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

Luckily, the funeral service was recorded and I was sent a link to the video. It's not the same as being there, but it was a nice service and quite a few people attending - even more watching online, it seems. A lot of music. I've already written my funeral service, to make sure I get what I want, and I've specified no music - the stuff that I like, nobody else would and I don't want what I don't like to be played. I would have things like "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and such like, and mediaeval music - not everyone's taste. Might change my mind though, and ask them to play "Ae Fond Kiss", words by Robert Burns. Maybe even record it myself to be played at the end. That should get the tears flowing.

Got back from getting my jabs and promptly fell asleep in the chair. Woke up at 11.35 - missed the funeral service! Idiot!

I'm calling myself idiot for all sorts of things these days - beginning to wonder about my progress towards dementia. But, I suppose, if I am aware of it, it can't be too bad yet. I forget things, I sleep in the day, off and on, I fumble things, I wobble when I try to walk. Are these all signs, I ask myself. "Don't know" myself answers with a shrug. Not sure I can do anything about it anyway - except apologise to Neil in advance.

You can possibly @Annb still watch the funeral service. The online ones that I have watched I have watched a few days later after the funeral itself.

5.9 this morning.

Mr K 's appointment with the Consultant went really well. The treatment plan has worked so well that not only can the op take place early December but it won't be such an invasive op. The swelling and inflammation has gone down significantly and his body has began to heal.

Morning all from a dreary L.A. where my fbg was 4.6 when I checked at 8.30 and bg is now, 11.00 am, 5.0 after various tasks and some tea. @dunelm busy day ahead but TGIB will sweeten the pill of the expenditure. My day will definitely include hot beverages. JKP had to collect 2 grandchildren from near Ely as mum and dad forgot today was a teacher training day. Weren't these Baker Days back in the day? @alf_Josiah two wonderful presents, enjoy. @Krystyna23040 yesterday sounds lovely for you, your sister, Bonnie and Lexi. How is Mr K? @gennepher thank you for sharing another of those splendid pieces from your sketchbook. The plan to try to come to an agreement to give disabled people an extension on the parking time seems perfectly equitable. @Annb I hope the jabs go well and the live stream works for you. I must help the nation deal with the peanut butter and Jarlsberg cheese mountain very soon. Thoughts and prayers for all finding today's commute or work on UK transport extra stressful and for the brave man who put himself in harm's way on Saturday.

Thank you @ianpspurs - Mr K is definitely in much less pain.
We are both feeling a lot happier after his appointment with the Consultant for

Having cared for Mr K 's dad, who had dementia, I don't think they are signs of dementia @Annb

Not surprising that you are tired during the day as pain keeps you awake at night. We all forget things, especially when we are in pain or stressed.

Reading your posts I have never seen any signs that they are written by someone who has the start of dementia.

That's great news @Krystyna23040. Best wishes for Mr K for December and wishes for a fast recovery.

Thanks for that Krystyna. The brain is definitely getting old though, as is everything else. That's life though so we just have to get on with it.
