Poopy stuff
Jan 25, 2012
I have never had constipation issues. I was constipated once, when I was heavily medicated after Glen's death. Two days ago I had a hard, hard stool that I could not pass. I used glycerin suppositories to soften it up several times until I could finally go. I've begun to add colace to my daily vitamins, hoping that will help. Today I had the same problem. It was like childbirth! I could live without ever having this again. It took the glycerin suppositories all day before I could finally go. I was sick and in pain all day. I don't have that much in me, so I don't really understand how it can be this bad.I continue to struggle with the water, but am pretty close to a liter a day.
I'm having muscle aches in my legs every day. I've been taking the tramadol almost every day when I'm at work. I still can't seem to get comfortable because my bones hurt my tissues wherever the pressure points are.
The good news is that I tried on the size 18 pants and they seem to fit. My bottom is always smaller than my top, so I'm still a size 20 in the shirts. That hasn't really changed my shirt wardrobe as most of them are 20/22. The size 18 tops are getting pretty close to fitting.
I went home sick today and don't plan to go in to work tomorrow. I would like to get some things put on Craigslist for the weekend. I'm hoping I can get that accomplished tomorrow. I've not had anything good to eat in the last few days, so I think I'll go for Taco Cabana tomorrow. The rice and beans and chicken are very satisfying.
More good stuff - we bought a bedroom set today. Finally! The set I have from Winnipeg was old before and now the dresser is falling apart. We debated which set was the right one, but ended up with a medium priced one. It's a nice one and I'm pleased. I think we made the right decision. Plus now I'm in a king bed. No more being too crowded to move at night. Neither Harry nor I are small people. The dog and two cats just take up a little too much room. It will be delivered in a week. Hooray!
