I wouldn't dare to try and figure out what you can eat.

But I am wondering what about something like an smoothie.

You know the things like strawberry/banana.

No clue if that would work but I love them. I love the ones with
chocolate syrup in. Too bad the best ones closed their place here.

That is a good idea, Donna.

That is a good idea, Donna!
I should probably stay away from too much fruit right now because I'm only supposed to be eating easily digested foods, but bananas are okay. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous, I could whip up something with those

Judy always asks me how I'm feeling when I see her, and I fill her in on what's going on, then we just move on. I (usually) don't dwell on things. I had a great time yesterday, and I laughed a lot. I love seeing Judy, and the other girls who work there. I'm also acquainted with a lot of the other customers, many of whom I really like. There are a lot of nurses who go there. My next appointment is on a Thursday, and in the morning, which is when I used to get my nails done, so I will see more familiar faces.
I got my nails painted with lilac polish. It's a very pretty color. I really like it

My hair is a f'ing mess!!! I'm getting it cut in colored today, and it REALLY needs it. I think stress really CAN cause grey hairs because I've never had so many white hairs before. I have some streaks of them now!!! I can't wait to get my hair fixed. It's so long, it's hard to put up agin, too.

I ended up vacuuming the apartment yesterday, but I skipped the office. I was in no mood to move the cat boxes and litter pail around because they're so heavy. I used a baking soda-based carpet powder, so the whole apartment smelled fresh and clean when I was done. I think I will clean the bathroom when I get home today.

In the BR dept. everything is much of the same. I had applesauce, 1/2 of a banana, and 1/2 of a can of Progresso chicken and rice soup yesterday. I kinda f'ed up when I bought ice cream the last time, and bought the worst kind I could- cookies and cream. I shouldn't be eating Oreo cookies, but I ate it, and a lot of it, last night anyway. I weighed 136.6lbs this morning, so I gained a little more than 1/2lb, and I'm happy about that
But my belly is getting pretty full. I really only pass gas or have D in the morning. I will have to palpate my stomach later in the day to see how much things have moved before I decide what/how much I can eat. I know I have not been eating much, but I still may be overdoing it, and it may catch up to me eventually

Kay

Keep thinking on the fruits maybe you can think of another one
that will be smooth and be okay. I wish I had other idea's for
you. But I think maybe even if you bought say strawberry syrup
and put just a small amount in it would taste good. And that might
be good also.

I think when it comes to your office, I'd say to Corey that he needs
to move the cat boxes for you. And figure out ahead of time were in
the room he could move them, and leave them till the next time
you want them moved back maybe. That way you could sweep in
there too.

Donna

I am glad that you have your nails done regularly and that you enjoy judy so much. Happy that you like the other gals as well and are friendly with the other clients there too.
I hope you figure out what you can eat....it sounds like what you are eating is good. what about dry toast? crackers?mashed potatoes, pasta?
good luck with corey!
glad that you have a good smelling apartment(if I read that right)

Corey is not going to move the cat boxes so that I can vacuum. He would tell me to leave the vacuuming until I feel up to it.

I had to call Verizon AGAIN this morning regarding a trade-in credit for my old phone. First, they never applied it to our account. This time, I got an email saying there was a change to our next bill, and when I went to view it, I saw they actually CHARGED us $450 for it, so the bill was almost $600. Hopefully, this time they get it right, or I'm going to flip out. I still think the bill is too high. When they correct it, I will have to go over it again.

Corey tried printing something out for work last night, but it didn't come out right. Most of the text was missing. I thought it was because of the format of the document, but I couldn't print out one word of my med list this morning. I can try replacing the ink cartridges (which are not empty), but I've been having other problems with the printer, so I'm pretty sure it's s-, even though it's only about 6 months old. IDK. I may not waste the money on ink since it's so expensive. I may just buy a new printer. I will talk to Corey about it... not that he has the final word on these things.

Now I have to handwrite my LONG med list for my appointment with the nephrologist today. It's at 3pm. I f'ing hate these kind of late afternoon appointments. His office is over 1/2 hour away, and is in a very high-traffic area, so the ride to and from there is going to be a nightmare, and I'm going to be SOOOO TIRED by then.

