Besides, the lovely Debbie said it well - just swap we for I. There's no I in team - there is in winner.

so sorry to have missed the post about the polyp.
I hope your better half rests well and the polyp is benign @ianpspurs .

Went to podiatrist appointment for Mrs L.
Went ok, but there is concern.
Mrs L has already had her big toenails removed, not cos of the diabetes but cos of the abnormal growth of both nails, the lot of them resemble pyramids, and the big toenails were removed cos spreading into the skin and were very painful.
The podiatrist asked why the doctor didn't organise a home appointment.
And of course said we did.
So back on the phone tomorrow.
And just to add, it was really fun getting Mrs L there and back and after the footie is finished, my pit is calling me.

Must tell of the fun the ratbag had last night.
He was amazed at the noise, the light show, the spectacle.
I wish I had half of the excitement of that magic moment, but it was so great to enjoy it with him.
#7 recorded it for prosperity on her ipad. Or until it gets broke. Whatever is longer!
The other just enjoyed it.
There are a couple of YouTube videos about a huge bonfire and display which we could just about see from the footie pitches.

My bestest ever and evermore wishes to you lot forever and infinity.
Or him, will blow the world up.
Or will the ruski best him to it?
 
 
I found the preparation quite unpleasant too@ianpspurs but worth it to make the test more accurate. I hope all went well today.
 
That is such a shame @gennepher. I do hope that you find places to go where the disabled toilets are safe to use.
