Too Busy

I am going to be so happy when the fall holidays are over.  I've been too busy, and feel horrible.  And my Crohn's has been affected by it, too.  Thursday, my son was home from school, and I had to clean the house and prepare for our Sukkot party.  The party was fun, and it was great to see friends again.  Then Friday, I met a friend with her daughter and a classmate at the children's museum with my son.  After lunch, we went to Candyland.  The smell in there made me really nauseated.  I had to run back to the Children's Museum to go to the bathroom.  Fortunately, I didn't vomit and my friend was able to take care of my son while I was gone.  Then, when we got home, I was really sick.  I ended up not being able to go to services, and my mom was there for dinner, but I couldn't eat.

Then Saturday, my son really wanted me to join him and my husband at the zoo.  I shouldn't have gone, but I did anyway.  I didn't feel all that great there.  I had to make many stops in the bathroom.  Then, when we got home, my husband was busy getting ready for the Temple's Sukkot festival (he operates the apple press there).  Then today, my son and I were home together all morning while my husband worked at the festival.  Then we went to a friend's Sukkot party.

All this activity and irregular schedule has really affected my bowels.  I was finally down to single digit number of BMs per day, and now I'm back in the double digit land.  Plus, the D is very uncomfortable, and I've been having more stabbing pain in addition to the regular pain.  And on top of that, I am out of pain medication.  Friday night I realized that I had one dose left, and I just had to take it.  I hope I can reach my doctor  Monday morning so I can get a refill, not that it does all that much for the pain anyway.

Tomorrow, I am driving my son to school so my husband can sleep in a bit, then I have to call the doctor and hopefully get a refill and then go to Target.  We are out of milk, eggs and pizza fixings (when I don't feel well, that is the easiest meal to make, and the boys really like it).    Then Tuesday at my son's school they are having breakfast in the sukkah, and I volunteered to help.  Wednesday I will refuse to make any plans and am not leaving my bed, especially since my son has Thursday off from school and my husband has to work.
