She came to review me following District Nurses' call and her concern at a sugar reading of 2.8. Just a gentle reminder to me that the Diabetes still needs looking after! And it will!
The GP and I are more concerned at my water retention "edema" due to cancer. She has again doubled my water tablet, so if you come and visit me, and I get my little jug out, please don't be offended if I ask you to leave for a moment.
How different from when I was a baby/toddler, and as my mother has always proudly reminded me - "Richard was potty trained when he was 18 months!" Oh dear I keep thinking to myself when I recall this little story, but then she also went on to say she carried a jam jar around just in case.
Today with the medication they've got me on, it will not be jam jars I need but great big empty containers – so if you see me coming with a bag containing a funny shaped item – please don't be concerned.
Today, Saturday, has seen some of the family arrives for a cup of tea. It has been lovely to see some of our grandchildren, along with Louise, and Louise's parents and brother Anne, Roy and Jamie. They are a lovely family and over the past three or four years we haven't seen them quite so much as they don't drive and with my illness things have not been possible, which is a great shame!
Life for me at the moment is all about the bare necessities - Water, jugs, cups of tea, Families, relationships!
Get these right, and we get everything else right.
By getting our fundamental relationships with God right, we can simply pass everything all our other worries and cares to him and he will take good care of each one of us.
That's his promise to you and to me.
