The random late afternoon test was 10 point something.  I'd eaten my regular healthy food that day of porridge made with skimmed milk, berries and banana for breakfast.  Lunch was a cheese sandwich made with wholemeal bread and an apple.  I couldn't keep awake.  Would be sparko on the sofa after my healthy plate evening meal.

Today my random anniversary afternoon test is 5.4 I am 3.5 stone lighter and don't intend sleeping until bedtime! I've met lots of lovely new people here and elsewhere.  Mexican food for dinner tonight.  It's all good

Anyway, I was in Tower Bridge last night and received a message from my daughter telling me her leg was hurting. Bit of history, for the last week or so, she has had severe stomach cramps and a swollen calf along with back pain. We took her to see 2 docs who barely looked up and gave her reassuring grunts and nods then told her to swallow some cocodamol and rest.
Last night she was in agony so I told her to go to A&E. Well, good job she did. She has now been admitted as she has blood clots in legs and lungs, along with a kidney bleed. She is having warfarin injections and the doc said the clot in her lung was not far from her heart. He could not believe 2 previous docs pretty much fobbed her off and he is gonna write to them both to complain. So, finally she is getting the right treatment. Moral of this story, don't blindly believe everything your doc says. You know your own body, trust your judgement.
