Slow and steady!

Whoops sorry not updated in a while life has been busy! 

Well since my last blog I have already seen a change in the way this month is going! I'm nearly back to full health at last and feeling a lot better about everything! My skin hasn't fully recovered which I am a little down about but I'm hoping this will improve when I see a specialist! 

booked my driving test (well rebooked it since the dvla decided to cancel it! Grr) so I have been trying to go out and practice in my car lots with friends which has helped and I need to pass this time! I need my freedom lol, 

anyway things are going pretty ok at the moment, including a recent visit to the dentist concluding that I do not have a tooth infection and it's just my wisdom teeth! I didn't think I was that wise to be honest ;) and didn't expect 3 of them to come through at the same bloody time 😤 Urgh! At least I have an answer tho...

We have also appeared to have an early summer here! The sun has been shining and we have had a lovely couple of weeks where it's been warm which has helped my skin a little and made me feel slightly better about it! Altho due to being in the garden at work and such I have developed some awful tan lines 🙈

Too many antibiotics??

Typically after being ill for a while And me starting to feel happy again, I was waiting for something else to go wrong which it did in the form of a horrible toothache running up to the weekend! Went to the dentist after the weekend to be told that my wisdom tooth was pushing through onto the tooth next to it which had an infection so I was thinking they will just give me some antibiotics right? 

Wrong!! Apparently because I have had so many antibiotics recently they didn't want to give me any more!!! So now I am just supposed to suffer with the pain until they can give me some......

*bangs head on iPad* 

Think positive.... Think positive..... Think positive.... Gahhhhhh! 😭

Another year older!

That's right I am now 21! Ok fine 27 :( 

Been a hectic weekend with birthday plans and seeing various family and friends :) luckily I was allowed to have a few drinks.. Ok so I had a lot haha but I had to celebrate getting old didn't i!? 

They are non alcoholic I swear...... ;) 

And the HBA1C is........

Drumroll.......

8.9% a lot of you may think that's a little high, and quite rightly so but I'm actually really happy with it! Considering all the shit I have been through the last couple years I think that's pretty good going :) it's lower than my last one and that's all that matters, progress means everything even if it's slow and steady! 

For all you non diabetics who are thinking "what the heck is a hba1c!?" It's a routine blood tests that diabetics have that measures the amount of glycated haemoglobin (hb) in the blood and gives an average based on the past 6 months or so.... Simplified even more it's basically testing how much sugar is in our blood over a short period so we keep it in check and make sure we are less prone to all those nasty complications! It then gives a result that is converted into a percentage. 

Apart from that everything else was fine thank god! Perfect blood pressure, feet check went alright and no other infections or anything :) 

Now I just have to make sure I go to all the other appointments, oh and I need to book my eye scan!
