Well firstly I want to thank you all for the kind thoughts above. And secondly to fess up to not having t'internet fixed yet.
Much as I suspected it would my gut played up completely at the weekend. I therefore spent the whole weekend in bed or curled up on the sofa.
I was left with a massive amount of adhesions in my peritoneal cavity. (Big sack the belly and organs are in)after 9 and a half years of peritoneal dialysis before they switched me to haemodialysis. The adhesions usually don't bother me too much but sometimes they go into spasm. Certain meda and stress have an impact on this that I am aware of. The problem is that some of the adhesions go right round my intestine and when they spasm it stops my gut and this is a "tad" painful. And gets very messy if I eat as food has nowhere to go. All I can do is take painkillers and anti-spasmodics and wait till the spasms stop.
I hope they have stopped now as I've come to work. Will just need to make sure I have my running shoes on for when the gut starts working again. But that is usually several hours after the pain subsides.
So SW wise it's been a write off as all I've had a couple of chocolates cos I was feeling sorry for myself and a few oatcakes with cheese late last night as they involved no thought and very little effort.
So 2 HEa s of cheese and some syns for oatcakes and chocs over 2 days I'm probably within my syns.
I'm going to have a wee look at other diaries now if I get a moment.

Hey sweetie, aww you poor thing I am so sorry you had such a sh*te weekend and there's me moaning about a puney cold, as for the "diet" don't worry too much about it while you're feeling carp hun, I find SW doesn't often let us stray to far off the right path anyway, somehow it gets into the deepest darkest corners of your brain and guides you from there.
Would be lovely to have you on here 24/7/365 but you fix t'internet when you are good and ready my lovely.
Hope that it's not too bad when your gut starts working again :fingerscrossed:, but I suspect it will be :bighug:
Try and have a good day sweetie and know we are all here for you :hug99: xxx

Thanks Lily, means a lot to me.
I'm just taking the food slowly and enjoying the reduced pain levels (oops that sounds a bit odd, not really a masochist well not this sort of pain anyway
) Keeping up my water intake and hoping for the best.I hope to get a chance to get to diaries later. Damn work. It doesn't half get in the way.

You're doing the right thing hun, just take it easy food wise and to be honest eat what makes you feel ok and gives you some hope of not causing more pain....know what you mean about the pain levels :giggle:, sounds weird but we know what it means...have days like that with my back or I did after my accident, not so much these days thankfully.
Do what ya can do with regards to diaries hun, but get that t'internet fixed as soon as ya possibly can lol :hug99: xxx

Oh no. You poor thing :-(
I can't really imagine what yours is like but I had similar before I had surgery for Crohns disease. I had a blockage in my intestines and the only thing I could 'eat' was clear chicken soup!
Hope your pain goes away very soon x

Thanks Lisa
It's pretty much stopped spasming now but still nothing else doing. IYKWIM
Still scared to eat much. Tried a Mugshot for lunch and a couple of clementines to sort the killer heartburn. Haven't a clue what to try for tea. Might go with your soup idea.
Hope you've had a good day.

Morning!

Have you made up your chicken soup yet?

The pain is getting less but still nowt else happening. IYKWIM
In the end I decided to have chicken on a wm roll last night, more as an experiment to see if innards were up to it. So far so good.
Not sure what all this will do for WI tonight but I'm determined to go and find out.

Hope it's not messy

It's because we don't feel we deserve it
Hope you're ok hun :bighug:
Mentally I'm much better now - more braced for a fight than feeling sorry for myself.
Physically better than I was but still a way to go to get innards working again. IYKWIM Pain has subsided but "awaiting other developments"
Great having you on here more. Even if it's not necessarily for the best of reasons.
But in my book a day off work is a day off work .Look after yourself Tilly we all need you on here

Hey sweetie, hope you're ok and things haven't gotten messy :fingerscrossed: for ya.
Well done for going tonight and well done whatever the result.
Yep i am going tonight, feel a little better but still not great, but won't let it beat me...I know by Kirsty that this is a hard hitting cold that lasts about 3 days where you feel absolute rubbish and then just left with the cough, this is my day 2 -3 so hopefully by tomorrow I'll just have the cough and that's not as bad as Kirsty's cos I don't smoke
Take care lovely and again well done :hug99: xxxxx

Thanks again Lily
I've just upped the ante with a Sweet & Sour mugshot. First S & S one I've had for a while, forgot they can be a wee bit nippy. Hopefully it will wake up my innards. Sorry TMI but I'm getting a bit obsessed now.
I still can't quite believe the difference in you from your signature pics. Truly amazing
Enjoy you afternoon with Jo and I hope your cold is gone by tomorrow. How are Mal & Kirsty doing with the non smoking.
I hope my All in One book will be waiting for me at class tonight. My teeth will be watering just looking at the pictures. I'll need to get planning properly and get the stuff in for run at a few of the dishes. Can you recall if they are suitable for batch cooking & freezing
Here's to a good WI for us both.
