You are so good to Corey, With this going to his mom's since his
sister has bailed and him not wanting to go. He needs to realize
this. Especially after your surgery. I hope laundry went well.

I'm so looking forward to my families on the 30th of December.

Its the only time other than when I go and give our presents to
the kids and my kids that I'll celebrate. Not even srue what we are doing
for christmas this year.

We will see

Donna

It's ok to skip Christmas after major surgery.


Take care of your needs.


Lots of hugs.

Corey was being ridiculous on Sunday. I had finally had it with his temper, and without saying a word, I got up and moved into the bedroom to watch the rest of the Pat's game. I don't need that s-. I waited for about an hour and a half, and came out and asked him if he had gotten it out of his system, and he said he had, so I came back out into the living room, and he was much calmer.

In my family, we only buy gifts for the kids, but Corey's family expects presents... in my opinion too much of them. I did a lot yesterday, and finished all my shopping with the exception of buying 2 bottles of liquor, which I can pick up later in the week. No big deal. The candles are supposed to arrive today. I have a 1pm appointment. I would like to be here when they come, but FedEx will usually just leave packages here if nobody's home. I'm still waiting for my MIL's gift card to come in the mail. I'll feel much better when that arrives.

I will go to Corey's mother's house for "Christmas." She should reschedule it to accommodate his sister. Maybe she will. IDK. Corey's mother and step father are self-centered morons, who would not understand it if I did not show up- surgery or not. I will leave if I have to (for any reason), and come back to pick Corey up later.

I got my nails done!!! I feel so much better!!! Red glitter for the holidays
And it was wonderful to see Judy!

I've still been having problems with the D at night, but actually still being constipated. Last night I decided we would have Chinese food, and waited to take the Imodium to see if I could get things going. I went to the BR quite a bit. Still D but NO liquid. I finally took the Imodium at 9pm, and stopped going shortly after 10, which is MUCH better than the night I was up dealing with it until 1:30am. I feel better than I did yesterday. I think I will try the same thing tonight (minus the Chinese food) so I can hopefully feel even better.

I saw my pdoc yesterday. She's f'ing amazed at how well I'm doing physically and psychologically. It seems like she's waiting for me to break under all the stress, but we made an appointment for 4 weeks out with the understanding that I would contact her, or come in, earlier if I need to.

I see the NP in my PCP's office at 1pm today. I think the appointment is pointless. I don't think they can do anything for me, but I have to go.

What a great post! I am happy that your pdoc is happy with you for being pretty darn stable!
I get so mad at corey but you know that.
heavy sigh
(((((HUGS))))


red glitter sounds like fun for the holidays!!!!!!!
Good luck with the presents in the mail and with your christmas preparations.
yes you can always go back and pick up corey later if you need to leave.

I personally think you are amazing. I am so happy you are
doing so well. I think you will keep going and show the world.

Corey can just get over himself or stay in a room by himself
period.

This morning I weighed 133.2lbs, which is about 2 pounds heavier than I have been weighing in at since I've been weighing myself since leaving the hospital. But I had Chinese food 2 days in a row, so it's probably water weight. I'm still happy I put a couple of pounds on tho.

The trip to see the NP turned out NOT to be a waste of time. I have acne that is from a hypersensitivity reaction to something, probably a med... my guess is it's from the bright blue dye in the last Klonopin pills I got from the pharmacy. It happened with lithium, and looks exactly the same as when that started, but hasn't gotten as bad. She prescribed me two meds to take care of it, one for day and one for night, but still wants me to see the dermatologist.
The rest of the appointment revolved around me updating her on the surgery, my recovery, and lots of poop talk. She said my incisions looked fantastic. She had me get some blood drawn. I should be ale to see the results tomorrow morning. I'm curious about how my kidneys are functioning.

I took the 2nd Imodium later again yesterday, and went to the BR a lot. I'm no longer constipated, and feel MUCH more comfortable today. So, as long as I'm not going anywhere, that is what I will be doing from now on. I'm going to try adding the extra FiberCon tonight to see if it helps. I just hope it doesn't make matters worse.

My MIL's gift certificate came in the mail yesterday, and I went to the liquor store, so my shopping is all done!!! Wrapping should be easy since most things will be going in bags. I feel badly that I only sent my nephews gift certificates this year, but I'm not really up to being creative.

I have an appointment with my neurologist at 11:45 this morning. I may go buy more MJ afterwards since I'll be close by. IDK. I want to get some cleaning done today... at least the BR.

I have to get my a- into the shower now so I won't be late for my appointment.
