Note
(injured)

Knee a mess of scabs & crusty, bloody shite.

I can bend it better tho, but running seems out of the question. It hurts on impact; swollen still.
12 PM

Note
(injured)

Lifting rucsac with LIDL produce in, from kitchen floor, my lower back "tweaked".

the following 6 hours resulted in increasing pain & soreness all down my left side from back to buttocks to hamstrings. Walking painful. Cycling OK.

Oh great.

I loaded & unloaded 18 car loads of stuff over the past 2 weeks, and now this happens.

"You could not make this shit up".

I'm in the wars, it seems, most of the time & it's time to stop fighting. - it's not going well, so I need to stop STOP.

But of course I just spent £££ on Malvern entries, didn't I.

Hmmm.
5 PM

Cycling 1:23:00 [4] 24.6 km (3:22 / km) +285m 3:11 / km
(injured)

Cycle to & from Southmead hospital, part out of necessity, (rush hour, anyone? ), part to get on bike to do something outdoory, & also, due to bad back today (FFS!), some relief.

Vile. But better than driving, & over 80 mins of exercise, so I guess I take it.

Hospital visit: I cut & paste my FaceBook rant here for anyone interested:

So I finally get to go to a Diabetic clinic to see what is going on with my “atypical” case of “Type “2” “Diabetes”. (Most cases are fat bloaters with poor diets who eat junk & sugary fizz & do not exercise. Sound like the opposite of someone you know? Indeed).

Me to Diabetic specialist doctor: I don’t seem to fit the Type 2 mould.

Her: No, you don’t. (we go through a few things). Her: You are not – not! – a Type 2 diabetic.

Me: Thanks. Didn’t think so. I’ve been waiting nearly 3 years to hear that.

Her: We need to get you tested for Type 1 – it’s a marker in the blood!

Me: I had loads of blood tests done last month, was it in those?

Her: No.

Me: Are you sure?

Her: Yes, they only tested you for regular stuff, and you’re completely well & normal!

Me: But surely, they’d test for it?

Her: Let’s check…. Ah…. Urm…. Yes! You were tested! Oh! It says….. you’re not …. Not Type 1 either.

Me: So what am I?

Her (and another medic in the room)(. We have no idea.

I GIVE UP.

Next thing I know I’m pissing into a pot and sitting there with a needle in my vein again. 4 months til next “specialist” appointment……

Anyone fancy a Mars Bar? I DO.
