Evening
or morning? its 1am anyway
I dont sleep properly since the procedure. That camera ruined my life
anyway this week~
I can no believe that the first week of my easter holidays has passed me by!!! T^T
anyway, monday I saw Mia, we went for a good hours dog walk. It was nice to catch up with her. I was quite tired afterwards and my aches were still bad from doing that stupid run on friday. I came home, had a quick brew then went to mum's and had lunch with her. Giving jack some time to himself.
Tuesday, jack still continued to do the odd hour each day weeding the garden. I can't remember what I did
Wednesday we went to a couple of garden centres with mum to pick some plants for the garden, it was a bit rainy that day tho and everything was outside so we got a a bit cold and damp
thursday I got my diagnosis from the gastro doctor. God I was on the phone for 2 mins. It was awful Couldnt care less for what I was trying to tell him, how my life has been ruined by that camera. He just said that all the samples that were sent off came back fine - so no stomach cancer for me, I have a VERY sensitive stomach - I could have told him that. He gave me the diagnosis I did not want....IBS. To me IBS is when a doctor gets negative results and can't be bothered to do anymore investigations. Done sorted, you're fine, its just irritable bowel syndrome, get on with life. I did not want this diagnosis as it is not curable, you can have it for life, and I feel fobbed off. Dont get me wrong I am sure there are people who genuinely suffer with this, I just feel I have something more up with me than this.
He told me to go on the FODMAP diet. Which to be honest is very very similar to what i am on now - the paleo diet. He didnt want to prescribe any medication to me as i am already on such a cocktail of drugs which he said isnt helping my stomach any. So that was that. I feel like I had that life ruining procedure for nothing.
friday, I did some FODMAP research to see what I can and cant eat. Like I said its very similar to what I am doing now. The only things I am gonna have to cut out is onion, sausage, mushroom and garlic. The rest I can ether eat or I dont actually want to eat. So my diet wont change much apart from those 4 foods really. So thats not too bad. I am also permitted to eat some foods that I couldnt before such as rice.
mum had been over to help Jack with the gardening. It looks so much better already!!! she brought the girls over which was nice, I was working on the things I have been sewing for mum all week. She wanted a little baby blanket for the girls to sit on, and also 2 guinea pigs - one each. So she now has the best guinea pig bags I have ever made! Theyre cute, sturdy and well padded. Mum was very pleased with them
saturday, we did our food shop, I came home and went to bed I was exhausted as I still dont sleep. Even tho its the holidays I still dont sleep. Stomach likes to keep me up.
I had lunch and stuff with jack and cleaned loaf out, did some more on the picture I am working on and then we went to Jack's family's house. His nan was there which was nice. we had home made scones, a mini egg cookie and they gave us easter gifts which was nice of them.
we came home at 4pm and had an early bath. I pitched the idea to Jack to scrap dinner, have the remaining 4 scones his mum gave to us, a hot cross bun we bought in the morning and anything else we want. He agreed. So we had a sweet dinner! it was well good! we dont usually scrap dinner and eat bad, so when we do it, it feels more forbidden! I then did 40mins of yoga
tomorrow, or today whatever, I have my cooking to do in the morning, I have the bathroom to clean that I didnt do saturday and at some point we having home made cake at mums. I might take Oz over as our easter bunbun.
mum hasnt bought us anything for easter, she asked if we wanted anything and I said no. I have Oz, he is the best easter gift of all. My own easter bunbun. so she said she would just make a cake to celebrate
i will be starting the FODMAP diet this week, however there will be occasions that I will be breaking my diet as it is the holidays and I have plans and treats to have and do which I deserve. when I go back to school on 17th I imagine I will be fully on the diet. so its a nice break into it, not that its much different
i have been working on my dragon picture, its looking ok
I have got my kanji books now so I can hopefully get going with all that now!
Jack has been enjoying animal crossing still, and today I had to order him amebo cards as he wants to complete his bun island. He wants a remaining 3 bunnies to join the island.
I shall enjoy my last week off~ more plans this week
