Hey, where is everybody??
Guess you guys are busy; hope it's fun things that you are busy doing.
I have not been feeling well the past couple of weeks; I'm having rectal pain and bleeding. My doc last week said it was a rectal tear; she gave me suppositories and Colace and told me to drink lots of water. It felt like it was improving but this weekend it decided to get me in a vise grip and it won't let go, so she referred me to a surgeon, who I will see Wed. The pain has really been stressing me out; I have been overeating, but so far my blood sugars have all been normal. I have tried everything I know - hot baths, more water, but it hasn't helped. I have had this problem before and it got better but this time I don't think it will. Riding in a car is torture. I just lay around all day until time to go to work; by then the pain has subsided some. I found that Tylenol helps some. I will probably have to have surgery, but if it will take care of the problem then the sooner the better. I have almost been brought to tears, I think "why did this happen now after I have been doing so well with my weight loss and changing the way I eat"? I have learned a huge lesson about taking care of myself - from now on it's more fiber and more water.
I hope you all are taking care of yourselves. Have a good evening.
