I couldn't get ahold of the NP yesterday, but my gastro's medical assistant wasn't very concerned about the impaction because she thought that I was handling the problem well on my own, and I'm keeping food and drink down without vomiting, and my stomach isn't distended or hard, but told me to call the office if things get worse.

I can't take mag. citrate any earlier than 9:30pm so I'm not fighting with Corey for the BR in the morning, but I fell asleep on the couch before then because I was so tired, and when I woke up, I just couldn't make myself drink it...
But I can feel that the impaction has moved, and I had diarrhea on my own last night, so I'm less worried now, but will have to take the mag. citrate by tomorrow night at the latest (I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 11:30).

I see my pdoc tomorrow. I'm doing sooooooo much better than I was the last time I saw her, but I think I'm still a little too high. I don't know if she will increase the gabapentin by another 100mg or leave me where I am at. She will be happy that the surgery is in the works because she knows how much and how long I've been struggling.

I ended up just leaving that thumb nail alone, and just painting the rest of my nails the same color. I don't know if I can have polish on my nails when I have the surgery or not. I know that the rules have changed at some hospitals. I will need to see her prior to the surgery either take the polish off or do my nails again.

I'm waiting to hear back from the surgeon about my lab work. I hope that everything came back okay, but I haven't been eating well, so IDK. And IDK what she will do if it doesn't come back good.
I hope to find out more about what appointments I will need to go to, what testing I will have to have, and hopefully set a date for the surgery.
I don't like leaving things up in the air, and I hope that the appointments will be soon, before my brother goes back to work, so he can drive me.
