good morning all
4.4 today
sunny but quite windy today, am about to brave the seafront to get a loaf for mr. gee (we go through about 2/3rd of a small loaf a week). Probably carry on round the village
Sad reminder of what can happen yesterday, we met a friend of mr. gee's from where he used to work when we were coming out of the hospital (just me in for a follow up meeting ), he was in a wheelchair waiting to be pushed across to the car so his wife could drive him home.
Told us he was in a lot of pain, had finally visited the doctor because got fed up of not feeling well and kept falling asleep, you've guessed it, he was diagnosed with type2 a couple of weeks ago. He has what sounds like quite bad neuropathy in both legs/feet and this was his first appt. at the hospital, they've told him he 'left it quite late' and it may take 6 months for the pain to improveso you can imagine how he was feeling.
Thin, wiry, constantly active farmer, now just getting to retirement age.
He was tired and upset so we didn't have much conversation but mr. gee told him I 'm type 2 and had been diagnosed about two and a half years. He asked if it was going ok with me and asked mr. gee to visit. We often pass his home when walking mum's dog so I think we'll call in next time. I remember how overwhelming it seems when you are first diagnosed.
Keep fighting everyone and have a good day

My Downfall is the 'big phat comfy' chair Gg...I always intend to sit down just for 5 minutes...then usually wake up several hours later@Bubbsie @OrsonKartt was in bed by 8.30pm last night, having already dozed off on sofa! Up at 4, but awake much earlier. Do like getting up early, but think the body clock needs a bit of resetting: also do fine on 5 or 6 hours sleep, @Bubbsie .
