Bleurgh.

Done so far:

* lots of tidying
* ordered gp stuff
* a tiny bit of weeding
* put the pigs outside for fresh air

What I'd like to do:

* make more ice cream because my gut is unhappy
* check meds and order whatever's needed


Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I ended up going to bed in the morning, had appts in the afternoon, and had to do housework in the evening, so no post. PV, your bruises sound so terrible. I hope you start to heal soon. And Nanners, sorry about your osteo and fibro - hope you are starting to feel better now. Choc, I can't believe you got bras that cheaply! Mine tend to cost at least $70 each shocked and I tend to have no choice, as it's really hard for me to find anyting that comes close to fitting... Do you feel all swanky and elegant now that you have nice things? I reckon that would be a wonderful pick-me-up after surgery.

Has anyone heard from NCOT? I miss her.

Ivy.

Cheeky!! Nearly everything i got was meant to be selling at £10+ so i got really lucky!! I do feel really swanky now i have nice things!! I just got to try not to poo on the knickers! I always feel gutted if i do, makes it so much worse!

Its even nicer cos i got a fitting done. Since i keep changing weight so quickly, i didnt really know what size i was. The lady who fitted me was lovely and didnt even look at my scar.

I emailed NCOT the name but got no reply. I did say that she didnt have to rush to reply, but it has been a few days. Might send another email and not mention health at all. I did try to keep it chatty, rather than medical. Which was harder than i thought it would be. Says alot about me i think!

Tuesday TLC

* eat
* drink
* do some more sewing
* watch 'the boy in the striped pyjamas'

Oh well. My email to NCOT ended up being a massive whinge about how annoying the health system can be at my end, so I'm not sure how unmedical and upbeat I managed to be either :-).

What's the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Choc?

I've made the ice cream, but it hasn't done much to soothe the gut yet. And we've had piggy drama here, as one pig decided to make a flying leap during his trip inside, and raced away to the far corner of the garden and hid himself so deep in foliage that he was invisible, and could only be located through his squeaking. Luckily my cat is of a traditional working breed, so she worked like a sheep dog, and between the two of us we were able to corner him against the fence and get him home again. I think he scared himself, poor lad, and he seemed very happy to be picked up again. It made me realise just how fond I'd grown of the little pigwigs. They may have only been here a week, but I'd be really, really, upset if anything happened to them. They're some of the nicest piglets I've ever known.

Bed time for me, Choc. I hope you have a wonderful day there. How's the eating going, btw?

ps. Is it still Viking costumes you're making?
Posted 2/8/2011 10:37 AM (GMT 0)
Yep, still viking costumes! Its £30 a costume so cant really refuse to do it, plus it helps me work my brain! Although first two seams took me two hours to work out, pin then sew. I was nearly in tears cos i just couldnt work it out!!

The boy in the striped pyjama's is a movie, based during WW2. I think the general gist is little german boy moves to live near concentration camp and becomes friends with little jewish boy on other side of fence. I think it may be a weepie so i shall have the tissues at the ready!!

Eating is going well since i've started buying my own food. Think its encouraging me to keep eating! Although i didn't eat a huge amount yesterday but the day before i had a HUGE stir fry plus steak! yum yum!!

Sleep well Ivy!! xx

hey all,

  tlc for tues.

  relax after my art show, show was good, confirmed sales were $1,000 unconfirmed yet around $400

go with wife for follow up from gb removal(wonderful)

had horrible experience at show, went br my usual 2-5 times in AM. before leaving house, then eat lunch that I brought, then I started to get gas(no biggy) then the gas turned into kinda we all know, sure enough, the dreaded D. so I went to thr br that us vendors and public for the show use and the lineup was 10 deep for waiting, so I went into cab of my truck and found plastic ziplock bags, and yes I had to go in those bags, it gets worse. so I thru that away in trash(poor guy that had to collect that bag of trash) sure enough I had to run back to my truck and go in large green trash bags, but it was the kind of D that you go and start to pull up pants and wham another explosion thing, anyway that last from 1pm until 3:30pm. really pitiful. no wonder I was put onto ssdi so fast. my wife said I need small bucket and line it with plastic bag and go into bucket. sorry ivy about long post. so successful show, but sad what I went thru.

Hi Ivy, glad to see you have returned. I was worried about you! Choc sounds like you are getting better day by day. AG glad you had a good show, but sorry about the poop attacks.

I stayed home from work today as both the fibro and arthritis decided to have a party and beat me up. It hurts so much its hard to even walk around and my thumb keeps giving me pain jolts. Ouch!! Tummy is a little upset, but not too bad. Its just the body pain giving me grief.

