Day 131-Tuesday
Little bit more nauseous today- as
usual for the pump disconnect. Mum has finished painting the spare room so all ready
for our future guests.
Heard good news from 'R'. Her
operation has gone well and she is truly an inspiration. Definitely puts my
battle in perspective. Hopefully her journey is easier from here on in and she
can spend a healthy life watching her son grow up.
Having to write an awkward email to
my health insurance company asking for
more money. In fact I need another 10,000 pounds just to cover me to end of
chemo and then scans. They must hate me! I hope they don't increase my premium
by too much! Thank goodness I got myself the top cover.
Bit constipated today which always
sends me into a bit of a panic. I have tried fruit and walking. Matt thinks
caffeine is the answer so just had a tea and an earl grey. Hopefully works. Can't
have fruit juice as too cold. May try some tummy massage later. Any other ideas
people?
Dates, psyllium husk and a castor oil pack. Soak a towel in castor oil and lay it over your belly, add a heatpack over the top and rest for an hour (heat pack will need reheating!). Wash off the oil when finished with a light massage in the direction of the colon (lower right, under the ribs, upper left and down). Should set you right!!

ReplyDeletewish you speedy recovery you are an inspiration.
Prunes and/or kiwi fruit will help - my mother has had constipation problems for years and swears by these 2 foods. Laura I love your blogs and just love your positivity, humour and honesty- we're all there with you!! xxx
