Day Two ~ The Bathroom

Day Two~ The bathroom….

Good morning and welcome to “Tami’s” world! Many people, in fact the majority of people, would say “Wooaaah! TMI!” But this is who I am and what seems to be the usual these days. So this morning I wake up to a wonderful UTI infection. The past seven months have pretty much been Hell health wise with a little bit of Heaven put in a few weeks here and there! So this morning I find myself on the toilet peeing blood and in excruciating pain, UTI pain. Not something I would wish on my worst enemy. Thank God I have antibiotics from my urologist, because this is not a new problem for me. The gastrectomy, gastric by-pass, multiple small bowel surgeries and the itchy rash are all new. So because my stomach refuses to take part in its given roll for its anatomy, I have had to basically say goodbye to it, something I thought would never occur. With that I have lost 26 pounds, (which I didn’t need to lose) gained back 14 pounds and find it hard on some days to just eat with out running to the toilet just to throw it all up! Wow, it occurs to me that I sure spend a lot of time in the bathroom, not a place I prefer to be!

Back to today. As I sit on the toilet waiting for my urinary infection meds to kick in, I get my computer out and find that my Internet is down. Once again, shocker as we live in a rural (Samantha and Christopher shut up, I can hear you laughing) my kids think I say “rural” funny. So, sitting on the toilet, trying to occupy myself and find I have no Internet. Apparently I need to pay a past due bill that I never received. Did I mention I live in a rural area? So as I sit on the pot I call AT&T all to be greeted with a nice customer service guy that says, “How are you today mam?” I proceed to tell him “Fine, thank you.”, while thinking crappy, I am crappy today and sitting on the crapper currently! But I can’t say that so I’m telling any odd person who would like to read it. I would personally think, man, this woman has issues, and yes I guess I do, but I am determined to make this a good day and as “normal” as possible. Currently my horses are probably thinking where’s mom? We want breakfast! So as I sit here on the porcelain god I think, this is classic! I’ll blog about it since I can get back on the computer because I just paid for my internet. Oh wait, it’s not up yet! So I think hmmm, ha! I’ll type on Word and copy later. See, I am thinking Doo! Another long story….

Well the dogs are all checking on me in the bathroom and probably realizing that mom has issues! Since my feet are now tingling with pins and needles I probably should get off the john (notice I have found 4 different words for this throne that I am sitting on, oh 5!

Calling it quits in the bathroom and moving on with my day! I hope and pray it keeps improving.
