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!
