I only got as far as cleaning the tub and shower yesterday, but it's a HUGE job. It's been a long time because I never got to it before surgery, and I haven't been able to do the bending and reaching up until now. And the thing is so big that I actually have to get into it to clean the shower. I cleaned the tub before maintenance shut off the water, and by the time it came back on, and I finished the shower, I was done for.

I am still constipated... would rather not take any Imodium, but I have to get to the grocery store today. I will have to take it tomorrow morning so I can go do laundry, and Monday morning so I can go get my nails done, too. I don't like the idea of having to take it at all right now, but I don't want to have to go while I'm out if at all possible... not ready for that yet. Still having D.
I was home for days. I don't know why I couldn't have gone then. This stinks.
Apparently it is going to take a lot longer than anyone, including my surgeon, expected for my belly to figure things out :(
But it's only been a month, so I guess I should be more patient. Not that I have a choice.

Kay,

You have indeed been patient.

I really hope for you that your body sorts things out.

After not being out of the apartment for days, getting through the grocery store was rough, and I’m really feeling it today. I have to get out more...

And I don’t mean to the laundromat, where we are now.

Kay,

I understand about not getting out.

For me staying home has to do with not wanting to deal with people.


I hope that you got your laundry done satisfactorily.

I didn't wake up until 10 Sunday morning, so I didn't go outside to smoke my first cigarettes of the day until about 10:15. In the 10-15 minutes I was out there, I saw a guy sell drugs to 2 cars on the side of the street pretty much right in front of my deck... right at the entrance to the apartment complex. It was blatant. No mistaking what was going on. It happened quickly, and I couldn't get a good enough look at the guy or the plates on the cars, so I decided not to call the police at that time. What useful information did I have?

When I told the girls at the nail salon what happened Sunday, and talked about our upstairs neighbors' drug use, one of the women said I should go to the police station and tell them that I was concerned about drug activity in my area, so that's what I did yesterday on my way home. The guy at dispatch wrote down some information and said that an officer would contact me. We'll see what comes of it.

So I got a manicure, and a rare pedicure yesterday, and felt pampered, but I was there for a long time. I ran some errands, and was wiped by the time I got home, but I had things to do, so it was really too late to take a nap.

I made chili and corned bread last night, and it came out great. But I pad for the chili... just like I paid for the salad I ate the night before. I guess I should know better, but I'm running out of things to make. I'm tired of cooking and eating the same old s-, and I miss eating veggies.
The only control I have over my BR problems at all is try to give myself extra time if I have to be somewhere in the morning/during the day, and take an Imodium when I get up so it has time to kick in. So far that has worked (knock on wood). I don't know if I can/should keep on doing that forever tho.

My kitchen is a mess. The dishwasher needs to be emptied, and my sink is full of dishes. I don't even want to go in there lol.
The rest of the apartment is a mess, too.
I will have to deal with the kitchen sometime soon today, but the rest can wait until tomorrow. I have nowhere I need to be for a while.

Dear kay,
I can't beleive it has been a month since your surgery.
I am sorry you have not been able to nap properly.
wishing you a good health for a happy new year.
(((((HUGS))))
love you

It honestly sounds like you are doing so well doing the things you are.
Remember it was an major surgery. So just give yourself a little more
time to recover. It might take time.