I viewed my lab results online. I have obviously been doing a good job taking care of myself even though I've been on a restrictive diet because everything was normal, and my kidney function was much better than I expected

Vegetables and fruits, except applesauce and bananas, are not easily digestible, especially not for me. I will eat the veggies in soup tho because they have been cooked down so much that they are okay.
I'm trying to only eat things that are soft/easily digestible and light, and keep portions small. I have had small amounts of crackers and toast with butter. Pasta and mashed potatoes are soft, but they're heavy, and aren't very easily digestible. I have been craving mashed potatoes like crazy for a long time tho. I would love to have them tonight, but IDK...
I really don't know WHAT to do anymore. I'm so f'ing frustrated with this whole situation. I don't just have to worry about today, I have to worry about what will happen down the road if I keep shoveling food down my throat with next to nothing coming out the other end. I can only hope that I'm making the right decisions from day to day. I am OVER this, and need all this like I need another hole in my head

I'm really agitated today. I could use more Klonopin, but there's no way I can take more because of that 3pm appointment. I am SO agitated, I will have to be cautious talking to people. My mood may be shifting again...

great about your lab results! I have the same printer and don't trust it. I am so sorry about bowel problems. i wonder how watermelon would do.It has to be so annoying and frustrating.

I'm sorry Kay.

Hope your appointment goes good.

Donna

I am hoping you were able to get your nephrologists appointment with out incident. That was a bad time...nap time....Hoping you get a good nights rest tonight.
sorry about your printer, ours is fairly new...think it is an HP.
How is your pain level these days?
Hoping you still use the MMJ for spasms and helps you get to sleep.
I bet your doctor today liked you lab results.

Last night I stopped feeling the same level of resistance when I tried to push, so I felt my stomach, and the mass in the lower left side of my stomach is almost gone! So, I'm FINALLY clearing that impaction!
Unfortunately, I have a large mass around the area where I had the obstruction (mid-to-lower right side). But I have no pain, so I'm not in trouble there (yet). Everything in there is probably D, and will hopefully continue to move through there okay, even if it's slowly. Then hopefully, I won't have the same problem with the lower narrowing again either.

I had a little ground beef in brown gravy over mashed potatoes last night. It was fantastic!!!
But my stomach went wild for a couple of hours afterwards. It's not used to digesting anything like that. I slept upright on the couch last night because I was falling asleep, but my stomach was still doing its thing. It's still doing something this morning, too. So, the mashed potatoes may have been a bad idea
I weighted 137.1lbs this morning... better.

I'm still agitated, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. It was a combination of a lot of things that set me off. I was due to increase the Lamictal to 150mg this morning anyway, so hopefully that will help... quickly.

The nephrologist was very happy with my blood work, and agreed I have been taking very good care of myself. The appointment was pointless other than to fill him in on what's been going on tho. He can't do the urine studies he needs to give him more info about what may be causing my kidney disease because I'm not healthy right now. The last time they were done, they came back all f'ed up because I was taking all that mag. citrate. I'm going to see him in 6 months, with the hopes that my bowel issues are under control (they likely won't be). He wants me to make an appointment with my local GI (I will do that). He thinks having to call the hospital for help, and waiting until June 28th to try to start figuring out what's going on is ridiculous. I didn't get home until almost 5pm.

My pain in general is absolutely horrible. I could barely get my head back into the sink when I got my hair done Wednesday because the pain in my neck and shoulders was so bad. I'm not in the mood to talk about ALL of my pain issues. The only thing I can take for pain during the day is Tylenol (I can't take NSAIDS like Advil, Aleve, or Aspirin). I smoked pot almost immediately when I got home yesterday, and it helped... a lot. I smoked three times yesterday for that reason.

The printer is an HP office jet 3830, Bizi. Bobby and I have the same one because I thought it was great when I got it. I'm sorry about that, Bobby. I didn't know it was a piece of s-. The reviews were excellent. I haven't had it long, and I don't print much, so this is very disappointing. I'm getting rid of it, and won't be getting another HP. I will do some looking today. I will not be as cheap this time around. I guess you get what you pay for.

I have to pick up thyroid pills for Rocky. I hope that I don't have to wait too long for the prescription for too long. I would like to be home early enough in the day to take a nap. Even though things are going better, I just don't feel well today.
