Delicate belly

Two posts today--I'm posting the other one separately because it's happy and I want it to stand (ar ar ar--you'll get that later) on its own.

This is the kind of sucky post, which I'll post second so it'll show up on feeds first. That's weird, isn't it?

Anyway, I had another rough night with my tum. No excruciating pain, but just residual aching and soreness. Enough to keep me from falling into deep sleep. When I did sleep, I had discomforting dreams about medical stuff. Exams, nurses who obviously knew something was wrong but wouldn't tell me anything, frustration, anxiety, lots of blood. Not scary, but stressful.

Of course I was exhausted this morning, so I called in sick to work. I put together a yoga series for stomachache/indigestion and did that before making myself a banana/greens/ginger/chia smoothie*. I'm gonna see if a liquid diet today helps things calm down in there. Smoothies for me are kind of tricky--I'm not supposed to eat many raw foods. But I think my GI tract just needs a fucking break once in a while and now is one of those times.

For lunch I'm going to try making something with cooked carrot puree and maybe sauteed pineapple?

If I'm not feeling better tomorrow, well, I see Dr. Khosh on Friday and I can talk to him about this new(ish) development then.

221B Con is a week from tomorrow and damned if I don't do everything in my power to at least be back to my version of feeling good/normal by then.


* 1/2 banana, 1 big handful of greens, 2 T soaked chia seeds, 1/2 t powdered ginger, 1/2 c almond milk, 1 raw duck egg

Sorry to hear about your tum. Hope you do feel better for 221b Con? Ahh I can't believe it's only one week away.

Ooo I haven't put powdered ginger in my smoothies yet. Right now I'm drinking a smoothie containing: greek yogurt, spinach, milk, flaxseed, cucumber, banana, raspberries, protein, melon.

Cucumber! Oh, I'm so glad I caught this right before I logged off to go to the grocery store. That sounds like a delightful addition for a lunch smoothie. Thank you!

And I know! Only a week, holy geez. See you soon!

I really hope that your tum feels better today! <3

The no-solid-foods thing sure is helping.

ALSO I would nearly give my eyeteeth to do a photoshoot of you in your John Watson with the Sebastienne Moran I just finished.

Oof. I'm sorry you're having tummy issues, but I'm glad the smoothies are helping.

I'm feeling a bit better, but now I'm afraid to eat and I'm starving. =b

DAMMIT bodies!

At least I'm glad you found a way to calm things down.

Well, I don't know how much the liquids thing actually helped. Gonna try no fruit for a while. See today's post.

*sigh*
