Tuesday, December 11th

Woke off and on from 4:30. Got up at 7:00. Drank some warm water. Took the tincture and oregano pills with a slice of apple. Had a shower and washed hair. While in the shower had an urgent need to have a bowel movement. Got out of the shower and had a soft BM with some effort. Got dressed and ready and left to walk to work at 7:35. 

No issues walking, went slow, felt a bit lightheaded slightly nauseous (sometimes happens with a hot shower in the morning) but mostly ok. Drank water all morning. Ate one digestive cookie and half a mandarin orange. Went for a 15min walk at 9:15. Right hip area sore after walk. 

10:00 meeting had right hip pain and some left sided chest richness but it resolved. 

Took an Aleve at 11:00 as my side was squeezey again. Not super painful but constant enough to make me feel a bit dizzy. Went for sushi at 12:00. Ate four pieces of California roll, four pieces of prawn tempura roll, two pieces of avocado roll (all with spicy mayo, sesame seeds, and soy sauce), miso soup and green tea. Feeling very tired. I could use a nap for sure. 

Drank hot water for remainder of afternoon. Ate another digestive cookie. 

At 1:15 I had another, softer looser BM. 

Meeting in the afternoon around 1:30-2:30. Face felt flush and irritated throughout the afternoon. 

Got driven home at 4:15 but had to walk to 4th floor in parkade. Went very slow up the stairs. Didn’t hurt but felt straining on my right side. Was also carrying my purse and another heavy-ish bag. 

Home at 4:30. Ate a few handfuls of leftover popcorn. At 5:30 I made two tuna sandwiches with canned tuna, Hellman’s mayonnaise, diced celery and black pepper. Took tincture and oregano pills. 

Took some photos, read a book, worked on the computer for a bit. 

At 7:15 took an hour long hot bath and read my book in the bath. 

Sat on the couch afterwards for about an hour and read my book. My right flank felt squeezed sitting on the couch. I tried to lay down flatter but it didn’t help. I got up for bed at 9:30. Pain subsided a bit while upright. Realized I forgot to sort out the music on my mums iPod. Spent half an hour at the computer trying to do that (pain worse when sitting) then tidied up for bed. 

Went to bed at 10:30.
