Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Perpetual Constipation
***
I'm really regretting not wearing my maternity belt
yesterday. I've been in so much discomfort today. My back
is aching, I'm over-all just really sore, and my symphysis
isn't feeling so hot either. I wish there was something
more I could write other than I feel like crap. I hate
feeling this way. I so miss the days when everything was
great and if it wasn't, I was in a happier state of mind
to deal with it better. Each day is a mental/physical
struggle I never feel ready to undertake. I'm not going to
dwell on this for long, though. I know why I feel this way
and I'm going to be okay.
Today I've been resting. Snookums has taken great care of
me. I've very grateful to him for that. He's a good
husband, even if all you ever hear about him is
complaints. But, I digress. My body feels like it ran a
marathon yesterday and I did no such thing. I made the
mistake of not wearing my belt, which I hadn't realized
kept my pelvis in line so well. Funny, that's exactly why
I'm supposed to wear it! I guess I've learned that lesson.
As uncomfortable as I find it, I need to wear it or I'm
worse off the next day. I took a warm bath and it felt
good at the time, but soon after I got out, the throbbing
in my back started up again. My symphysis burns when I
rotate (getting up from sitting or turning over). Sitting
very still isn't comfortable, either. I'm screwed 12 ways
from Sunday. I don't know what that means.
I took a nap on the couch while Snookie watched the Super
Bowl. When I went to sleep, my hair was still wet and
shoulder length. When I woke up, it was dry. Snookie
helped me up off the couch to go to the bathroom and when
I looked in the mirror I was shocked! My hair had coiled
up to about 3 inches from my head. I look like a French
poodle! So, I suppose I'll only be wearing my hair in the
usual ponytail (with a little rabbit tail on the back of
my head) or flat-ironed (which looks really good anyhow,
but requires more work). I'm not devastated by it or even
upset about it. It's just hair. I've been needing it cut
for years.
I'm going now. I need to poop. You may think that's not a
big deal, but for me it is. I live in a state of perpetual
constipation. Two weeks this time around. I don't mind,
though. We save money on toilet paper :) Ciao.
