Re-balanced

I am hoping that the negative chemical haze of yesterday has lifted - it certainly feels like it at the moment. 

I am feeling much more positive and physically better than yesterday and although the aches have not quite receded completely they now appear to be more manageable.  Thank you for bearing with me - I wish I had a more level playing field at the moment.

On the other hand, my brother who is currently staying with his family - and yes this is a good idea as it keeps my monkeys occupied and Laura is on hand to help with all things domestic - has had a hypo.  Poor chap.  I had just put some pizzas on the table for lunch when he started walking round in circles in the kitchen.  Everyone else just carried on as normal so I just ignored him as I thought "well, if they're not worried, and they live with this, then I needn't worry." 

Five minutes later I realised he was still walking round in circles but at least now Laura had left the table and was handing him some orange juice and could be heard issuing quiet but very firm instructions to "drink this". 

After several biscuits and some more drink he has recovered from his low but I have to admit that all I could do, once he had started to recover, was giggle at the sight of him wandering aimlessly in circles, fetching a glass out, putting it down, walking a few steps, stopping to stare into space then going to the cupboard to fetch a glass out, walking around in a circle, then staring into space again.

Me?  Unsympathetic? 

Now, I do not question how long Laura left him to wander but I did ask her about it as to begin with I thought I must be misreading the signs because no-one else seemed to think his behaviour was odd.  She pointed out that she can now pick the perfect moment to intervene and times it so that he is at his most pliable - if she tries to help too early he gets grumpy and denies there is anything wrong and if she were to leave it too late he could pass out.  It is a very tricky line to tread.

Hopefully now though we are now all re-balanced and the rest of the day can carry on.  I mean, if it's not one thing, it's another and if it's not me, it's my brother!
