Health
This morning I went with Claire to see the diabetic nurse to see if Claire can go on to a pump that allows her to control her insulin better and then her diabetes.
Of course being Claire, it’s not going to be straight forward because of the amount of insulin she is taking, but the nurse was positive about it.
Keeping our fingers cross, especially after the impact that the Libre has had.
This afternoon, I received an email from the official of national statistics thanking me for my help doing the winter the COVID19 testing as they were closing it down.
As mentioned before, I’m glad I could be a part of this to help the country move forward from this virus.
Thankfully all my tests came back negative during this study.
This morning I found out not good news and short live too.
My dad blood count was high, so next week they are going to start him again on chemotherapy.
So that good news didn’t last long, but dad said he felt OK in himself.
Today I did my monthly winter Covid19 test and after what happened on Monday, I was pleased to see this come back negative.
No it wasn’t.
Not sure what caused it, but I was hit by the Norovirus.
Never had it before and never want it again.
Completely knocked me for six.
Today, I finally got to the opticians to have my eyes tested, after the issues with the car. Have been using this optician for over 50 years.
As my prescription as slightly changed, I will need to have new glasses. Which are not cheap. What is these days?
An extra check, I paid for diabetic eye check, which was all clear.
I like that I can see parts of my previous eye tests from other years on the computer and thankfully they have hardly changed.
This afternoon I did my test for Bowel Cancer.
Due to my age, I do this every two years.
Hopefully this will come back negative.
This morning I did my first Winter Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Study (Winter CIS) test.
Thankfully it came back negative and filled out the survey.
Glad I’m doing this, as there is a rise with the virus due to a new variant.
Stay safe
Just by chance, I happened to go to the NHS app on my phone, as I noticed that I could see my blood results. They came back OK, which is a relief.
Today I received and email saying that the National Office of statistics has decided to stop the covid19 survey that had been suspended in March of this year.
They thanked me for the time I had done this during the pandemic.
I thought it was very useful to be part of this to help get back to a normal life.