So today my tlcs are to rest up so I can get back to work. Hopefully the joints etc will calm down and tomorrow will be a better day. Hugs to you all, and Mdf34 behave yourself:) lol

god i'm watching the boy in the striped pyjama's. I can barely stand to watch. Its horrible, even though i know its a movie, its tearing my heart in two. The horrifying comments, the ghastly treatment. Some things simply have too much sorrow. The story isnt enough to distract. This is one movie i'll never watch again.
Posted 2/8/2011 9:11 PM (GMT 0)
I won't post too much, but I'm having a bad day. Don't know why, just in a terrible mood.

And, my garage door opener broke first thing this morning.

So, on my TLC:
*get dad to come help with garage door
*re duct tape siding that needs to be replaced

Why oh why can't I win the lottery and just pay to get it all fixed?
Posted 2/8/2011 9:14 PM (GMT 0)
Choc I have never heard of that movie.  If it is that depressing, turn it off and get yourself a good comedy.

(*fingers crossed---ssshh*)  I promise, I'll be good!

Man that sucks AG, it is that kind of thing that makes me fear having to travel.

Posted 2/8/2011 9:24 PM (GMT 0)
My mom and brother left this morning for a snowboard adventure for three days. Yay house to myself...

Spent the day doing nothing, worked a little on homework.

Don't know what I'm doing for dinner.

It's just one of those days.

Nanners, I hope your body feels better tomorrow, it's always something isn't it?

Artistguy: Bummer about all the issues, but sounds like it was successful show besides the issues!

Ivy: Good to know you are alright! And sounds like the pigs have been an awesome investment!

Chocholic: I wanted to see that movie but I just haven't brought my self around to it. I love WWII movies..

Monkiray: I hope your day gets better!
Posted 2/8/2011 10:07 PM (GMT 0)
I managed to finish watching it by only keeping half an eye on the film whilst doing/reading stuff on the internet. Then i insisted we put a funny movie on. I think it just got to me so much cos i didnt do history at school. I only did two years and it was all irish history. The WW's werent covered till the last two years at school so although i knew about the atrocities, it never became real.

Plus i have huge emotional reactions to things emotional especially sad things. I think since dad died, i just carry too much sorrow inside to cope with anything else.
Posted 2/8/2011 10:59 PM (GMT 0)
Oh, AG. That's just a nightmare day for any IBDer, and I'm so sorry it had to happen on such an important day, and in public :-(. How are you feeling now?

Choc, I've been the same since my Mum died. Be kind to yourself, sweetie. You don't need to subject yourself to movies like that. It does sound as if you're unwell there: when do you get to see the gp? Glad you're finding it easier to eat, though (see? it *was* all in your head, and the psych visit helped, LOL :-) ).

Huge hugs to Becky and Nanners. I hope your days get easier.

Yay! for space, Endeavour. I hope you had fun: what did you end up doing at home?
Posted 2/8/2011 11:10 PM (GMT 0)
I didn't really do much I had nice relaxing no pressure day, dad's bringing me dinner.

Tomorrow I get the house to myself again, I'm planning on working out in the morning, going to supermarket to get a few things, spend some time on more homework and may be clean.

I want to surprise my mom with a clean house since last week she had to spend it in the hospital with me, and I know it was very stressful for her. She had to cancel a trip to BVI that she has been planning for a while because of me being sick so I want do something nice for her.
Posted 2/9/2011 12:14 AM (GMT 0)
Endeavor, are you feeling better? Don't push yourself too much!

My day has gotten a bit better, but Dad didn't come to help with the garage door opener, and I have to work in the morning, so....I guess it'll wait.

Anyway, just being lazy...again, and watching more Sex and the City episodes.

Thanks for the hugs!

Oh I'm feeling the best I have in a while. Once they got the tube and infection out of my abscess things turned better quickly. : ) I know, I have habit of feeling good and over doing and paying for it later. That's why I took a relaxing lazy today.

Thanks for asking!

Glad to hear your day has gotten better : )
Posted 2/9/2011 12:54 AM (GMT 0)
My 2c: better to factor in some rest every day, instead of crash days :-). You're more likely to maintain consistency and health that way.

Grandma Ivy, fuss fuss fussing.
Posted 2/9/2011 1:02 AM (GMT 0)
Oh I know Ivy, I totally agree. I'm trying to work on having some what of a schedule to help me plan out my days but its hard when I don't have a job and not in school currently.
Posted 2/9/2011 1:55 AM (GMT 0)
Doesn't that make it easier, Endeavour?
Posted 2/9/2011 3:31 AM (GMT 0)
Well yes and no, I mean I don't have the pressure of being somewhere at a certain time and I don't have to worry about work. But it would be nice to have some sort of a constant schedule, be more productive. I tend to get depressed when I spend to much time at home. It's just been a long year of being stuck at home.
