Updatey thing

selenayToday I'm feeling pretty tired, but that could be the mammoth grocery trip that I went on earlier.
Mum arrived yesterday and is taking very good care of me. She won't let me go out on my own (boo!) and she's helping me with things, but without making me feel stifled. It's lovely having my Mum here. At least now there's someone here to keep me company at hospital appointments and provide a shoulder when I need one.
The bad news is that there is a bit of bleeding again, but not much so hopefully I'm not losing badly. There is a lot of cramping, particularly when I eat, but heat pads help a lot with that. The cramping is getting worse, though, so I have a feeling that Mum will insist on an ER visit if they get intolerable way before I would dare to think about the ER. I'll have to see how the next couple of days go.
I've got a colonoscopy scheduled for Wednesday. That should give us some answers about what's going on. Hopefully the GI guy will see me a few days after it, to tell me the results, because it sounds like I'll be completely whacked out on sedatives. Maybe he'll be willing to give Mum some preliminary info on the day? I'll ask him and ask what I can do about the cramping because it's a bit intolerable.
I'm planning to go to work tomorrow, although Mum insists on driving me (she may have a point) and I may only be there part of the day and then I'll work from home. I'll have to work from home on Tuesday due to the prep for the test on Wednesday and then I'll probably work from home on Thursday because I'm not sure how I'll feel. Friday will be played by ear.
The good news is that, while I haven't gained any weight, I haven't lost anything since Monday. I'm going to try to keep eating normally as much as possible so that I don't lose anything more.
It seems incredible that this time last week, I'd started to feel a bit better and thought I might be over the worst of whatever bug I'd had.
