We were awoken today to the words of a not very happy child saying "it's the last day of summer vacation, lets go play!" Poor kid. He starts school tomorrow, and I'm sure it will be a great year for him, but I understand why he's sad summer vacation is over.
As of yesterday afternoon, I have had pretty much non-stop abdominal pain. I have done the painkillers non-stop, not that they've helped all that much. Also, yesterday afternoon, I stopped having bowel movements. It got me a bit worried, as in the past, pain plus no BM has meant obstruction. Fortunately, this morning, I had a BM, part formed, part D. (sorry if this is TMI, but with Crohn's Disease, you get used to analyzing BMs). But before that happened, I was awoken in the middle of the night to intense pain. I couldn't fall back to sleep, and it was another 2 hours until I could take another pain pill. I just had to wait it out. Eventually, I was able to fall back to sleep.
Today, we went to an "end of summer vacation" barbecue with my sister, brother in law, two nieces, some of my sister's friends who were in town visiting and my mom. My son, who is 7, played great with his nieces, who are 4 and 2. He took turns, and played hide and seek with his 4 year old cousin. He even alerted us when she got sick. Then he found a boy his age to play with, and they were spinning on the tire swing.
By the time we got home, I was exhausted. I slept for about 2 hours. Tomorrow will be a busy day. First day of school opening schakarit, then I have a blood draw appointment in the afternoon. If I am up for it, there is a boat ride on the Mississippi to benefit Neighborhood House, but I doubt I will be in the mood for it, or have the stamina for it.
