So it has been another couple of weeks since my last post. So much and yet nothing has happened. First, I finished my 2000 mg of antibiotics per day for the prescribed 10 days and the pain remained. I had another doctors appointment and he sent me for a full abdominal and pelvic CT scan. In typical Dr.K fashion, he got me the results pronto so I didn't have to wait and wait. The results were good however. No masses, no obstructions. I just needed to be more patient with waiting for the pain to go away. Slowly but surely it has lessened and it is reasonably tolerable now. The positive from this was that being on the BRAT diet for two weeks pushed me below my goal weight! However, I didn't immediately get the McDonalds French fries I had promised myself. I had to wait an extra week before indulging....and they were good. On a negative note though, not being able to go to the Y during this time has now allowed me to put 3 pounds back on. I have been able to hit the treadmill a couple of evenings this week, but only walking, no running. Right now I am comfortable laying down and standing. Sitting is still uncomfortable. But even that is better now than this time last week.
Saturday we will be having a Holland & Lupton family get together in Greenville at Joe's mother's house. Just a little afternoon get together for lunch and conversation. Phyllis, Aimee & Sara are coming from Hope Mills and of course Bettie's family will be there at her mothers. I'm looking forward to it (except for the driving there and back - that's 3+ hours sitting...not my favorite thing right now).
Sunday will be church in the morning, a couple of hours of the envisioning team in the afternoon and then Homeland that night. Love that show.
Enough rambling. Time for a little TV, read a couple of chapters in my book and then to sleep. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Peace.
