The Weekend - Sunday

Nigel dropped Kate and Woozle off at my house, as he and Michelle's boyfriend Richard were going fishing at Littlestone. They caught some bass but not very much. Well, not enough for a family meal, so the cats are in luck! Nigel said he enjoyed Richard's company and he said he needs male companionship from time to time. I agree with him. Although he loves the ladies in his life, he has proportionally too much time with them. Richard too, I would think. I'm glad they had a nice day.



Sean and I took Wendy to Sainsburys to get some salad stuff for lunch. He pushed her in her pram and the dog came with me. Here he is, on the seat of the scooter, keeping a watchful eye on things. Wendy cried on the way home as her teeth were bothering her. Her mum had had a great luxurious wallow in the bath while Wendy was out with us. We had lunch and later an afternoon nap.


Michelle was worried about one of her diabetic patients with a very high blood sugar reading. Her Manager suggested she make him exercise and I suppose that would help but I recommended that she phone the doctor on duty at the local hospital and ask his advice. I was a nurse and of course you don't use exercise to bring blood sugar levels down in a hospital - you would check the prescribed sliding scale and administer insulin. Unstable diabetics make me nervous and well qualified as I am, I would not want to deal with it on my own, particularly with bigger patients as when their blood sugar is wonky they can become very aggressive. I hope it all works out OK. I have told her to keep very accurate records in case questions are asked.
