Last night Ron had more spasms .Had a sleep during day due to little monster waking through the night and needing help.
Only trouble I woke to a horrendous hypo. Sweats were putting it mildly.
Family over compensated with hypo treatments.... Just as I had to leave for hospital appointment.
Hoping for a more relaxed night tonight.
Arrh bless him.Last night Ron had more spasms .
He has these spasms when the pain is really bad . Otherwise the baclofen seems to help. The pain in his hip hasn't stopped since the weekend . Yesterday he said that he thinks it might be sciatica. I think Ron's just trying to get a world record for the most ailments one person can get lol. When we're out and I'm pushing his wheelchair not once does he ever get out of it and walk. Even if my shoulder is hurting , which happens when we're on a slope . So I'm trying to steer and push him at the same time. His therapist wants him to do certain things before his next visit but as yet he's not done anything.Arrh bless him.
No med helping him with those yet?
I stopped metformin to find no more IBS symptoms so able to stop IBS tablets too. No more cramps in stomach or i my back. No chest pains lately either.
Oh and guess what? My monthly which is 4mths late has turned up.
Looking like I'm still losing 1kg a fortnight. So 1lb loss a week.
No more hit and miss upset tummy either.
I've made a huge iron filled food effort with my diet. Liver, broccoli and beef. Eggs as always too.
If I had lost weight continously like some posters I wouldn't have to have bariatric surgery.
Trust me to be different.
I blame my thyroid and stress for weight gain, as well as insulin.
Soooo looking forward to less insulin and less injections.
These last few months have really dragged along. A very very long journey to my op.
I just want it done and dustered so I can get on with the rest of my life.
I cannot wait to see weight loss from op.
If I can get to 12st or as near as possible I'll be very happy. Well a girl can dream.
I've been told I won't lose as much as some others due to other medical conditions.
MSK chap asked me to try a local hill like area (an incline) without my crutch. A bit at a time. Then more each day.
I'm reluctant as how would I do it?
Leaving crutch indoors won't get me to bottom of incline street. Taking it means abandoning it then no support at the point of not being able to walk without its support. I'd have to use walls and gates which twist my body too much when in agony..
Will need Mr ickihun or 11yr old to carry crutch for me til I'm ready for it again.
Currently only able to cross my street til I get pain.
An exercise regime I'll have to incorporate once I've seen son onto school bus in September. A mile walk I have to make in agony, even with crutch (stopping 4-5 times as it is).
How am I really going to do this new ask?
You know me, I'll try anything but I hope this doesn't backfire and put me off or stop me capable of what I can do now.
I'll scream if I'm set back again.
Is he depressed? I get sooo low when I think of ailments.He has these spasms when the pain is really bad . Otherwise the baclofen seems to help. The pain in his hip hasn't stopped since the weekend .

When he's been asked about feeling depressed or suicidal he says he's not . There are times though when I've noticed a change in his mood . With him not sleeping I put that down to the M.E. There is only so much I can do the rest has to come from him. It was only Sunday that I found out that his throat has been closing up on him when he eats or drinks , that includes taking meds as well. Which is how I found this out .Is he depressed?

Does he use a PPI?When he's been asked about feeling depressed or suicidal he says he's not . There are times though when I've noticed a change in his mood .

AspirinDoes he use a PPI?
I normally take lansoprozol which blocks stomach acid causing reflux.Aspirin
Ron isn't to go either . He's gone to get up and his legs wouldn't move . Have given him two walking sticks and still he's not to steady on his feet . He's now on his chair and fallen back to sleep. Hope your painkillers click in soon.Tossed and turned.
Back pain was horrendous through the night as I didn't take painkillers before bed.
So up early to get them in my system as we are going to walk out today.
Need a shower first so it may be this afternoon. Cannot do both straight off each other.
Just about to take next painkillers. Back is killing.Ron isn't to go either . He's gone to get up and his legs wouldn't move . Have given him two walking sticks and still he's not to steady on his feet . He's now on his chair and fallen back to sleep. Hope your painkillers click in soon.
Sending you some gentle hugs . XxxJust about to take next painkillers. Back is killing.
@ickihun .....hope all goes well with today’s procedure.....sending hugs....A good night sleep on painkillers.
Woke at 6am and just thought about today's procedure and hospital requirements.
No coffee this morning. Water only.
No painkillers til 08.45 for deadline to take meds. So I wont be in pain from my back/pelvis through procedure, hopefully. Fingers crossed they kick in.
Sitting after blood pressure and thyroid tablets been taken. Sipping water.
I need to test bg but irrelevant what it says as no insulin or food so unless very very high I won't be doing anything other than monitoring.
How's Ron @tina_marie?
A good night?
Good luck for today. Will be thinking about you. I'll fill you in later on Ron.A good night sleep on painkillers.
