Surgery Day!

Captain's Log 10.03.2019

AND today is surgery day. Carpal tunnel fix on my left hand. Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to  it so that whole saga will be over. But for this minute, no coffee, nothing to drink or eat.

Speaking of drinking, I finally figured out that it was my much loved coffee that was the trigger for my IBS-C. I knew it was for the "D". It took a couple of days of having tea for everything to work its way back to normal. I was getting pretty uncomfortable with not pooping for days on end. Whew, glad that's over. I did learn that if you have both C and D, they call it IBS-A, for alternating. Yep, that's me.

Nothing much has changed on the diet side. I'm trying to make more actual meals so I don't do the snacking bit. Bill's been a peach and will chop vegetables for me. My right hand still isn't healed enough for chopping. Every time I do it, my right hand hurts for a couple of days after.

Onward.
