Bodily Functions
Today was fun. Starting off with diarrhea. Actually it started last night. And you know god is smiling down on you when you get diarrhea the day that there are workers outside your house who cut off the water supply. So you can’t wash your hands. Hah. At least we had water in the fridge.
And then you go to full dosage on your new meds. Which means you have to swallow TWO of those damn little huge tube pills. Gah. They are hard to get down. They make me puke in little ways. I actually got one down and then when I tried to get the other down, burp, up came both again.
Is this quite possibly the grossest entry I have written yet? Maybe I should make a poll.
I need to read the “instructions” to the new meds. It did say something about it being possible to open up the tubes but then it also said something about them not being for chewing so I am wondering why I’m not allowed to chew the tubes if I am allowed to break them open. Anyhoo, I’ll have a look at it tomorrow morning.
And other than that, not a lot has happened of course. Thank you all for the test comments. I have decided to use the “moderate all” setting. Which means all comments have to be screened by me before they appear. That way I’ll at least sleep safe in the knowledge that no spam will appear.
That’s it. Bye bye.

I’ve been sick for the past two weeks and I’ve had diarrhea, too. I think it’s called the stomach flu. So anything I eat or drink comes squirting out within an hour. So I can’t leave the house for fear that I might squirt in my car. But that only happens early on when I’m sick.
I am slowly getting better and the squirts have come less and less. I’ve already used up a rather large amount of toilet paper. Once, when I ran out in the bathroom, I keep extras in downstairs, I had to use my socks to wipe. It was very unpleasant and I’ve since thrown those pair of really good socks away.
So now I’ve been keeping an extra stash in my bathroom just in case the squirts come back. I know that feeling, Plume. It isn’t something one talks about. But still it’s a human condition, you know like talking to bushes or wearing silver metal wigs to Mass.

You both just keep those bad germs. I’ve had allergy problems the last several weeks. The farmers are taking crops out (beans and corn) and there’s lots of dust in the air. I don’t need to get a cold and that’s what’s going around in our area.
Hope you both get to feeling better. Luis, try the Immodium tablets or the other brand next time. They sure help me. Plume, sometimes the medication instructions say you can open the capsule and mix up in applesauce and then just swallow the applesauce. The med may taste really bad or make you write bizarre blogs if you chew it! (ha, ha)
PS: I talk to squirrels! We counted 13 squirrels on our way thru town after work. We affectionately call them “nutters”. So, it’s one nutter, two nutters, three nutters, and so on. Breaks up the monotony on the way home.

Luis – Yes, stomach flu sounds right. That sucks about the socks. I will make sure to keep us stocked up on toilet paper.
Deb – I will keep my germs to myself. Maybe I’ll collect them all in test tubes and save them for some kind of biological warfare. Yes.
I love squirrels. They’re so nutty. And just the word squirrel. It’s brilliant.
