So things haven’t been that great these last few days but I have managed to deal with it pretty well.
On Sunday night I got absolutely no sleep at all and by late Monday afternoon I still didn’t feel tired, so I decided to phone my doctors to see if they would give me sleeping tablets. I was really scared that they would say no but I was very lucky to get one of the understanding GP’s who knows that I don’t phone to ask for something unless I really, really have to. My doctor prescribe me a months worth of sleeping tablets so that will cover me until I come of the steroids in 4 weeks time.
So after getting a brilliant nights sleep on Monday, Tuesday was pretty eventful. I decided to have an afternoon nap because I still felt pretty sleepy and when I woke up I found that my ileostomy had leak all over my pyjama bottoms and duvet cover. Thankfully the stain came out of the duvet cover but I had to put my pyjam bottoms in the bin because I couldn’t get them clean, so that means that I will have to buy some new one’s but I love any excuse to do a bit of shopping, lol.

So yesterday and today have been pretty crap days, I have been feeling so low and I just can not be bothered to anything. I haven’t felt this bad in while but I think the main cause of the problem is the time of the month, I never used to have such bad depression when mother nature pays a visit but for the past few years I have been really struggling. The only thing I can do when this happens is to keep busy so I have finished my Christmas shopping, started wrapping the presents and did some cooking, I am hoping tommorow will be a better day because two days of feeling like this is enough.

So this weekend has been a good and bad weekend, I will start with the one bad thing about this weekend which is sore teeth. Today my teeth are being a right pain, I think I am going to have to go back to the dentist to get another temporary clove filling to see if it will help with the pain.
Now onto the good things. On Saturday I went to Hobbycraft to get some thing’s to make my christmas cards, I am really looking forward to making my own christmas cards this year, I can’t remember the last time I did something crafty. Also on Saturday I went to visit my Grandma who I hadn’t seen in a long time. Sunday was a day spent at home, I did want to back into town but it was not that great weather so basically all I did on Sunday was finish my online christmas shopping and watched christmas films.

So for the past couple of days I have been trying to sort out a few health things. So on Thursday I phoned the IBD nurse to find out why I have never heard about my small bowel MRI plus I wanted to find out if they wanted to do another oesophageal dilation because the only thing I can eat is soup and soup is not really that good for my stoma because it goes in one end and straight out the other. I also tried to try and track down a phone number for my community dieitian, but two phone calls later I still had not been able to get the right phone number.
On Friday morning I got a phone call from the IBD nurse to tell me that if I don’t get an appointment letter in the next two weeks to phone her back, I also got told that they are going to do another oesophageal dilaition sooner rather than later so I really hope I get it done before Christmas because I would really like to have a Christmas dinner this year. I still didn’t manage to get hold of the right dietitian but I have another phone number to try so hopefully on Monday I will manage to get hold of her.
On Friday evening I went across to a friends house because she said that I could play multi-player Call of Duty Balck Ops II with her and I really enjoyed it so I can’t wait to get the new Black Ops game.
Today I am grateful for….
- Having a good nights sleep
- Having great friends
- Being able to drink
- Manging to get some things sorted

I seem to have beaten my insomnia this week and I am sooooooooooooo happy. The hours that I am falling asleep and waking up is not ideal but at least I have been getting 10 hours sleep.
So as all you IBD suffers know sometimes when a good thing happens a bad thing sometimes happens, well that is what has happened to me unfortunately. My oesophageal stricture has decided to stop me from eating a lot of solid food :-( but I am still able to eat pureed foods, soup and cakes. I must look on the positive side though, it has stayed opened for longer this time, normally it only stays open for a week and a half but this time it has stayed open for three weeks.
Today I am grateful for….
- Getting a good nights sleep
- Having a great support network
- Being able to pureed food
- Being able to eat cakes
- Being able to drink
