Good morning Tuesday

[JanB]

Bedroom just needs the towel rail and loo roll holder put up. And need to find a mirror.

Yes, the first time I've slept in there. Grumpy was snoring, the cat was on the other bed, so had no choice

I couldn't get any help with my ankle Saundra, but diabetes was listed as an eligible condition when I was originally turned down. I got my GP to refer me again when I was diagnosed and it was accepted. Might be worth looking at your NHS trust rules. Tbh I'm not sure what help it will be or what treatment I'll get, but at least I'm in their system now. Will be interested to find out why I need two separate appointments and what differs between them.

I had the diabetic eye test before Christmas too, got the results a couple of days ago. They found some background retinopathy, means there are small changes to the blood vessels in the retina at the back of my eye caused by the diabetes. It doesn't affect my eye sight or need treatment at the moment but it will be monitored. Must admit it did throw me as I wasn't expecting damage this early in the diagnosis, certainly makes me take it all more seriously. Were you offered a course? I'm attending DERIK (Diabetes Education and Revision in Kent) on Friday. It's a whole morning 9.30am-1.30pm, will be interesting to see what's covered. It's a long session and I'm unlikely to remember everything so E's coming too. Also planning to take a writing pad along and take some notes.
