No wonder I'm feeling rotten. Back from long doctor's appointment with a host of possible new diagnoses (including gallstones and IC, yay), all of which have to be investigated. But at least the doctor can *feel* stuff in my abdomen, and can see why I've been in pain and throwing up, and that's gratifying in a weird way.
Got another huge day tomorrow; feeling zonked; have zero motivation; and a messy house.
Done since coming home:
* given grass to pigs
* fed cats
* taken damp washing off line (that's going to be a neverending story until summer - stuff just doesn't dry at this time of year)
* roughly swept autumn leaves off the back porch
* had a cup of tea
Will come back in a while, and post further progress (if I make it, ha ha).
Ivy.

* put damp towels in dryer

ah well i have my riding gear, then i have my horse stuff. my riding gear is at mum's partners place ready for my lesson. my horse gear i'm just packing up so i can reclaim the top of my wardrobe and so i can shift it down to the other house and out of ours!
Just got back from the post office and uppacked the cat toys. coco is very impressed! i got them two new mice toys impregnanted with cat nip, a scratch board also with cat nip, a plastic liner for their dishes to go on as they are THE messiest animals i have ever come across, plus a cat ball you can put biscuits in. as they roll it around it lets some biscuits out. apparently its good for exercising indoor cats. coco is still figuring it out. gucci hasn't come down as yet!
i do love to spoil them!
* go to post office to collect parcel (its new cat toys) - done
* go to chemist and get pescript
ion - done, but have to go back to collect

argh! panic panic panic! just got a form through to fill in about
my crohn's for my benefit. its review time and the government have just changed everything about
the rules so its all new and rubbish and i'm scared!
On the other hand since i' now the lucky recipient of accidents every week i might get into the support group and be left alone pretty much! this is unlikely but hey a girl can dream right?

Ivy -- I know what you mean about
the doctor feeling what's causing your troubles. It is gratifying. I felt like that when they found my new strictures. They were blaming my symptoms on my pregnancy and I knew that wasn't it. It's feels good to have your symptoms confirmed or validated. Hope you have a restful night.
Choc -- sorry about
the new form good luck with it. What did you get the cats?
Had a rough morning stresswise, but got through some dreaded phone calls and paper work. Eating a treat now and will take it easy the rest of the day.

sigh, i just remembered that the hospital is meant to call me to confirm i'm feeling ok before they order the remicaide. guess what??? no phonecall. geuss i'll be phoning them in the morning to rebook in. with stern reminders to actually call me next time. So not impressed, this has happened before last time i was on it.
I bought the cats
- a snack ball
- scratch board
- two mice toys
- plastic feed mat cos they are the messiest animals ever!

All cats are Choc. They'll love the toys. Has the hospital ever remembered to call? Those things drive me nuts.
