Kay,

I hope that you got some good rest Sunday.


Have a good week.

I feel like I'm sleeping my life away. My naps are running between 3-5 hours now. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if I woke up feeling better after I got up... ?

Last night I passed out on the couch after I smoked MJ again. I guess I'm going to have to get into bed right after I smoke that kind of pot.

Because I'm ridiculous... I went looking for different soap dispensers on Bed Bath and Beyond's website, and I found a beautiful one that will match everything in the bathroom perfectly, so I bought it. I still have to return the other one to the store tho. I may buy the matching trash can while I'm there. IDK.

I'm going to do laundry today. For some reason there wasn't a lot of dirty clothes, so I'll be able to wash a set of sheets and two sets of towels this time around. Usually I can't fit them in the bag because Corey as so many dirty work clothes.

Tomorrow I have to go to the gastro's office and swallow the pill for the Sitz Marker test, and then I have several days of X-rays to look forward to. I'm not allowed to use any laxatives during the test period, so I doubt I will be able to go to the BR and pass any of the markers.
On Thursday I have a Pap Smear. I wonder if my GYN will be able to feel that prolapse/hernia if it is there? On the cat scan, it was up against my uterus.

And on Friday I'm supposed to have my nails done, but I doubt Judy will be in any shape to work yet, so I don't know how that will shake out. I'm sure Chi will come up with something. She knew Judy would deliver early.

I am sorry you are sleeping so much and
that you are not feeling better upon rising.
good luck at the laundromat.
I hope you have a good day, and like your nails.

I didn't do laundry on Monday. I was so constipated I decided to stay home and take a bottle of mag. citrate instead so I could give the markers a better chance to make it down to my colon. Unfortunately, it took 23 hours for the mag. citrate to work, and I didn't start going to the BR until Tuesday morning... when I was supposed to take the pill with the markers.

The medical assistant said it was still okay to take the pill with the markers, but I still worry that having diarrhea from the mag.citrate that morning will effect the test. Oh well. Anyway... instead of having to have multiple X-rays, as is usually done with this test, I only have to have ONE done on day 7 (Monday). So, that is a big relief.

I got the laundry done yesterday without any issues!
And for the first time in about a month and a half, the restroom at the laundromat wasn't "out of order," but I had to ask for TP. It was nice to be able to wash all those linens... a rare opportunity. I love having clean sheets on the bed!

I have to get out to the butcher shop sometime today. I think I'll buy extra meat and freeze some. The store I go to isn't convenient for me to get to since we moved, and I've had bad experiences both times I've been to the one closer to me.

Then maybe I will go return the soap dispenser to BBB. IDK. The two places are not exactly close to one another.

I don't understand why only one picture in 7 days????
It made more sense to do them every other day.
oh well.
Glad that you got to sleep on clean sheets!
Have a good day kay.

The Sitz Marker Study is usually done to test for constipation due to slow transit time (vs. other causes of constipation). We already know I have that. I'm sure my gastro doesn't expect me to pass the markers before day 7, so I guess he's just saving me the hassle of going through all those unnecessary x-rays. He ordered the test because he wants to see if the markers get hung up in a certain area because the last CAT scan I had showed I have a hernia/prolapse of my sigmoid colon...
He said if they get hug up there, he would recommend having that section of my colon removed. So, obviously I'm very worried. He didn't see anything internally during the colonoscopy (when I was cleaned out) tho, so I'm trying to be optimistic.

I had my annual with my GYN yesterday at 8am. Then later, I had my nails done. Judy came in just to do two clients (including me). I can't believe she's back working at all so soon! It was sooooo nice to see her tho, and to see more pictures of the baby. Of course my nails came out looking great... #96, my favorite shade of red

I cleaned the bathroom when I got home, and I set up the new soap dispenser and the matching tissue cover and trash basket. The room looks very pretty now, and I'm happy with the effect

Long day yesterday.
I think just food shopping today.

Judy is a living doll! She effortlessly draws me out, and we talk a lot. I enjoy going to the nail salon because I'm comfortable there, and I socialize a lot in general. I feel honored that she came in so soon after having her baby to do my nails. I still think she needs more time to rest, but she's stubborn. We have that, and a lot of other things, in common. I'm going to text her today to see how she's doing.

I got to sleep in until 6:30 this morning. It may have been later if Rocky didn't decide it was time for me to wake up... kinda hard to ignore a 20+lb cat walking all over you and chirping in your ear. I fed him, so he got what he wanted, and isn't bothering Corey, who's still sleeping.

We watched the Justice League last night. We stayed interested, but I can't say it was a good movie. It was disappointing.

I am glad judy is in your life!
It is nice to be nice!

I was up late again last night watching movies with Corey, but was up at 6:30am again this morning, and I can't blame it on Rocky this time.

I've had some problems since I swallowed the pill with the Sitz markers. I called the gastro's office Friday to ask if my symptoms were normal, but never connected with the NP. My concerns are not urgent tho, and I will live.
I go for the X-Ray tomorrow, and hopefully that's the end of the test, so I can try to get however many markers that are still in me out. I'm very curious/concerned about how many are left and where they are...
I'm VERY constipated, but could still have passed at least some of them (fingers crossed) because I've been having some diarrhea.

I would like to get some cleaning done today, but I can already tell that's not going to happen. I'm exhausted, so I expect I'll be having an early and long nap. Corey's still in bed, and will expect me to feed him whenever he gets up. I hope he gets up soon.
