Hungary here we come
It’s been a while since I posted! Not a lot has happened. This Saturday, we head to Hungary for a week with Jonny’s sisters church, to do a bit of plastering…or something like that! Should be interesting! Not sure what to expect, but I know it will be a good trip, and learning experience.
Other than that, and vaguely related, is I’m debating whether or not to get the swine flu vaccination. My problem is the date I was given is this Friday…the day before we go away, so I’m definitely not going that day, and they couldn’t give me another date yet. Just not sure what to do and I keep changing my mind! I have heard so many conflicting stories! Well, if I’m not getting it this week, I don’t have to decide for another while yet!!
Even more injections
Yesterday, I was at the doctor about my feet. I’m still trying to get my veruca or whatever it is sorted out. No luck really, although apparently I can go and get it burnt off if I want to. Appealing as that sounds…
We’re heading to Hungary for a week in November with our brother-in-law’s church to do some…plastering I believe. Not sure what to expect yet! But in preparation for going, I asked the doctor yesterday what injections we would need. He told me to make an appointment to see the nurse, which I did…for this morning.
Before I left the doctor yesterday, he decided it would be nice to give me my flu injecton. I’m not a fan of the flu injection, I got quite sick after getting it a few years ago, and have been wary of it ever since. However I decided to go for it, and he told me I can come back to get the swine flu injection in November.
So, Jonny and I both headed off to the nurse today…and had a conversation about Hungary, where we were going, what we were going to be doing, whether we were likely to get tick borne encephalitis or rabies. Decided that no, we weren’t likely to.
We were all geared up for one injection, maybe two…and result was no, we didn’t need any! We’re up to date on everything since our honeymoon 3 years ago.
So it was a bit of a waste of time. Although I’m not complaining – my arm is still sore from yesterday’s flu injection!
I’m not complaining…unless I end up with tick borne encephalitis that is!!
Lovely holiday
So, we had a week in Majorca last week. And it was great, just to get away, and relax. The weather was great, apart from one day when it rained the entire day, and it was just so lovely to be off work for an entire week, and not have to do anything!
We just had such a great time relaxing, swimming, reading, sunbathing, watching series 2 of the Big Bang Theory on the iphone… got to love holidays!
Diabetes wise, things went ok…generally. Apart from the night I decided to drink Sangria (I was in Spain after all!) not having any idea what the sugar content was. Turns out, must be a lot! But I spent most of the week eating what I liked, and just guessing, and taking the heat into account…as I definitely needed less insulin than normal!
Since I have been home though is another story, and I can’t seem to get my sugar to stay where it should be, but hopefully that will sort itself out soon!
It’s the weekend!
Tomorrow, we’re taking another road trip to Dublin…this time to see U2 in Croke Park! I have never seen U2 before in concert, and I’m quite excited! Just trying not to think about swine flu, when we’re going to be surrounded by 80,000 people (or however many it holds) and just enjoy it! Maybe I should get a mask?!
busy busy busy
I haven’t posted in a few days – as we had a few days away. We were at New Horizon, a big Christian conference in Coleraine University. It was a wonderful few days, great teaching, worship, and seeing people we haven’t seen for a while. It was nice to get away!
Diabetes wise, the time away went smoothly enough. It’s always hard when you’re out of a routine – and we were camping! But apart from a few sneaky lows, things were ok. I had our 9 year old nephew keeping a very close eye on me… ‘are you sure you should be eating that’, ‘are you ok, do you need to check’ etc. Very cute!
So it’s back to work and now 3 weeks to the wedding! It’s all systems go!
(I also had my DAFNE review last Friday and they said I’m doing really well. My next appointment isn’t until December, so they made me an extra appointment for September to get my hba1c drawn, so I can see how things are going!)
