October 13, 2009

I tried to eat some low-fat cottage cheese yesterday. Well! That was a mistake! I suffered all night. I have not eaten any dairy products in quite some time but thought I needed some more calcium. I will stick to the Calcium Citrate tabs from now on. I am having problems going to the bathroom again. Not sure why. Guess I better drink more Phsyllium Husks with water.
I have to eat light, soft foods today so everything will be clear for the Ultra Sound on my liver tomorrow morning.
Of course that is all I have been eating for the past few months. I'm so afraid to eat anything that might irritate my intestines or that spot where the cancer is because it might bleed profusely. The last time I had that happen was on Sept. 17th when I ate raw celery. I am bleeding more since the Colonoscopy but not too bad. Right now I seem to have a blockage again. But the ache in my lower bowel isn't as bad. That usually aches more after I go.

It's a rainy, gloomy day again. I had about five squirrels down here this morning so I threw out some nuts for them before the foxes show up. Last night I saw three of the young ones out there. Jim thought they'd be leaving soon but I think maybe they will stay close by all winter if they know there is food here. But I don't know if I will be able to feed them much longer . If I have to be lying in bed healing from surgery, it's going to be very hard. I feel bad about that. I can just see those squirrels up on my window peeking in at me. I hope they don't start chewing the windows all to hell. At least I don't have a lot of them any more since the foxes have been around. I also have had a cat here every day catching the Voles. So that keeps the squirrels at bay. Maybe I should hire the cat! Ha! Ha!
