Have banged on some Remo Pinstripes on some of the drums, slight cockup on the ordering front the other tom isn't a 12" as I'd thought but a 13" so now have to contact me supplier and see if I can do a swap. Bugger. Still, don't them that's done look good!!! Check out the video at the bottom of the page. Played em with the Paiste 602 just for the record and they sound grand considering haven't spent ages on tuning em until I get the other tom sorted.
10 days alcohol free - proper focussed now!
D-Day Debunked:
The Diabetes clinic in Derbyshire at least, takes somewhere between half an hour to an hour. It involves going over results of blood and urine tests that will have been taken a week or two before. An inspection of feet (diabetics losing sensitivity in their extremities - toes for example is an early warning indicator of impending doom that can lead to amputation if not tackled effectively), during this test you close your eyes and the nurse sort of tickles them with a monofilament fibre - if you can feel the fibre then you're alreet! There's also a blood pressure test 130/74 - how does that work - miles lower than at home of late. Anyway everything was bloomin great apart from weight increase which they had down as 10lbs but is at least three pounds less in reality (Dr Ward has old Seca scales, the nurse had new fancy electronic ones which I'd say were a damn sight more accurate). The HbA1C test which states a HbA1C if kess than 7% is very good control, well when I was first diagnosed I was only 7.4% so slight at best in some ways, in April of last year I was coming out at 6.2%, am now down to 5.7% which in my book is good, good, good.
Morning:
Diabetes clinic at 11:30. God knows what that entails, have already been on one of these diabetes education things and at worst am only slightly diabetic and bloods last time said not really diabetic at all after losing a fair old chunk of weight.
Ran a slower five miles this morning in about 48 minutes. It was okay though as legs felt tired - couldn't go any faster if beezlebub was running behind me with his pitchfork or whatever he has.
