Reply to "A little update"

Thanks guys...boxes and boxes and more boxes...I have learned a valuable lesson...wear a back belt...Even for the little stuff...Especially when you have a k pouch...no use hurting your back or abs while filling boxes...I am also learning to say yes to anyone willing to come and help...hired movers too...Even if it is only a few miles away...no longer lift heavy things...put the empty boxes on the full ones to fill so that I do not need to pick them up and move them once full...anything to save my back.

My pouch is being good right now...except for 2 things...

Thing one, when it fills up (at night while sleeping usually), it reaches a certain capacity and then the pain yanks me out of sleep...feels like the muscles that hold it up are ripped to pieces (in the last MRi they showed that during the slip and fall I did rip some of them and that they are not healed yet...1 yr later)

Thing 2...it is on an angle and if overfull I cannot fit the tube in so I need to get up and empty regularly to prevent the problem.

Other than that...all good.

Dinners are now light meals, usually an artichoke and some fruit or a light meat meal.

Lunches at work are fruit, yogurt and a few bites of a whole grain bun with dried fruits in it...I take a few bites at 10, 12, 2 and 4...keeps my blood sugar levels even and allows me to not have 'dips' in my energy or blood sugar.

So for now, back to the boxes...and facing forward towards a better life.

Sharon
