It’s been a second day of diarrhea with this one starting at 3 am. I have no idea why the third hour is significant but what’s unusual about this form of diarrhea is that it sneaks up on you. I’ve messed the Depends before I even knew it was coming. At this rate, I’ll be ordering a crate of Depends.
In between rushing to the bathroom and changing Depends, I managed 10 hours at 50 minutes of sleep. You can safely assume I’ve been spending a lot of time in bed. I managed a banana, rice pudding, and an apple today.
Chris texted and suggested I lay off the coconut water. I will do that. However, coconut water was specifically recommended by the nutritionist as a source of electrolytes. Since I’ve stopped the coconut water, I’ve been using Pedialyte.
Joel stopped by Walgreens and picked up three prescriptions for me today and brought them over to the house. I rewarded him with pumpkin muffins I made before the diarrhea episodes.
With all this going on, I’ve noticed a tenderness in my left breast about the same location prior to my surgery. It’s sensitive enough that if the shower spray hits it, I feel it. I called Dr. Burgers office and I’ve got an appointment at 9:30 am tomorrow.
I had to reschedule a consult with a Christmas guy until 3 pm. I’m really curious as to what he has to say and what he will do.
As of this afternoon, the diarrhea has stopped but passing gas and belching has not. I hate belching. I don’t care about passing gas as long as no one is around.
Stay tuned!
