Woke up this morning with chronic stomach pains, It felt like I had done an all night workout with stomach crunches, but I knew I hadn't. I got up made a strong coffee, and chewed on a deflatine, after about 20 mins and a visit to the wc I started to feel better, I was very close to phoning the hospital.
I started getting ready for the day, and put a face on and jewellery. Trying to find something that's picc friendly to wear too.
Spent the morning half watching my husband playing bowls. It was really nice to go in with him today as I haven't seen lots of the old farts that play in the men's over 60'. They are all so sweet though and most waved or came over to ask how things were going. Bless their hearts. I treated hubby to lunch today to save worrying about food later.
I arrived at the hospital at about 1.45 pm and by 2pm I had been weighed and given my first cup of tea. I mentioned about the bad tummy pain and the constipation, one nurse mentioned an African herbal tea that's fantastic but she didn't have any with her, I said has it got good stuff in it? A guy across the room asked what the tea was I told him and we are both debating trying it out. He recommended chia seeds too so I might add them to my diet too. It's so funny when your sat in a room with total strangers, and your all chatting about, poo, or lack of and farts 
it's great though as everyone has different hints and tips to try.
Everything went very smoothly for my last EC and I was finished by 4pm. Stopped for cuppa with my parents on the way home. Only had a light tea tonight of toast and marmite.
So far today I have drunk 1.5 lt water plus 6 mugs of tea, I have probably had enough fluids but will make sure I drink more plus take laxatives before I go to bed.
I will hopefully get a good night's sleep tonight, fingers crossed. Either way I'm still smiling. X
