Well, this day hasn’t gone as planned. I woke up not feeling good again today. My tummy rumbled and rolled all night. I have had 8 loose stools today. I called the doctor and they had me come in. He is testing for C-Diff as a precaution. It it is negative he will come up with a plan to help slow things down. Lord help me if it is positive. I was able to make it to town and back without issue. I did take some wet wipes with me just in case!
I will need to run a stool sample in to Emporia tomorrow morning. I went all afternoon before I got to the doctor’s office and then couldn’t go when I was there. I should have results tomorrow afternoon sometime.
Jim went to the rental to mow this afternoon – bless his heart. I wasn’t sure I could be away from the bathroom long enough to do much mowing.
I did go to Emporia this morning and got a gallon of house paint. I made it to town and home again with no issue. The problem began after I got home.
While I was in town this morning I stopped at the car wash and washed and vacuum my car. It was way overdue for some tender loving care. It is already dusty again but still looks better than it did earlier. We need rain badly.
We made an Airbnb reservation in Maryville, TN for two nights in October. We are going to Jim’s 50th college graduation reunion. I had a $100 coupon from Airbnb to use so we are staying in a cabin somewhere just outside of town. The place looks nice – has a kitchen, washer and dryer and is private.
My car tag sticker came in the mail today. I had ordered it last week. Nice to be able to cross a few things off my pending list today.
Right now I am feeling better. It seems to come in waves. Trusting I scared my tummy into behaving by going to the doctor and the C-Diff test will be negative. I want to be in good form to go to Nicole and Geoff’s wedding reception this weekend so decided I better get checked out so I can get on top of this in case it is C-Diff. Last time I felt much better within 24 hours of starting the medication.
Tomorrow will be a big day around here. The handyman is coming to install new exhaust fans in the bathrooms downstairs in the afternoon. At the same time we get new internet. Sure hoping the new internet will be the solution we have been waiting for. Then tomorrow evening some friends are coming over so we can celebrate the Summer Solstice and watch the full moon rise. I love sacred ceremony and it will be good for my soul to participate in this one.
I haven’t gotten much done today. I didn’t take a nap today and have wasted most of the day. I don’t have much energy and am feeling drained. Decided to baby myself today and not do anything.
Have some green chicken in the crock pot for dinner. Not sure if I will attempt to eat real food today or not. I had chicken noodle soup for lunch. May stick with that again tonight depending on how the tummy is feeling later.
The dog nail clippers I ordered came in. I tried them out and they worked great. My old pair was so dull I couldn’t clip through their thick nails.
Grateful the doctor’s office could get me in today, grateful Jim mowed at the rental house today, and grateful for rest days.
