That was nice of the guy in the van to help Melody @JohnEGreenThank you gennepher yes feeling a lot better but not fully recovered yet.
One effect of the reaction has been a bad rash on my face looked rather like severe sunburn and itching all over had been scratching so much that my arm is covered in scratches where I had actually caused my arm to bleed.
Yesterday had an appointment for wound dressing the nurse took one look at me and insisted I see one of the doctors so had to hang about in the surgery till one of the doctors was available who prescribed me some ointment for my face.
I had ridden my scooter to the doctors but when just short of the surgery the battery ran out of charge while I was in the doctors Melody decided to try and push the scooter home luckily a guy who was passing bye stopped got out of his van and helped her get it home there are some genuinely nice people around. Keiran picked me up in the car after I had seen the doctor. Bit of a day really.
Doesn't sound like the best of days, John. However, it ended well. Just hope you get back to normal fairly quickly. Good on that man who stopped to help out.Thank you gennepher yes feeling a lot better but not fully recovered yet.

Good to hear that you are able to walk a bit more. Don't overdo it though.6.3 this morning. Almost forgot to post.
Had a lovely walk with Poppy this afternoon. Posted a couple of cards to the USA and Canada at our local post office while on the walk. Ankle definitely getting stronger.
Thanks Ian, and for the lyrics...Morning all on a reasonably sunny and calm start to the Feast of St Nicolas of Myra here in L.A.. Slightly hard to reconcile with an Advent fast, perhaps fish instead of meat is the clue - at least for a Friday. I'll have the salmon please waiter. @gennepher hug for the tiredness, winner for the shelving being completed. Thank you for sharing the video and kaleidoscope. How kind but typical from what I have gleaned of you to do that for D. @dunelm thank you for sharing Krampus Night and today's art which seems so much more hopeful for the addition of more red. Have a safe journey to Birmingham and back, obviously. @JohnEGreen big hugs for yesterday and my sincere sympathy for itching - the urge to scratch is very strong, I know only too well. I pray the cream works well and quickly. Too wet, windy and cold for JKP to push a 94 year old around Merry Mildenhall last evening and road closures meant getting to the church was not on. My contribution to all the sharing and caring on here is this: Bing and David say Hi ; Lyrics The weekend weather looks to be a problem for all sorts of events so we may not traverse The Fens for Ely Cathedral's Big Christmas tree lights switch on extravaganza . It will be live on Youtube anyhow. Enjoy your Friday as far as lies within your power.
I thought for a while today that I was going to be cut off from you all for a bit - my Bluetooth connection for my keyboard failed so I couldn't even key in a password to get into the forum, or anything else for that matter. I just had to wait though, for Neil to surface (after another late night) and he has just sorted it out for me, connecting to another Bluetooth link on the PC. I didn't know there was one so could do nothing when the keyboard failed. I am so lucky to have him around.
I ceded my bedroom to a spider again last night. Earlier in the evening, I found quite a large spider in my bedroom and scooped it up with my spider catcher for Em to put out for me (I was having difficulty moving at all just then, after legs bandaging day) but when I went to go to bed, there was another high up in the corner, just where my spider catcher wouldn't reach. Neil was quiet and I thought he'd gone to sleep, so didn't want to wake him to evict a spider for me and decided to sleep in the kitchen. However, I had just settled into my chair with a blanket when Neil appeared, so he dealt with the spider for me and I went to my own bed after all.
Got my DNA results back from Ancestry today - a bit disappointing really since it is very vague giving a result of 73% North West European. Well, that was fairly obvious any way. However, it did give me 3% Icelandic, 3% French and 15% Germanic. As Neil pointed out, these figures don't mean that none of the 73% is French, just that the 3% is found mainly in France, amongst all the rest. The Norwegian content is smaller than anticipated. I don't know that the information has advanced my knowledge by very much, but I wonder who the Icelanders were.
BG at 04.00 was 6.5. My changed dose of basal insulin seems to be working.
EDIT: Alistair was in with the mail and he said he had been reading that some Icelanders have a trace of some very ancient DNA - some of the first out of Africa seem to have arrived in Iceland without mutating. That's a puzzle. How did those ancient folk get there? Probably indirectly, but even so...
Good to hear that the Antihistamine is working well.Judith got her result today turns out hers is 48% Scottish 44% England and North Western Europe 2% wales 2% Iceland 4%Germanic Europe the Icelandic DNA surprised her.
Turned out the prescription was for Antihistamine rather than ointment and that has helped a lot.
Found this person in my family tree a little while ago been mentioned a couple of times on here recently.

Very good advice @Annb.Good to hear that you are able to walk a bit more. Don't overdo it though.
I was just going to suggest that, and then I came to this message, so you've sorted it @JohnEGreenJust reinstalled app.
I do hope that there isn't too much damage to your garden @gennepher.I just opened my kitchen door, 7am, and I am blocked in with fencing debris and more...
I cannot get out...
I could WhatsApp the couple across the road except for one thing..my wrought iron gate is locked with a combination lock, and a Yale lock (to stop thieves).
Sigh...
I will wait until daylight and see if I can shift it....
I have not looked out into my back garden yet, I don't want to....
I did have this silly notion, that I would go and post my Christmas cards in the postbox this morning. Not a hope in wotsit.... the postman probably would not be collecting anything from the postbox this morning anyway...
I think I'll go and cook some sausages for my breakfast at least I've got electric power....
We had red warnings yesterday for wind and rain. But the day yesterday was relatively ok and it was relatively okay until I went to Bed, but this morning we have orange alerts for wind and yellow alerts for rain...
I really don't want to see what other damage I might have.... and this damage was when it was orange alert for wind...
