Colonoscopy did not go well. No credit for liquid diet before prep solution. I was only passing water in bowels. The 2.5 hour drive there was tense. Did stop once but stops are irregular and if not prepared…. You know. Dr threw hissy fit that I didn’t finish the prep. Totally ignored I recently had bariatric surgery. Said I would need to reschedule in 6-12 months. He did the procedure regardless. Several times I felt like he was bulldozing my colon. I am not a happy camper. I think he was more interested in finding debris than checking for any colon problems. I do not have a family history of colon cancer. The only reason I had first colonoscopy was bleeding rectally. Result thin skin membrane in anal area and hemorrhoids.
On Saturday I went shopping walking still painful. Used cane and store electric carts. But even better the guys arrived to install my solar panels. I have dreamed to add solar since I bought the house. Electric heat no a/c added tankless electric water heater. Life is good. Rested hip after shopping. Too much pain to climb ladder into pool.
On Sunday I was finally able to walk with small difficulty. I went out to back of house to clear weeds in anticipation for electrician to hook up solar panels to house and meter. After first battery for weed eater went to sleep, was using second battery when my yard worker stopped by. Primarily he is mowing when I can’t. And the back of the house was in great need. I was also getting tired. He finished and I have to say the timing could not have been better. Later on I did get in the pool. Even the water therapy exercises went well.
Today I met with orthopedic for results on ct scan. I guess the dr and PA are in wonder that I have only now started to complain about my hip. The arthritis is bad and is not going to get better without surgery, I wanted to wait until bariatric anniversary before replacing. I did get shot in June and have follow up in sept. I will meet with bariatric team in aug I think didn’t check calendar for exact date before starting this update. Oh well. I have issues taking pain meds I don’t like the idea, but right now I may not have much of a choice.
I rested after I got home took pain med and went to do weed eating in pool yard then mowing, batteries last about 45 min each so two for the weed eater and 2 pair of two for the mower before they ran out of power. That was time well spent. I got stung in my left ankle. Had husband look at it after I got out of pool. Yep swollen May still have stinger in it. Walk in clinic in the morning oh goody. Some days are up and down. The pool tonight was just for relaxation no therapy tonight. It was great water temp avg is 88 degrees.
Oh yeah my phone went in the pool with me. I can say the cover system I bought for it saved my phone. It got damp in the 1.5 hour I was in the water, but it still works. Took cover off dried inside of case working like a champ.
I know I write too much. But it is good to just be able to share. Thanks everyone
