Don your capes and stick your undies on over your trousers for the BESH superhero thread

Eurgh that's sounds rubbish kick. Makes you value hot showers!

It's Olympics day! If they televise the sailing look out for me!

Hiya superbugs! Re the eye, variety of causes but best thing to do is use cooled, boiled water to wipe it with cotton wool and it should settle down. The weekend sounds fab!

Just popping in to mark my place. I'm still about, but dealing with a few things at the moment

Is that an Olympic torch? I'd vaguely thought it was a carrot for Frankel, before I realised it was unlikely MN shared FSR's obsession.

Yes it's a torch although it's been mistaken for a spliff!
You alright norf?

Apart from the fact that I've only just left work... :(

And I still haven't found my superpower!

How are you?

Also with the eye thing - change towels after use - same will pillow cases and stuff . Just in case there is a teeny infection

The boiled water thing works! I had one for the past week or so. I got it to calm down and then went for multiple paddles in the sea over the weekend which made for an irritated eye. And I swam this morning (1k, but I can't crawl anymore since breaking the bloody bone :( ) so I am expecting a flare up later today.

My project BMI has not dared to approach scales yet, and I am well impressed with your results faif. WOW. I can report a 50k cycle ride over the weekend, a walk on Sunday and plenty paddling. Sadly I find I actually get really, really hungry from the increased exercise, which cannot do the project any favours. Oh well.

And I am into the olympics now too, loving the swimming and gymnastics, a lot!!

The weekend sounds lovely bugs! How are you feeling now?

And norf working that late is a superpower in its own right. Just not a nice one!

A nice horsey event was on in the background of my meeting this morning! (I work in a place with lots of tv screens.) It was almost impossible to concentrate on pay discussions when there were pretty shiny horses jumping nobly.

Project BMI fail here. Today's dress, which was loosely skimming 6 weeks ago, is depressingly tight.

Probably more appropriate to have a complete moan in here.

When I was admitted to hospital on the 11 June (LAST fucking month), my hba1c was 15.5%. I went to the doctor last week and asked them to take my hba1c and its come back at 9.1%. Now, I am over that moon about that. I really am. I've worked my ass off and I'm resigned from my job and I watch what I eat and I've brought it down SHIT loads in 7 weeks.

The fucking doctors nurse bastard witch says oh no, they need to "review" my medical care and the meds with the "abnormal" results because they're not "healthy range"

Um - they fucking IGNORED me the two times I went in telling them I had no energy, was drinking 6L of water and couldn't make my own fucking spit. They were the REASON I had to fight my way to a hospital an hour away (and still get my care an hour away) after vomiting for 24 hours. They nearly fucking killed me and they don't even KNOW I have diabetes and NOW they want a say in my care? How do they not open my fucking records with them and go "wow - steady drop in 7 weeks beyond what anyone expected. Given that WE left her sugars to hit 37!! Given that it was our complete malpractice that saw her with severe ketoacidosis, a body temp of 32 and so many drips and wires that she couldn't move her arms properly for TWO FUCKING WEEKS"

They come back and say they need to review my shit? Hinting that I've not "cared" for myself properly.

I am so unbelievable angry. I am so fucking LIVID by that stupid STUPID bitches fucking response. I can't explain how angry and hurt I am that she is SO fucking STUPID to insinuate that I am not caring for myself to have an hba1c.

I said it was "normal" given that I was diagnosed 7 weeks ago at 15.5%. I said it's not exactly SAFE for me to have sugars any lower than I have now

I need a drink

kick I would seriously consider changing practices. Mine were a bit shit like that and I am much happier at my current practice. They clearly don't know how to support you, you don't trust them with your health (when you really need to). Think about going elsewhere.

norf I'm ok, just finding things a bit tough emotionally.

I don't know how to find another practice in the area? I don't think there is another practice in the area.

Sorry for my rant. I can't believe how that hurt me and threw me.

Why are you feeling emotionally tough??

Right may have found another practice. Just need to make sure I can get test strips whenever I need them...

Don't you know of any other practices in the area already? Ask someone else local? Google?

We had a chat this morning and acknowledged its been a rough patch. not sure if you've seen so far back our house caught fire before Christmas and we only moved back jubilee weekend. TTC for so long takes its toll. Add in I've been ill with this urinary tract blockage since March which has affected the sechsing at times and it really hasn't been easy. We've taken it out on each other at times and are guilty of one-upmanship at times. We've had a chat this morning and cleared the air. Neither of us had really admitted how much it was affecting us. I feel better for the chat really.

Oh totally unrelated but if you're watching the GB hockey team - I went to school with one player - Sally Walton!

I have been giving some thought to my costume. Currently I'm favouring stompy black boots, skin tight leather with silver stripe trousers, black top and silver cape. Oh, and a black mask. Anyone got a droid I can beat up? Mine has gone AWOL - spotting on Sunday, so I thought game over - but now no sign of the bastard! Am menkulling a tiny bit, but not massively, as am only on cd 27, temps are low and boobs are less sore than last couple of days.

Am feeling a bit emotional too - today was my due date from the ectopic pregnancy, and my sil had her baby last night! I'm totally delighted for them, but it does make it extra sad to think about what we could have had. GFBW cried this morning when he heard the news, which really rattled me - he's usually such an optimist.

kick you have every right to be angry after what happened. I second faithy's point about finding some professionals that you trust. I moved within my practice after not getting on with a doctor - tis worth it if you can.

faith sounds like a good chat to have had with MSB. Hope it cleared the air and you came out stronger.

cave hope everything's ok.

Evening all! I am about, just having a hectic time of it at the moment. HWHNN is doing ok, but still very up and down.

Spotting returned today (CD 17) and I really am wondering if it is stress related. It all seems too much of a coincidence.

In the meantime, I am off to Goodwood tomorrow to watch my namesake. It should be a formality - only 3 horses have been entered to take him on and he is so vastly superior to them all that this race should be like a piece of morning work for him. Tune in to Channel 4, race is at 3.10pm

Evening all. I am just feeling a bit manky tonight. Have had a bot of a dicky tummy today which hasn't helped. Have my 20 week scan tomorrow and I am wondering whether how I am feeling is all anxiety related!

Hope everyone else is hanging in there.

Good luck for the scan tomorrow Dor. Can't believe you are up to 20wks already!

I know. It feels like it has gone quickly and quite slowly at the same time!

Violent puke over the "moment of pure love" thread. I bet she will end up diffed from it as well.

I've never heard of spotting for stress frankie. Bastard wombles and their sneaky wombling ways. Could it be an ovulation bleed? Or have I just made that up?

30DayShredni, I didn't have an actual due date for my ectopic, but end of April beginning of May I was really miserable. AMNH hadn't a clue, so it sounds really nice to me that GFBW remembered and cared. Once I was over though I cheered up overnight, like there was nothing else to tie me to the misery. How are you feeling now?

Good luck for today, dottyp!

[joins Norf in puking on that thread]

How can people be so sappy??! [bitter]

Well ladies, it's Frankel Day! I shall report back thus evening

Barrens of the Universe mass puke.

PUKING - why don't we have that emoticon?

Shred have some gin. Sorry about this time, it will pass!

Kick, I am with Faif. Change practice if you can at all. They are totally out of order!!

FSR enjoy the horsey day! I am happy that frankel provides so much joy, really hope things start looking up more permanently for HWNN as well soon!

Wow dor 20-weeks time flies in other people's pregnancies...

I am miserable, stressed, side effecty, sick and tired of it all. And GRUMPY. So beware babydusters and stupid people (like kick's docs) today.
