Re: B&M Monday
Dh goes back to work today. He was on sping break all last week. It didn't feel like much of a break between Easter, the two specialist appointments in the city and the baptism and baptism preparation.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at my appointment on Friday (which was running 2 1/2 hrs behind for a 10 min procedure). I now have to take a $hit-ton of drugs on top of the $hit ton I already take for my pancreatitis including predisone which has nasty side effects that I'm not looking forward to.
ETA: I forgot to add, which is more of an update, that I never made it over to introduce myself to our new neighbours. We had friends stop by Easter Sunday for an impromptu visit and dinner which is when I planned to do the baking. Now it seems too late so I'm just going to have to stalk them while they are outside
That is, if our snow ever goes away.
Lindsay -- My mom has ulcerative colitis and I'm at high risk because it can be inherited. She was on mega meds at first, but now she just has daily maintenence meds and its really a non-issue. You probably won't realize how bad you feel until you start to feel better -- that is how I was with my ulcer. HUGS!
I don't really have a B&M. It is school vacation. DH and Ella are at daycare (he subs on school breaks). I'm going to visit our fourth graders -- they are on a trip to study nature at a local camp -- later and have a meeting later.
I guess my B&M is my lack of motivation. I made a list of jobs for break for each day. I want to clean each room in my house really well. It is only 10 am and I'm done with my rooms for today for the most part and I should keep going..but I don't want to. The Nest, Brooklyn 11223 and Chelsea Handler are a lot more appealing right now.
ETA: The Red Sox play in an hour. Yup, motivation totally shot.
Jenny McCarthy = Former Playmate and MTV host
Pediatrician = Doctor with extensive experience and education on children.
Bumpies = Don't get me started!
I know who I get my health advice from!
What are you looking at?
DH has that as well... As much as a pain as it can be, the daily drugs make a huge difference and should really help. Sorry that you have to deal with this on top of everything else.
Lindsay: That must suck getting a diagnosis like that!
My B&M is my stomach has been acting weird the past 2 months and I had some tests done and they still don't know what's wrong with me. My doctor said to tried a low fat diet for a little while, and it kind of sucks! I only have two options for breakfast food. And I can't eat chocolate or cookies, or cheese and crackers.
My other B&M is that I'm horribly behind at work, but it's not my fault because another employee has to do field work before I can do my part, but he's been slacking off. If he hadn't taken 5 days off, I'd be way more ahead in my work. At least no one is blaming me for the projects being late.
Hugs Lindsay! Hope you start feeling better soon with the meds.
I'm annoyed because T might be gone the entire month of May, and I'm in major "I-want-to-start-working-on-the-nursery" mode. I know it's still early, but between our trip this week, and our trip in June, I feel like May would be a good time to start doing it, but he's not motivated at all and thinks we should do it in July, yeah when I'm 36 weeks and we're already busy with all the baby classes I signed us up for...
My OB's office doesn't have the June schedule out yet, and I want to make my appts (including my GTT) so I can book our plane tix to FL for my HS reunion and baby shower.
I still have the remnants of the cold I came down with when we got back from Paris, and T is dying. I want him to go to the doctor because I think he should be getting better, not worse. All this plus we leave on Thursday to go visit the in laws and attend a conference thing for recently deployed service members, which if he's still sick, he's going to drive me nuts during. I can't handle the man cold much longer.
It looks like I'm basically going to end up planning my own baby shower because it's 2 weeks away and my friends have done nothing to my knowledge so my mother FREAKED out over the weekend (again). ugh. I know they are busy, but I just wish they wouldn't have said they would do this and now they aren't.
I told my dad to just call everyone and cancel it but he won't because he doesn't want my mom to get away with her tantrums, which I appreciate, but at the same time, this is adding so much stress on to me that I can't physically or emotionally deal with it anymore.
Today is my first day back at school in 12 days and I want nothing to do with being here anymore. I'm just tired and the LL is push/poking in all the uncomfortable places anymore (since we decided to turn to the breech position sometime in the last 10 days)..I wish I could get a drs note to be done soon.
And I HATE this GD diet. I almost cry every time I have to figure out what to eat.
I'm having a big B&M Monday for sure.
I have to take time out of my work day to go to the doctor just to refill something I've been on FOREVER.
Im out of my asthma medication that I put in a nebulizer. Seriously have been dealing with this my entire life but the doctor won't just refill it. My regular GP retired and transferred everything to this new doc and she wants to see you for every little thing. I could understand if I was on a strong drug that needs monitored but this isnt.
Ugh.

I'm sorry you are going through all that! I know it's easier said than done, but can you just tell everyone that you don't want to hear anything about the shower until you show up for it? Tell your mom not to call you about anything and that you will hang up on her if she starts talking about it - and actually do just that. Same thing with your friends. Things will probably get done, but it shouldn't be your problem and you definitely shouldn't have to stress over it. Hang in there!
