Morning all. 6.2 ( and a unicorn) when I woke at 5.20.
Had a rubbish night after a rubbish day. Blooming stomach again. One minute I couldn’t go to the loo and had terrible gripes, lower back pain and my stomach was unbelievably bloated all day. I actually couldn’t see my feet! I hardly ate anything all day, I felt so nauseous and fatigued. I’m assuming I had a slight blockage. Then my bowels decided they’d work at 11.30pm, 1.30 am, 3.30am and 5.30am! That’s when I got up, then back on the loo at 6am and 6.30am! Fingers crossed that’s it. I do feel hungry this morning which is good I suppose, I’ve had one slice of toast and two loperamide for breakfast! I’ve got a hair appointment at 10 and am supposed to meet youngest two daughters for lunch. I may have to cancel. You know what, the diabetes is a doddle compared with the gastric issues.

But at least I can see my feet today. Every cloud and all that.
Sorry for whinging but it’s so frustrating that no one can help, “ you’re too complex” is what my GP said. So I’m left to deal with it myself. It’s not easy dealing with the fact I don’t have a pancreas and don’t produce the enzymes needed to digest my food, I i also have the delightfully named gastric dumping syndrome and I have adhesions from my surgeries which are wrapped around my small intestine making part of it permanently narrow, I also have diverticulitis, this means I should eat lots of fibre but I can’t eat lots of fibre, nuts, seeds, fruit and veg because I have a narrowed small intestine! And not forgetting of course I’ve also got diabetes! If I didn’t laugh I’d cry, which I felt like at 3.30 this morning. Ah well, today’s another day, let’s see how things go.
Have a good ‘un.
