I'm back .....
and I'm feeling like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders.
I can't believe I've been away from blogging for so long. I've gotten over quite a few hurdles in the last couple of weeks and finally I'm starting to relax. There's still plenty to do but it's not of the stress kind.
I did my formal workplace assessment on Monday and Tuesday. I'm so glad that is out of the way. I'm going to take a wee break now. Still have some assignments to complete, but for now the pressure is off. Thank god for that.
Last Friday I was in agony. I woke up at 3am in excruciating pain. I don't know what was wrong I only know that I could not find any position which didn't hurt. Mr T was a lot worried. It went on for about 7 hours and then the pain slowly eased. Next day I was fine. I was going to the doctor but .... the pain went. If it happens again tho I'm straight up to A & E. After talking to a couple of people it seems it could of been gallstones.
One thing I will tell you tho. While Mr T and I have 6 kids we haven't had one together. However after Friday I can honestly say that it felt like labour. Mr T was holding my hand, rubbing my back, running my baths and holding my head while I puked. (Isn't love wonderful!!!!) At the end of it I had no baby and no instant weight loss.
When we set up our new bed we only had the mattress on the slats. Far too hard so we ended up putting the base on as well. Now we have a high bed. Perfect height for Mr T but for me I certainly have to climb into bed every night. But I love it. I feel like a little girl in a giants bed.
Shocking photo of me. I'm just exhausted. I'm looking forward to a holiday and some me time.
Christmas next week. I've done NO christmas shopping. Zilch. Am I worried. Not at all. I'll do some speed shopping at the weekend.
After living with stress for the last few months stress free is bliss.
So now I'll post this and go catch up on everyone's news.

When I was reading your syptoms I thought of gallstones - I had about 6 attacks before I went to the dr - mainly because they always happened at night and then in the morning I would feel fine and say to A "I can't go to the dr and say 'I felt like this last night but am not in any pain now'" - in the end I had to go because they were getting more and more frequent. He sent me straight off for an scan and found I had multiple stones. They did key hole surgery (and tied my tubes at the same time) - and found literally 100s of stones - so much so when they came to pull the gall bladder out, it broke and the stones tipped into my abdominal cavity - much vacuuming to get them all out after that happened !!!!
ReplyDeleteSince having the op - no problems at all. Go and see about it sooner rather than later - really no point in putting up with the agony (because that is exactly what it is) if you can help it.
Take care and thinking of you - sending lots of hugs because I know the pain you have been through !!!!

A friend of mine is having gallstone problems at the moment and her trigger is either high fat or high sugar.
ReplyDeleteShe thinks it is a great tool for keeping her on track foodwise as she never wants to be in pain, so she is avoiding all the trigger foods
Hmmmm... I've had my gallbladder out due to gallstones! Hurts like hell them stones! Go to the doctor!
ReplyDeleteLove the height of your bed, no bending over to make it!
Enjoy your speep shopping!
Ouch, ouch & ouch
ReplyDeleteBut on other news, I love feeling like a little kid in a big bed. Hope you are still enjoying it :)
