Crohn's Quine Diary Roundup: 9 - 15th September 2013
Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a good weekend. Today is Monday so that means it's time for a Crohn's Quine Diary Roundup, if you would like to see my diary entry's as soon as post them, then follow my Crohn's Quine Diary blog.
Monday 9th September
I have finally solved the candle issue which hopefully means no more arguing with mum over them. I have found a electric tart burner on the Yankee Candle website.
Now it is not the most attractive thing but if it means I can still have the lovely Yankee Candle scents then I don't care.
Today has been pretty much the same as the other day's health wise accept today I have develop 2 cold sores and an ulcer on my tongue. I don't if I should phone my GI or not because I am really scared that if I do that something will happen like being admitted to hospital and then I won't be able to go to London to see Paramore at the end of September.
So I had to take my kitty cat Snowball to the vet this evening with her sore leg, the vet examined her the best she could and said that Snowball has inflammation in her hip. The vet gave her a 7 day course of metacam but if she is still having problems after she has finished the metacam I will have to take her back to the vet so they can sedate her to get a proper look at the hip and they will also do an x-ray.
Tuesday 10th September
I am losing the battle against whatever is causing my temperature. I am not in any pain or feeling sick and there is no sign of a UTI (urinary tract infection) which is the infection that I normally get, my ostomy is working fine, I have no cough or chest pain so that would rule out a chest infection, I am completely stumped.
Today hasn't been a good day for eating either I managed the mince and tatties (potatoes) that I had for my lunch no problem but I had pasta for supper and a piece of pasta got stuck in the oesophageal stricture at the top and as I am writing this it is still stuck there and I am finding it hard to drink.
And the final bad thing is my cat's leg is worse today. :-( She had her 2nd dose of anti-inflammatories this evening so I really hope they start working soon.
All in all today has been a crap day.
Wednesday 11th September
Today my temperature finally went back down to 36.6C thank goodness. I am still feel pretty rubbish though but hopefully this is the beginning of me getting better because I really, really, really want to go to London in just over 2 weeks.
Thankfully the piece of pasta that was stuck in my oesophagus shifted last night so today I was able to eat and drink today, I am so gratefaul that it moved because I am mentally not ready to go back to flushing water through my PEG tunbe every hour for the whole day.
So seeing as I have been unwell for a week I thought I deserved to take advantage of the 10% of beauty and fragrance at Debenhams, I know I shouldn't have because I don't have a lot of money but I always believe that once you have come through a bad period of health you deserve to treat yourself to your favourite things and my favourite things are makeup.
Friday 13th September
So I didn't write yesterday because I felt so rubbish and ended up going to bed at 7.30pm, I slept for 12 hours straight and then had a 3 hour nap in this afternoon.
Thankfully today I am feeling so much better and I have finally worked out what was causing me the high temperature, sickness and another stuff, it was my the time of the month. I never knew that time of the month could cause you to be so ill, I am so not looking forward to this happening every month.
Yesterday in the mail I got an appointment letter through for seeing my colorectal surgeon, it will be very interesting to see what she says about my non healing surgical wound which I will have had for 5 years at the end of next month. I really can't believe that it will be 5 years next month since I had my first ostomy.
Saturday 14th September
I am finally feeling almost back to normal or has normal as a Crohn's suffer can feel. I didn't get much sleep last night so that means I slept to 1pm so I really didn't do much today but I did manage to finally get my Invisible Illness awareness week blog post. The blog post wasn't exactly the post that I was hoping to do but the main thing I got something posted.
I can't believe that two weeks today is the Paramore concert in London, I can't wait. Going to a Paramore concert is another thing I tick off my bucket list, it will be the second thing that I am ticking off my list this year.
Sunday 15th September
So it's Sunday again and that means another week is over and I am so glad to see the back of this week. Today has been all about rest and sleep in preparation for a busy-ish next week, also today I have been in a pissed of mood due to my insomnia coming back and having a restricted diet is starting to get to me because I can't eat a variety of different foods.
Now I know what everybody is going to say, "you should be grateful that your able to eat something." I am grateful that I am able to eat something but when you see people eating the food that you want to eat and you have to eat the same thing day in day out it does get pretty annoying.
