I didn't post here on Friday, as it was a "bad" day of IBS and I talked to the nurse. NO caffeine for me now.

Am dealing with the headache, started the liquids-only diet, then have switched to the BRAT diet. So far, have had rice with margarine on it for lunch and dinner. Have pediatric electrolyte stuff I'm drinking, which was breakfast this a.m. Napped about 45 min. in my chair, got a terrible headache, then slept 3 1/2 HOURS in bed.

Trying to keep hydrated. The rash is calming down from the high groin area with yeast-groin infection and secondary bacterial infection. I've got until the 7th - the 10th, to "see" if it is cured, then will call the nurse again, if it's not.

I feel VERY well *rested*, which is good.
DH and I got a new washer/dryer on Friday, have been doing up ALL the laundry, so today was dark clothes, towels, then sheets. It'll be so nice to sleep in a fresh flannel sheeted bed tonight, too. I sweated so much last night, so the sheets and my gown were damp when I got up.

I'm post-menopausal, so it's not one of "those" night sweats.

I also feel I've picked up a cold from the dr. office, from Tuesday the 25th.

I don't know if it's allergies, which it could be, because I did a LOT of cleaning in the utility room, sweeping, counters, dusted the rest of the house, except offices, bedroom, and Bunny Room. Then, DH vacuumed, so it honestly could be an allergy thing.
I'll continue the BRAT diet until Monday, then will try "real foods" then, to see what happens.

At least I'm feeling better, we're getting all the laundry done, and it's been a good day.

I had the laptop off because of sleeping.
Dee, I wish your DD the very best with your dgd. It's sad, but they need to do what they can to help her and to help control her, too. And
YOU Get Well Soon!
Harriet, Sorry about all that long estate work and then the final lawyer's bill- especially for a small town.
Lynlee, So sorry about your fall! It's such a bad place. I have osteoarthritis there, use Icy Hot Roll-On on it, and lean against the wall in a squat position, to give the lower back a straight flat surface, which helps. Also, when you're not in pain, pelvic tilts do help.
Sunny, How many dogs do you have, what breeds, and how old are they? I miss a dog.
Kathryn, You have a heart of gold, a kind heart and one of care and compassion, too.
Haromy, Your dinner sounds delicious! Good luck with the wheelchair. Sorry about the small size wheels. Can you rent one?

Is this just temporary, until Mr. Harmony can use a walker, perhaps?
Waving to
Sadie, CathyS, Booksaver, Nancy, and Twins' and those I've forgotten. Have a nice night.
