Try eating white beans the are much better than bananas which are full of carbs.Just back from town after an extra blood test. A student nurse took the blood and actually did a very good job of finding a vein and emptying it. Much quicker and pretty well pain-free than usual.
The ice on the car was solid and it took Neil ages to clear it. I thought we might be late for the appointment, but we got there before the nurse was available anyway.
BG was 7.9 at 03.45 today but came down into the 5's, which is where it has remained ever since. At least, it was but I just had a digestive biscuit with a cup of tea, so it may have risen now.
If my potassium remains low, I might have to go back to eating avocados and bananas to push it up a bit. Not sure if that will help if it's my kidneys that are causing the problem though. We'll see, no doubt.
I love these new art bits @dunelmGood morning everyone on a cold and silent start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. A whimsical change of direction on our usual long walk yesterday which takes in the lower prom. So, coming up from sea level through the woods is like climbing the west face of the Eiger compared to coming up our usual and more gentle ascend. Came up through the Victorian valley gardens in the middle of the woods as there are steps with hand rails - and more steps, and more steps …..Total of 6 miles, then an early night which is probably why I was up at just before 6am. So, took advantage of the hour to do some reading. Mrs Miggins tells me that she is going on a bedding hunt this morning with her twin sister (is there a sale on somewhere?). Also, they are going to the library, the location here that deals with applications to join the bus pass club - I know, they are mere spring chickens and no, I did not imitate Jerry Lee Lewis. Art bit - trees, again. Hope your day is as pleasant as you can make it. How is it going up in the wilds @lindisfel? Must make koffy and consolidate a list of chores to ignore.
Oh dear @JohnEGreenMinor miracle happened twice yesterday had to drive to the doctors as my mobility scooter is being repaired and was able to park in the car park then in the afternoon had to go to the doctors again and again almost immediately was able to park the car again to be able to do that once let alone twice in one day is nothing short of miraculous.
Doctor refused me pain killers as he wants to sort things out one at a time and decided that my having been unable to eat properly for some while because of the constant feeling of nausea making it impossible to eat a full meal so have been living off protein shakes for weeks so have been given anti sickness tablets and to solve the dry mouth and altered taste has given me saliva spray.
The nurse who changed my wound dress became a little concerned about what she perceived as a degeneration in my general condition insisted on making me a doctors appointment for the afternoon henc to trips to the surgery yesterday.
hope you had a better night.Just checking through the e-mails before I go to bed. I shouldn't because I'm feeling awful and should just give up but coming to the pc to shut it down, I saw that there were messages on the forum and couldn't resist. Tomorrow's another day - if I make it through the night. Maybe I've caught Alistair's lurgi! Night all.
Oh mate, do let us know how you get on.Minor miracle happened twice yesterday had to drive to the doctors as my mobility scooter is being repaired and was able to park in the car park then in the afternoon had to go to the doctors again and again almost immediately was able to park the car again to be able to do that once let alone twice in one day is nothing short of miraculous.

Apparently @ianpspurs I have violated TikTok rules and regulations with that video. So they have removed it. I do not have a clue of how I have violated rules and regulations on TikTok video a wildlife video of a badger and later pigeon. It is wildlife for goodness sake yet pictures of suggestive parts are allowed of humans....Posts keep appearing, disappearing and moving around so this might not reflect reality which is very much the zeitgeist. @dunelm thank you for sharing your art and the article. Huge respect for your walking and the fact you have relearned to walk twice. @gennepher thank you for sharing the kaleidoscope and video: I was told the video was currently unavailable on tiktoc. @jjraak hugs for the difficulty arranging the necessary help to achieve your very sensible goals but winner for what your determination has achieved. Enjoy Goa. @Lamont D what a kind and moving post in reply to @jjraak. Interesting points about pain. Currently my issue is numbness, due to stenosis, which renders me unable to stand still and makes moving so much fun rather than anything I would describe as pain so I couldn't score that. I have all sorts of sticks, poles and pills but they are mainly useless so I just smile and wave. Nordic walking poles are the closest to useful. MIL reckons gout is up there with Champions league pains and she has had 2 children, 2 hip replacements and a knee replacement.
Right I have posted it on You Tube Ian...Apparently @ianpspurs I have violated TikTok rules and regulations with that video. So they have removed it.

I am allowed 24 points of violations. You can get more than one point per violation and this is in a 90 day period and then you can get a permanent ban.
Obviously, I have put in an appeal telling them they are wrong....
Give me 10 minutes and I'll try and post it on YouTube....
That is why I keep missing posts, someone keeps shuffling them up....I'm with @ianpspurs, the posts are not in order.
Maybe the thread is too big or too long??
A tea soaked 6.7 this a.m..
In midst of fasting. Now into..............trying to work out with a pencil....... Yep, 42 hours and fifty minutes. I'm going to test before I eat later. But my energy levels are really good. Feel quite good and stomach out by has abated.
tea demanded, gotta go.
I shall return, if I can.
Best wishes
Very kind of you to say so, but I think that's true of many of us on here, dealing with the less charming versions of life as we know it , yourself included John .Fbg 5.8 this morning.
@jjraak your a hero mate and a trip to Goa wow How I envy you those famous beach parties
Will it be this?
