So, nothing happened yesterday, but I was very tired, probably from not really getting enough calories in for a few days. I decided to try eating some applesauce for lunch, and it went down fine, so I had a piece of toast with my veggie broth at dinner, and that went down okay, too. I just have to be VERY careful about eating too many solid foods while things are not moving because I have a very short gut since the surgery (only 1 foot of large intestine remaining), so those types of foods should really be a luxury for the time being. Unfortunately, I'm down about another 1/2lb.

I am happy because I'm having some D this morning LOL
I hope that it's a breakthrough, and it continues (fingers crossed)

We haven't seen that kid, or his bike, since Sunday, but sometimes he disappears for a while, and Corey said at one point he thought it may be due to a custody arrangement. But he doesn't remember thinking/saying that now... Now he thinks that the mother complained to the office about me swearing at her kid, and they told her that he can't keep his bike down there. But I never heard anything from the office, so I have no idea whether she contacted them or not.
Last night I remembered she said something in her ramblings about the situation not being "about beer cans and cigarette butts," and I dawned on me that soon after we moved in, I had complained to the office about someone flicking TONS of cigarette butts off of one of the decks above us, but didn't know who it was. I guess it was one of them, and they figured out it was me who complained lol. But I have no idea what she was talking about when she said beer cans tho. If they were throwing beer cans off of their deck, then they are super-classy lol. So, she was probably already pretty PO'ed at me before I ever swore at her kid.

I'm out of MJ, so I will go out to get more today unless I need to stay close to the BR. I usually grind more than I need to pack the vaporizer, and save the excess in a container. I can smoke some of that if I can't make it to the dispensary today.

Oh, there is really no new neighbor stuff that we are really aware of. I just never put the whole cigarette butt thing together before the other day. I was never aware of any issue before then. But we forgot that IF she complained about me swearing at her kid to the office, that naturally the bike arrangement with our next door neighbor would come up, and she would run the risk of losing it because of the office's policy of no bikes on ANY patios (HAHA).

I felt absolutely horrible yesterday. I was drinking a lot of different fluids (coffee, water, apple juice, Gatorade, gingerale, root beer), but I must have still been dehydrated. I have also lost A LOT of weight. Before I got sick with the terrible D in the days leading up to the bowel obstruction, I weighed just over 148lbs. This morning I weighed 135.4lbs
I had some D yesterday, but no enough to advance my diet much. I did have some applesauce for lunch, and at dinner time had a little white rice that I made with chicken broth and seasoned. Then I had a HUGE chocolate ice cream cone. I've been eating a TON of ice cream every night throughout this whole thing, so I have been getting calories from that.
I had more D this morning, and am hoping for a lot more so that I'll be in the clear, and can start eating normally again SOON. I made brownies shortly before all of this, and they've been in the fridge haunting me. I'd throw them out, but Corey is still eating them. When I feel better, I'm going to make fresh ones, and eat the whole pan!!!
I have an appointment with Dr. Chen, but it's not until June 28th, so I'm going to have to manage things without any kind of long-term solution until then.

I made it to the dispensary yesterday. I'm very disappointed in the way things are there now that they've opened their business up to recreational sales even though they promised that medical marijuana patients would always be their main priority. The parking lot is a nightmare, and makes me very nervous, so I have to park far away from the building. I spent 10 minutes in the waiting room, and 15 minutes in line on the sales floor (I had to sit in one of the chairs provided), and they no longer offer as many products as they used to. They did have one of my favorite strains this time tho. It's called "Brandywine." I bought 3 different kinds for a total of 1/4.
I think that next time I need to buy MMJ, I'm going to have to go to a different dispensary. It's further away, and I would have to take a risk by buying it in a larger quantity without having tried it before, but I think it's time to try someplace less stressful with more options (they have a huge menu there).

I need to make a quick trip to the store today, and think I'll pick up some Ensure while I'm there. It's time. There are a lot of other things I'd like to get done, but I'll probably never get around to doing any of them.

I just wanted to write a quick response.
I am glad that you were finally able to get some med mj. Yes and a different one hopefully will be better for your safety needs.
Sorry about your neighbors, hope things don't escalate.

Yesterday's weight scared me. I ended up buying a pretty big bottle of Chocolate Muscle Milk (suggested by an RN in my PCP's office), which has a lot of protein in it, and it wasn't totally gross. I wish I had tried it before buying the 4 pack of Ensure Max Protein that cost me $10 at Walgreens, which will probably be hard to get down.
I also had about 1/2 of a can of Progresso Beef Barely soup and 2 of Corey's tater tots for dinner (I made him a hamburger). I didn't have any nausea, indigestion, or discomfort, but my belly is really full, so I know I over did it. Unless I go to the BR A LOT today, I will have to go back to liquids because things are still just not moving and I can't get too backed up
But when I weighed myself this morning, the scale said I'm back up to 137lbs, so the protein drink and soup at least helped with that.
I'm still praying for a breakthrough. I wish I could take more than just Miralax, but in my situation, it would be dangerous.

I ran several errands yesterday, including going grocery shopping. I should have been home by 2:30, but didn't get home until after 4 because of all of the traffic and crowds due to the holiday weekend. I'm glad I got everything done tho. By the time I got home, I was exhausted, but it was too late to take a nap, so I had to settle for resting on the couch.

Last night I smoked some of MMJ I bought the other day. I have bought that strain before, so I assumed I liked it. I did not. But fortunately, I only bought a small quantity of it. I will just mix it with something better, and hope for better results next time, so it won't go to waste. Tonight I will try the strain I've never smoked before. It should be better.

We ran into the father of the kid upstairs when we were coming in with the groceries. We were in a rush, but I thanked him for his note, and said I would take him up on his offer, and call him if there were problems. He seemed happily surprised, and promised we'd have our space.
I heard him tell the boys not to park on the concrete at all... that means not on our neighbor's side of the patio either. The boys were parking there bikes all over the place yesterday. Not ON the patios, but sometimes on the walking/bike path that circles the buildings right in front of our apartment or our neighbor's. We saw the father picking up and moving the bikes several times, also moving it away from our neighbor's apartment. He brought the kid's bike upstairs last night, too.
So, either our neighbor finally said enough is enough, and the kid can't park his bike on his patio anymore either, or the mother did contact the office, and they told her there's no more parking it there. IDK. But things are better because the father is paying more attention to what the boys are doing now, and maybe he will get tired of moving the bikes around all the time, and finally lay down the law.
We are still taking pictures tho. Lots of pictures actually because they are constantly moving the bikes around to inappropriate places. Obviously these kids refuse to listen to anyone. Their new thing is running and jumping down the metal fire stairs, which is VERY loud. The father is going to think I'm a b- but we're not putting up with that crap for long either, and eventually I'll have to call him unless they stop. Corey wants me to reject the father's offer and just call the office because he's had enough of their s-, but I'm not going to do that.

I have nowhere to be today since I got all of my errands done yesterday. I hope to finally get some cleaning done!!!

Glad that you ran into the father.
I wish there was a park there so the boys could

exert their energies in more suitable areas.
Glad that you got your running around done yesterday.
Don't over do cleaning.
Hoping that you are napping right now.
