I saw my practice nurse today, she’s my diabetic go to, and she is a bright sort of gal my own age.
My sugar levels are 42 ( down from 119) and are normal
She seemed more pleased than I was.
She told me to lose more weight and to move quicker and then I will taken off my medication
I asked her if I could have a pair of new knees
She told me to dangle a carrot in front of me
I may dangle a photo of king Filipe
That may help
In a burst of energy I scrubbed the kitchen cabinet doors with cleaner after the consultation…..Roger has a terrible habit of rubbing his bum on them which is just as revolting as it sounds. Village Elder Islwyn stopped to greet him , when I was scrubbing, and I could hear him chatter to Roge over the kitchen wall.
Mary only gets up if she hears a female voice.
Men tend to bore her.
It’s the village show meeting tonight at 6pm
Tomorrow I’m meeting Chic Eleanor for breakfast
Yesterday I saw the Leonardo Di Caprio movie One Battle After Another. I liked it but it’s so complicated I can’t be arsed giving it a review.
It was warm and sunny today after storm AMY, but tonight it feels autumnal
Wonderful news about your sugar levels! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you that blog reader
DeleteWell done on those glucose levels. All that hard work has paid off.
ReplyDeleteYes, King Filipe, just out of reach, saying "Catch me if you can!" would get me moving faster, too! xx
Sod the knee pain , I’d catch him within ten feet
DeleteYou both gave me a good laugh. :)
DeleteI’m not kidding
DeleteExcellent blood glucose level and hope that was a happen-so and that you weren't trying.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that sweet Mary is now disinterested in male voices. Does that include you?
King Filipe is inspiring, isn't he ... thus proving I'm not dead yet!!
Hugs!
She never rushes when she hears my voice, but she comes
DeleteThere was a recent article about knees that posited training the legs to a slightly new angle reduced knee pain. Physical therapy specifically for this was advised. They used tech to monitor the angle as patients adjusted to it. My moderate pain does not send me to therapy. But now on the stairs, I point my toes out a bit and it has helped me. It puts the pressure on less worn out areas of the knee. Llynn, who finds ways to cope with aging.
ReplyDeleteThank you pragmatic llynn
DeleteThanks for that tip, Llynn. I've just walked up and down stairs with my toes pointing out and no stiffness. Now I just need to remember it whenever I use stairs! xx
Delete🧑🏼🦽
DeleteTime for new knees?
ReplyDeleteGawd I hope not
DeleteGood job on the normal A1C.

Grand news on getting your sugar levels down. But I know what you mean about the knees. I've heard good things about that movie you saw. Great weather over there, now that Amy has gone her way. It's wonderful here, too.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great about your numbers. Forget the carrot. Go after the Prince!

DeleteHurray for your blood sugar levels!
ReplyDelete"Roger has a terrible habit of rubbing his bum on them which is just as revolting as it sounds." Hysterical! :) Good news on your sugar level.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a huge drop in blood sugar. You must feel much better.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting your levels down.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you describe why you aren't bothering to review that film!
I too loved the line about Roger and his bum, once read its hard to forget! I also loved that Mary only responded to female voices- how sweet. I saw One Battle After Another with my son. Great movie. Although Leonardo diCaprio was the lead Sean Penn’s portrayal of the military officer Lockjaw was brilliant. What a name! Lockjaw’s desire to get into the totally wing -nut batty scary Christmas Adventurers Club was his undoing. A brilliant comedy with a very dark background story of white supremacy. Jean in Winnipeg.
ReplyDeleteOoh Sean Penn, he'd be my King Felipe!
DeleteHe's got better with age.
He was particularly good in The First, a television series in 2018.
Well done on getting your readings down so quickly. I need you to have a word with Alan, he is terrible at going off-piste and eating what he shouldn't.
