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

[Krystyna23040]

Morning all on another day with the prospect of 23°C in the deep, deep blue Eatanswill heartlands for vote early, vote often day episode one. @JohnEGreen I hope all goes well today. @Annb I hope leg day goes well. bandaging not the gym I guess. I hope Neal can persuade the powers that be to change the location to nearer home. @Krystyna23040 good news on a more leisurely Thursday. @gennepher thank you for sharing another example of your amazing skill with those quick sketches. Remember to do your duty and save our Rishi or goodness knows who the backwoodsmen will foist upon us even for a few months. The Dark Lord returns?? Be afraid, be very afraid.

Thank you @ianpspurs. It is so good to have more time to do stuff

Good afternoon everyone from a once sun shining day here in the dark and dangerous north. A very good, uneventful journey home yesterday with trains, trams, planes etc., all lining up nicely. First chore on return - coup de grass - it’s garden bin day today so, to appease the frantic local lawn trimmers of the bowling green gods - there, done. Well, as much as it does when I do it. Think old mechanical hair clippers in the hands of a blind person with arthritic hands. I suppose I could stick a little notice in the ground declaring a display of local rare meadow flowers and grasses and just leave it all be. But, that would spoil the joy of rooting about with small garden implements whilst displaying knee pads, fancy gloves, a floppy hat and a trug for Mrs Miggins. I still fancy tall grasses and then we could have a lion to help keep down the neighbours. Not much else done since returning from an hour into the future but did manage a quick sketch of yet another tree - there are lots of them about I am told. Hope your day is going well. Wonder if should have an afternoon koffy?

Well colonoscopy all done slight hiccup or two firstly I stop at reception and notify them of my arivy ok mister Green I have booked you in make your way to the ct waiting area an hour later I am still waiting so I ask one of the nurses Have I been forgotten answer who are you your not on our list receptionist had booked me in but neglected to notify the radiologists so they where blissfully unaware of my existence that got sorted second hiccup the inability they had in getting a cannulae into vein both arms tried then finally succeeded in back of hand then the realisation that as I have MG I cannot have buscopan so that’s going to make things a lot more uncomfortable which it was anyway now at home with a coffee and food.

@dunelm good news on the stress free journey. Thank you for sharing another example of your skill in tree drawing/painting. Are you not participating in no mow May? Not to be confused with that infamous headline - no mo May. @JohnEGreen hug for the poorly run colonoscopy.

Extra hugs for all the horrible wait and discomfort the poorly run receptionist staff caused you @JohnEGreen

Gorgeous tree @dunelm

Afternoon coffee? Yes!

7.8 at 06.30 today. Late up but I didn't get to bed until 01.00 this morning. Leg day today so will have to get going soon - my appointment is not until 15.00, so no rush today.

Hope your appointment goes well @Annb

 

[Annb]

Just back. Legs all trussed up again for another week. Delivered a urine sample to Reception at the Health Centre and just received a phone call from them to say there is a prescription being e-mailed to our pharmacy for more antibiotics - they've found another (or the same) UTI. Not going to get it now but will ask Alistair to pick it up for me tomorrow when he delivers mail to the pharmacy. Could that have caused all this trouble? I wouldn't know. I really dislike taking antibiotics. but if I have to, I have to...

Shame they couldn't get their act together John. More left hand/right hand disco-ordination (I don't think that is a word, but it should be, meaning something more than unco-ordination with a hint of ineptitude). Hope you are feeling allright now though. At least it's over and done and you can have food and the all important coffee.

 

[SlimLizzy]

Quite right. The bin was the best place for them. Odd that it is a 12 year-old though.

Or maybe not a 12 year old. Are the personal details verified?

Turns out that dis (or dys) coordinated is a word but it doesn't mean what I think it should. There should be a word for my definition though.

No idea. They are supposed to be by the parent/grown up. But I would've said the writing was not they of a 12 year old...I reported all that...
It is a pity people have to sully/spoil things @SlimLizzy

 

[Krystyna23040]

Had a brilliant day today. Got lots of work done and still had time to do some reading and take Poppy for a walk in the sunshine this afternoon.

Zoom is up and running ready for the evening classes.

Good that you had a lovely time away @dunelm and that you had a good and uneventful journey home.

6.4 this Thursday.
Today was heavenly.
Twenty degrees, blue skys, with a little breeze.
Beautiful.
#7 & #8 came around, played on footie pitches, let's hurting now.
Voted, safe seat for our mayor.
Shopped, Mrs L wanted some fresh stuff. I got some salad.
Also bought a small rose bush as the bluebells and daffs beginning to fade now. And there is a space developing.

Watched the first in a new series called 'The Bletchley Circle' it was on Drama channel. I enjoyed it.

It was just nice to sit and play in the sunshine.

More please.

Nice trees and figures as per.
Hugs for those who battle with hospitals for treatment.
And of course those who have really noisy neighbours. When the sun comes out, and then don't sit in the garden. Like mine!!

My best wishes to all you lot.

 

[JohnEGreen]

Got some brilliant neighbours lady next door comes round most days in the evening and sits with us as her husband has to work in the evening and since her stroke she doesn’t want to be on her own when she had a big party for her 50th birthday a few years ago we were invited.
And there is an elderly lady across the way from us who always keeps an eye out for my bedroom light coming on as she says when I turn the light on she knows all is well if she doesn’t see me around she gets worried and asks Melody if I’m alright very nice person.

Awake at 4.00 am today thanks to a couple of thunderclaps. FBG 4.7 mmols/l on rising at 6.00 am.

Thank you for sharing another lightning, one line squiggle @gennepher. As always, you've captured the shape and movement of that Michelin figure.
