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

Also late on parade, hope jankers(?) isn't the punishment!
7.2, but up half the night, simply because Mrs L wanted to be up and about then.
Lots of washing clothes and bed linen, and usual chores to do on a Thursday that was as usual busy.
The freezer was at last taken away. The carer was late. Much late.
I had my last session of my fourth bout of counselling. I did get quite a lot out of it. But it didn't really ease my anxiety about the present and of course the future. Especially of how I can cope with Mrs L.
Without doing more damage mentally and physically to myself.
I'm tired and I'm watching the arrows and wasps.
Goodnight all.
Just thought, that is a great name for a pub. If one exists any more!
Best wishes.

Fbg 6.8 for thursday

Kaleidoscope
I thought things could improve today, but I am no further ahead than yesterday and I need to bring something else into this. I will explain properly but I have no time at all at the moment. I have had no time to do my tidying for about two or three weeks now . I am falling behind on everything. ...

I had...

No idea what I had....
I fell into a deep sleep and never posted this...

Painkillers didn't help. It's been a bad night. Poor Neil has had to come and lift me out of the chair a few times (toilet won't come to me for some inexplicable reason). I don't dare eat anything or even drink much. It's more painful than I thought it could be and much more debilitating. Hands are still working, if painfully, but the shoulders aren't co-operating. Neil says I need a riser/recliner chair whereas mine is only a recliner. Don't think I can afford that though.

Sorry - still in moaning mode.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.

Instead of posting my blood sugars, I might drink proper cafetière koffy. Yep koffy made and poured out, only 1/2 a mug.
@gennepher I found your posting funny, falling asleep is my trick also. Now I must go and drink my koffy before I fall asleep and wake up to cold koffy again ‍

This afternoon I have to darken the dressing nurses door, they always know its me, because I knock 3 times and ask for Cecil.

Be good all, somebody has to, I’m not ‍

Drat fell asleep again.

And a real nice surprise this afternoon. An early chrimbo present, so to speak.
My grandson #2 dropped in as he was local from Yorkie land. Mrs L had a smile on her face.
Something I haven't been able to do in a long time. (Cough)
Yep, still snotty and barking sorry!
Gotta go, kitchen duties to achieve.
Weather is cold and windy, at least no rain today.
Best wishes and stay warm.

Mrs L has a wheeled commode downstairs and a recliner, which also helps so much.
I couldn't afford these items but our doctors got in touch with the council and social services to provide items necessary for a better standard of living for Mrs L.
The house has been adapted as much as possible within the limit of our household income and the restricted access we have.
I'm certain you have certain aids, you may need more don't hesitate to find out if you need more.
Best wishes

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
Due to a burst water main we have minimal water apart from orange bottles we fill with cold water during our hot weather to act as door stops. I have boiled this water and we are using this for cooking and drinking.
Hey ho and away we go. Boiling up white wine adding a tea bag you would think be very nice, well no and did you hear Mrs J shout at me, the neighbours did.
The positive aspect is the washing up is on hold.
It’s time to awake the post lunch sleeping Mrs J so she can snarl at Thames we bust our water main again Water.
