Thursday, December 6th

Woke up at 6:45. Got out of bed at 7:30. Very tired. Fell asleep quite quickly last night with my glasses still on and my ponytail still in. So I’ve woken up with a bit of a headache and probably because of the headache I feel slightly nauseous but not too bad. Took a generic Excedrin for the headache.

I made a slice of toast with vegan margarine and jam but I only ate two bites. Ate a slice of apple while drinking my tincture and took my oregano pills. Felt a sharp gas bubbles move through my pelvis it hurt but it passed. Feels like I need to have a BM but when I sat on the toilet nothing happened. Left to walk to work at 7:45. I’m still walking very slowly but my hips and ovaries don’t hurt as much as the last couple days.

Had a formed BM at 8:45. Getting infrequent somewhat sharp pains in pelvis and right hip. Feel a bit lightheaded or dizzy. Ate half a banana at 9:15. Went to meetings all morning. Didn’t feel great but no major issues. My right groin/hip is aching and my abdomen feels tense but I managed. Went for a slow 15 min walk at 10:00. Googled if I could take an Aleve with having taken the Excedrin earlier. Google does not advise this double NSAID combo so I just rode it out. 

At 11:45 walked a couple blocks to lunch at Il Terrazzo. Ate a chicken breast and prawns and grape tomatoes on a cheese and basil fusilli pasta. Pasta was not overly cheesey, I ate the pasta with the protein and left the rest to take home to husband. Walked back to work at 1:00 feeling a bit bloated but hip area feels better. 

At 2:00 I felt very uncomfortable. Like I had a huge gas bubble in my pelvis or like I really needed to had a BM. Some discomfort as well around my cervix area. Went for a walk to the mall at 2:45 and was already feeling better. 

Lasted the rest of the work day. Left work at 4:25. Carrying a bag plus my purse with groceries in it definitely hurt my right side quite noticeably. Both a sharp pain on my mid flank and a halting ache in my hip/groin. Took me almost 30mins to walk home. I felt immediate relief once I was no longer carrying the bags. 

I ate a slice of toast with cheese whiz and later had Szechuan noodles with meat sauce for dinner. I took the herbal tincture and oregano pills. 

I worked on the computer from 6:00-8:00 getting up occasionally to help the kids with something. Mild discomfort throughout the evening but relatively feeling pretty Ok. At 8:30 I sat down on the couch with the heating pad to read my book. 

Went to bed at 11:30
