Granny's gone and done it again

Thanks hun. Its rough no doubt. My kids have crohns .

Yeah, ya ain't lived till you're lying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position whimpering and sweating and in too much pain to get too far from the porcelain god.

Poor kids. Hope they are doing well with it.

Lots of things you can do to feel better with IBS. There is a book with information on diet. I feel a whole lot better just taking Senna, and eating things like fig cookies, dried apricots and figs. Plus lots of veggies.

I've tried senna, cap, only made it worse. I have to handle fiber very carefully or I wind up more miserable than I was without the fiber. Even with baked beans, a half a cup serving is all I can tolerate, same with regular beans which I love. If I eat them too many days in a row I'm in big misery.

It's a balancing act and I'm a lousy juggler.

Microchick everyone else knows the story, I went to wal mart w/ my dh and that hit me and I knew I wasnt going to make it. I was too late and things went flying. all over my shirt and pants, the walls and floor. I striped and didnt know what to do. I will never forget as long as I live This tiny old lady walks in and there I stand, covered in nothing but shat. She freezes, looks me up and down and says "Oh my.." I could hear her out the doors telling someone there was a naked woman in there . So a worker comes in and asked how she could help. She went and got me new clothes , wipes ect.. I just wanted to die. I scrubbed up, got dressed then scrubbed the bathroom. The worker said I needed to go to the dr because there was "something wrong w/ me". Ya think? LOL About an hr later I am leaving the bathroom and my DH says, I was just about to send someone in there to check on you. hahahaa

My dear Granny, I'm a retired nurse plus I took care of my parents both with dementia for almost 20 years. There aren't any surprises that the human body can throw at me that would shock me.

I wish there was a hug emoji for that post to go along with the sad so.... Just remember that which does not kill you makes you stronger.

I've never had anything like that happen but I had a bout hit me on a hike in mountains in AZ on my wedding day no less that had me running for the nearest Mesquite bush.

IBS really has good timing is all I can say.

I turned 67 in April.

You win!!!! (at least against Micro)

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

I don't think Alley is in the running for oldest, or even close to oldest, or even close to the median

I wish I could. My dentist, of all people, wants me to come in for a sleep study. I think he wants to retire from teeth and get into C-PAP machines.

It is usually the ENTs that push the C-PAPs. Dentists do oral appliances. I've had one for about 15 years (and I'm 9 months older than Cap)

No, DH says it's rare for me to snore.

Apnea isn't about snoring, it is about STOPPING breathing. Then you start again ... and wake up tired with a "lack of O2" headache.

Ah, chocolate, you had to say that. I'll run up and grab a few choc chips from the freezer. Then I'll be out like a light, thanks! ❤

Chocolate has caffeine, seems like the wrong thing to eat if you have trouble falling asleep.

I think each case is different. Finally finding what works to keep me less miserable, and not in pain every day.

[Granny Hatchet]

Yes you did Cap !

Still havent slept. LOL I am so tired.

I did sleep and I am tired too. I think the sleep apnea is messing me up.
I got the screen put on the ventilation hole I cut in the end of the hoop coop. And put a latch on it.
Plus I worked on the quail hutch I am modifying to grow young birds in . Hoping to finish putting the floor in tomorrow, and maybe fix it so I can put the roof on.

Is it still hot there ?
