Lost but Better in Still Listening to Spirit

I am ‘better’ but still not feeling healthy. I finally got everything in gastro-area purged with a bottle of magnesium sulfate solution Madame gave me. It’s like the nasty suff you drink to get ready for surgery and other procedures but not so nasty tasting when chilled.
I received reglan in the mail, prescribed for slow diabetic stomach and am almost through the first day taking that. My stomach is empty, I still hsve no appetite, nothing sounds good. Around 4am I woke up and decided to have some beef broth. Half a cup later, it was threatening to come back up, so I quit that and just hang onto what I had downed.
I sleep at the drop of a hat during the day and although nights are more naps, I am okay with that. Hub is calmer about my condition, still wanting to do something but not wearing himself out about it.
Ibuprofen takes care of most of the pain. But even when the pain is dampened, it is still there. I am not giving up. Pain is less. Quality of life sucks. I am walking at lowest speed on treadmill 10 minutes a day to keep things moving.
No joy here. Facts only in this entry to continue chronicling.

Oh my goodness...have been away from this site and was hopeful you were slowly improving but not this slowly. Much love and many hopes for that complete resolution of pain and resumption of your life as a pain free woman.
Am stopping by to give a few lines to my friends here. Soon will resume writing.
A belated Merry Christmas from me and a sincere wish for happiness and health in the new year.
