Thurs., Fri., & Sat. March 22-24
From what seems like spring has finally arrived - or at least for the time being ---
I have really been under the weather and haven't felt like getting on the computer. I finally called the doctor's office on Friday a.m. and was added to the 4:00 "waiting list." I have been experiencing a lot of pain below my navel these past few days - making for standing upright uncomfortable, getting in and out of bed uncomfortable, food had lost its appeal (and you know that never happens with me), etc. Anyway, the doctor did a lot of punching around and felt that I have some kind of irritation throughout my colon. Bloodwork was done and the results will be given to me on Monday.
I did go to join the breakfast group on Thursday, but only ate the egg and cheese omelet - wasn't sure I needed the added stimulation of the whole wheat bread - and I am thinking that is maybe all I ate on Thursday. I tried a piece of bread on Friday a.m. (thought I needed something on my stomach with pills) and other than that just took in water. I'm feeling a little better this afternoon as I can sit upright without discomfort.
The doctor has me on a clear liquids, broth, diet for a few days. Actually I was surprised that he said beef flavored or chicken flavored Ramen noodles would also be okay. They at least make me feel as if I have some food on my stomach.
Jim seems to be unconscious of everything that is going on. He wanted to go by McDonald's this a.m. and kept thinking he needed to order two egg biscuits. I kept telling him (and he was in the doctor's office with me) that this was not on my current dietary menu - and he remembered temporarily. I had taken some diet 7-Up with me and assured him that I was okay until we returned home.
Jim went to Crowder to fish from the banks yesterday and went down to Dr. Eden's today. I don't think he caught anything yesterday and caught one fish today.
Until I'm back with you again.
