Been a bit under the weather until this morning. Waiting on an appointment with the cardiomyopathy clinic to try and get my extreme tiredness and breathlessness sorted out. Got carted into hospital in the summer and spent three days in the cardiac care unit. It all seems to be taking such a long time...blah, every little thing just knocks me out. Blood sugar was 8.8 this morning, but I put that down to the heavy cold I have been fighting with! Hope everyone is having a good day, I am off to take Mr P to the doctor's to get his poor leg looked at. It hasnt been the same since he fell last week.
 
Do take care, sounds like you have been having a horrible time. Hope no serious injury to Mr P’s leg. Sending you best wishes.
 

Oh dear the flu jab didn’t hurt much when I had it a week ago
️ happy aniversary dear Ziggy
 
5.5
Looks like my body is finally recovering from the hen party weekend and all the prosecco! Bloods back to normal. Even after late night choc and creamy coffee.

We had a lovely bonfire night but today I've been blue lighted in to care for my grandaughter who is smothering with a cold. Beats painting and decorating any day
 
Take care both.
 
Sounds as though you have been specially selected for everything that can be thrown at your family. Really hope things soon turn around for you both.
 
Tough week for me this week. I've been trying to get both my blood glucose level and weight down. I've been very strict with eating, so I think stress has been responsible. I've also had a bit of achilles tendonitis so I had some rest days or shorter workouts. I've been fasting more frequently than usual to counteract this.

Blood glucose was 4.9 this morning.

I did get a loss on my scale of 2 lbs (.91 kg) for a total of 54.99 lbs (24.94 kg) I'm now within 1.5 lbs of my lowest weight in over 25 years - 218.6 lbs today (24.94 lb). I measured my waist (don't do this weekly) to discover I've lost another 2", total of 7" so far which is good as I really want to reduce my visceral fat in my organs and around the waist.

Glad to say I’ve had my flu jab glad it’s over stung a little bit but nothing unbearable feeling quite sleepy now not sure wether it’s due to the flu jab or the fact I got myself so worked up I tried all day to tell myself it was nothing but when that anxiety kicks in it’s hard to get rid of my lovely friends from Australia sent me a Tree of life necklace for my transplant anniversary really lovely necklace

Congratulations! Hopefully the sleepiness is just reaction from relief after being worked up over the flu jab. I know it would be with me.

Happy Anniversary!
