A much quieter day on several fronts today. No emergency runs to the bathroom so far today. Things are slowing down! Yay!
I did get a response from the Gastroenterologist today. She wants me to have a different type of stool test done. I went to Emporia and picked up the collection kit so when I do go I can collect a sample to take in tomorrow.
Jim took me to Council Grove to drop off the router to the internet company I fired. I didn’t ask and they didn’t say if I have to pay the cancellation fee.
I took a short nap when we got home from Council Grove. I had slept fairly well last night but woke up at 6:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m still pretty low on energy but not running to the bathroom has helped me recharge a bit today.
I am attempting to drink a gallon of fluids today. I am well over half way through it. The blood in my urine is clearing up. Things are moving in the right direction today.
I have some chicken tenders thawed to fix for dinner tonight. Not sure I will be able to eat them but will grill them and see what happens. I made some ham salad to snack on. I ate a couple bites of that and so far my tummy hasn’t screamed at me.
I called the construction company that my plumber recommended. I talked to the office lady and the guy was supposed to call me back this afternoon but hasn’t so far. Trusting he will call tomorrow and I won’t have to pressure him to call. I never did hear back from the guy that I want to look at the foundation of the rental house. What is it about construction guys and their inability to return calls?
I tracked down all the critters but one cat and gave them their flea and tic medication. Jim will have to catch the remaining cat and help me dose it. She is a bit shy and doesn’t like her medication.
Nothing on the calendar tomorrow except taking a stool sample to the clinic. I need to stop and get a few groceries when I go to town. The kids may be coming out Saturday night for dinner and I need a few things for that.
We don’t have anything on our calendar all of next week either. Jim teaches his last class on Tuesday evening and then may attempt another trip to Stillwater after that. He stayed home this week so he could be around in case I needed help.
I need to start making a list of things I want to take to CO. We are going for three weeks starting July 30. We will be cooking in our cabin most meals so I like to take things that make that easy.
We didn’t get any rain today. The deck was wet this morning but we have managed to go the rest of the day without rain. It has been partly cloudy most of the day. It is to clear up and start warming up again. I will have to mow this weekend after it dries out some more.
I trust today has been a turning point and wellness is returning. I am feeling better today than I have for two weeks. It is nice to have a bit of respite and remember what feeling good feels like.
Grateful for good health today, grateful the router was returned, and grateful for a quiet day at home.
