Ok, so I am home now...went back to work 12hrs after I got here (grrrrrrrr).
Rainning, cold, stormy...no way to tell if this self-imposed treatment did any good with this weather...I do know that I have had 2 of the worst days in terms of public transportation and running around in years...brutal!
I hurt. I had been hoping to come home pain-free and that did not happen so I am dissapointed but at least I was able to do the running around without a cane so that is a plus.
I threw myself into sugar, carbs and junk upon arrival (argh! old habits die hard) so my inflamation is not happy...didn't sleep last night because of it.
You can run away (and hide) but your disease will always find you. Not fair. I am pissed right now because so many things hurt. Ice packs on ankles...did not get rid of the tendonitis (that was my goal) and have so much sacroiliac pain that I have added the Nsaids to the Tylenol and doubled up on all dosages (I was hoping to get off of at least one of them)...
My pouch/gut is allowing me back into the world of solids (with some complaint)...that is a good thing but that darn occlusion site is still painful and dangerous...I will obviously have to have something done about it...the semester is almost over and I will spend the next 6 weeks having tests, appointments, treatments and minor surgery (some just for comfort sake...cyst removal etc)...what are the odds that I can go back to my 'vacation diet' and give up solid food again?

ps. the only one who loves this weather is my gardenia...I envy her...she is blooming, I am not!
