the more I think about what your mother said the more angry I get!

I am sorry you two grew up in a disfunctional family.

I would say "dysfunctional" is really an understatement. I don't want to talk about my childhood anymore tho because it's triggering

I signed up for Amazon Prime for the free 2 day shipping. My father in law bought us an Amazon Echo a while ago, so we've been able to stream music through it for free (and we use it for other things, too). This weekend, Corey found an Amazon app on our TV, so now we can watch movies and TV shows for free, too (you can also do it on a computer but ours are old and crappy). There are soooo many good movies available! I guess the $12.99/mo I pay is really worth it

I pretty much slept the weekend away. I think part of that is because I was up late and woke up early in the morning, but my naps are longer in general. I hope this is not the new norm.
I would like to say it's in part because my dose of gabapentin is too high, but the last time I tried to cut back, my anxiety went sky high. I don't have an appointment with my pdoc until the 13th. I want to try to cut back on it again, and would rather not wait, but I don't feel comfortable flying solo.

X-ray today, and hopefully a little cleaning. With all the sleeping I've been doing my housekeeping has really suffered

How did the xray go and did you find out anything from the results?

The NP at the gastro's office called me 4 times yesterday evening
Despite having all that diarrhea, I still have 14 of the 24 Sitz Markers I swallowed a week ago in me (not good). The good news is they're scattered all over my colon, not just all hanging out in my sigmoid colon where the hernia/prolapse would be if it's there
Now I have to try to get them out of me, and have another x-ray on Friday to make sure they are all gone. So... mag. citrate. I took a bottle this morning, and will have to take another one before Friday, and hope that does the trick.

I planned on taking the mag. citrate last night, but didn't want to wake up too early and need to use the BR while Corey was getting ready for work, so I tried to stay up late, but ended up passing out on the couch. I didn't take my night meds until 2:30am, and I was up at 6:30, and I feel f***ed up because I'm still under the influence of them (700mg of Seroquel alone will do that)...

Between that, and the nausea from the mag. citrate, I am feeling terrible this morning. It would be nice if I could go back to bed soon and sleep off this misery.

Glad that you like your Echo.

Really hope that you are having a good sleep.

Wow, glad they were able to see them. sorry that they have not passed yet.you were still having diarrhea this past week?

[OhKay]

Yes, diarrhea almost every day!
I thought it was a reaction to the Sitz markers, but the NP said it must have been "overflow diarrhea" because I was so constipated. That has happened before.

After almost exactly 24hrs, the bottle of mag. citrate I took yesterday is finally doing something! But I think I'm going to have to take 2 bottles tonight if I want to have a chance of passing those markers.

I'm not going to be able to do laundry this week because I'll be a prisoner to laxatives for the next 2 days, and I'll be busy with the x-ray and an appointment with my neurologist on Friday. That means I'll have a big load of laundry to do on Monday.

Yesterday I cleaned the inside and outside of the shower/tub (big job). I guess being stuck at home is a good opportunity to do more cleaning. I may vacuum the rugs in the 2 (small) bedrooms. IDK. The kitchen needs some work, too.

I really need to get out to buy cigarettes at some point, too. I'm sure that based on what I'm dealing with now, I should be able to do that later.

[OhKay]

That bottle of mag. citrate yielded pitiful results . I took 2 bottles at 6 this morning. Hopefully I will get better results much more quickly this time (fingers crossed).

I'm very nauseous right now, and it's freezing in here because Corey shut the heat off last night when he got hot. I'm miserable, so I think I'll be going back to bed very soon.

I can't tell you how tired I am of being so constipated all the time, and having to take all this magnesium citrate...

I'm just overwhelmed my all of my medical issues in general.
I wish I didn't have to see my neuro tomorrow. I would like to avoid dealing with my MS for a while with everything else going on...

I hope you get some good rest today sweetie.
