A very good and very early Sunday morning. 6.7. I’ve been up since 5 and awake since 3.20am! I’m definitely going to need a nana nap later. 😱
Yesterday’s wedding started fine, no hugs, everyone understood. Lovely to see all the family after such a long time. Wedding ceremony at 2.30 in the venue, short and sweet. Then canapés arrived, I hadn’t eaten since my breakfast at 9, which to be fair was sausage, bacon and egg. I thought maybe the wedding breakfast was going to be about 6, but no, 4.30! (BGs 9.3 as I hadn’t bolused for canapés as they just appeared on the terrace where we were all mingling, I had no idea of carbs etc. I also didn’t have any Creon! ) It was very nice, I had chicken liver pâté and baked salmon. Didn’t finish it though. Absolutely stuffed. At 7 the evening party started and we did some dancing, thought I might have forgotten how but I busted some moves! I was still really full at this stage and hot and uncomfortable. Got a glass of water, I’d had a couple of glasses or sparkly stuff and another couple of a mediocre white wine, and went outside to cool down. I really didn’t feel well. BGs 9.1. Again, it had been difficult to bolus for the meal, I had decided on a split dose in the end, couldn’t inject in tummy as had a dress on so did them in my upper arms, which are quite thin and I’m certain the bolus doesn’t work as well. Anyhoo, a bit more prancing around the dance floor with the grandchildren and I felt really, really ill. My stomach was becoming very, very bloated. My lower back was aching and my mouth was so dry it was unbearable . Classic signs of a blocked small intestine, so we quietly slipped away at 10pm. Have had a very restless night, very bad reflux, uncomfortable stomach, been to the loo twice! So I’m up, drinking water and eating white toast as I was kind of feeling hungry. Low residue diet for a few days plus teeny tiny portions should sort me out. I feel annoyed with my self, I should have said no to the canapés but when in Rome…..oh I didn’t have any evening buffet BTW, I think I may have died if I did! I haven’t really had many “opportunities” to test out my permanent partially blocked bowel since my emergency trip to hospital last November but I now know for certain that it doesn’t like canapés! Pity I do.
If you’ve managed to get through that tale without falling asleep, have a great Sunday, I will mostly not be eating.😳 Here’s a before pic, we scrub up ok for a couple of decrepit old codgers!
