I have a motility disorder because of the MS, so things that work for you guys, or may even have made you very sick in the past, will not work for me.
The NP told me to keep taking the Linzess, and to resume all the meds I was taking before I got impacted and got diverticulitis. That plan isn't going to work. My gastro is out of the office this week, but the NP is going to consult one of the other MDs because constipation in patients with spinal cord injuries and diseases like MS is so difficult to manage (I have two large lesions in my spinal cord). I'm supposed to call back today. I'll call some time after noon because I'm sure talking about my constipation isn't at the top of their to-do list today. In the meantime, I'm considering cleaning myself out again and starting over. SOOOOOO sick of this ****.
My husband broke the toilet seat, so I went to Lowes to pick up another one. Despite cleaning the one we've had for over 6yrs, I couldn't figure out whether I should be buying wood or plastic and had to call my husband, who told me to buy a plastic one. Turns out we had a wooden one. I still spent another good half an hour staring at and playing with toilet seats before I finally decided on one. I have a terrible time making decisions, even simple ones.
It was important to me to buy one that wouldn't slam when you close it, but didn't realize we're both in the habit of closing it gently behind us. This one closes very, very slowly and my husband and the cats are enthralled by watching it lol.
I feel sedated just by adding that tiny 25mg dose of seroquel back this morning. At least I feel calmer. I would love to go back to bed right now, but I have laundry going down the hall. I'll see how I feel after I fold it. The bathroom and kitchen floors really need to be mopped, but even if I skip the nap, I'm not confident I'd get that done because of the sedation.
I got my finger jammed in the dryer door and did a real number on it. I have a deep cut and bent the nail in the middle of the nail bed. At least I have a good reason to flip my husband the bird when he gets home from work today lol.
