So I left off last week just before my blood glucose testing, more needles which I hate. I had the test with before and after bloods taken so I have a nice purple bruise on my arm. Test came back showing gestational diabetes. It's been a really tough one to get my head round. I was given no information at all and told I would get a follow-up with a consultant at the end of June!!! That's 4 weeks away! Fortunately they were wrong about the process and I've had a call from the diabetes team with everything I need to know. Today is day one of testing, was supposed to be yesterday but my equipment isn't compatible with my phone 🤦🏼♀️ so after hours of trying to sync the app I gave up and called the help line who told me it's an issue with the brand of my phone. They're trying to resolve the matter with the company but apparently it's not high on the companies priority list to fix the issue. Looks like I'll be upgrading to something else. Anyway I now have to input everything manually. The testing is horrific (probably not really at all but I have a needle phobia and I'm squeamish) I've had panic attacks and cried lots over the thought of it. I was up at 3am this morning trying to mentally prepare. which was quite handy as I realised a huge bulge in the paint on my kitchen wall with water inside it and it turns out I had a leak under my bath. All sorted now and no lasting damage, might have to repaint the kitchen but it's not too bad.
I finally got my photo and art cards printed and put together, they will be listed in the shop very soon. I also have new notebooks but haven't got round to unpacking them yet. Diet planning and food research / prep have pretty much taken over. There will be some new bits coming soon, framed prints and maybe an amethyst stag, it's a work in progress so we'll see how he turns out.
Take care peeps, I shall return soon with some positive stories. Well if I can find any that is 😂
Over and out.
