A VERY HOT & SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY 10^th/ JULY 2019.

We were both up very early this morning and after a quick freshen up we shot down to Sabinillas to the main ‘ Medical Centre’ as I had an emergency appointment with our Doctor, Natalia, after yesterday afternoons review/check up, she checked/read all my reports/results etc, she has prescribed a new series of ‘Pain Relief’ tablets/Paracetamol, for my left arm ‘ Herpes Zostos’ severe virus, my right leg ‘Cellullitis’ is clearing, she has also adjusted/cancelled some of my prescription tablets, as I have major problem with my Blood Level/Sugar readings etc.

I now have, which the current problems have affected, ‘ Type 2 Diabetes ‘ !! Natalia talked us through the situation, she showed me how to use the latest ‘Blood Glucose’ monitoring system, to monitor the ‘ Hyperglycemia’ – next she showed Brenda how to use, in an emergency, if I collapse etc, an injection kit ( Life Saving ) to use ‘ASAP ‘ – then call the ambulance!

Next she set up the prescription for the ‘Insulin’ Kit, which Brenda has just picked up from our local Chemists, next she took us into the ‘Practise Nurse’ who took us through all the procedures, we are going back, first thing tomorrow morning, when she is going to give me the first test, then insulin shot ,with more details etc, then on Friday morning, first thing, we have another emergency 

appointment with Natalia, so as she can check everything is correct/working ‘ RESULT’ !!  

Back at the house we had our usual toast & tea, as we sat down and took in all the latest news!

In ‘ Doggy World Heaven’ ‘ Scruffy’ is not back with us until Friday, now, as the ‘Radiotherapy ‘ machine, at the Hospital, in Malaga, is being serviced over the next two days! Little ‘ Miss Bella’ is back on Monday & Tuesday, in August we are very busy as ‘ Chico’ is back for his holidays ( 3 weeks)  at the start of the month – then later in the month we have ‘Sunny’ with us for a couple of weeks & ‘Pucci’ for a short break! ‘Chisps’ will no doubt be calling in to see all her friends!!

The sun was out very early this morning, as we were, the sky had cleared and was blue, there was just a very slight breeze, so by the time returned it was already very hot & sunny, by lunchtime up to 28 degs+ - tomorrow the same, then on Saturday/Sunday it’s going up to 30 degs+ - next week is looking to be a ‘ Hot-One ‘ hovering in the low 30s, - overnight only down to 21/22 degs, all week, by next Wednesday up to 32 degs+! Watch this space.

Yesterday over in Liverpool the cruise liner the “ CMV Magellan’ was berthed for the day, as usual at the ‘Pier Head’ – the picture below shows her passing the beach at Crosby, on her way out of the River Mersey, you can see in the bottom of the picture one of the Iron Statues, designed by Sir Antony Gormley, based on his own naked body, that are placed along the beach , it’s called ‘Another Place’ and there are one hundred of them, looking out to sea, which are exposed when the tide goes out!
