mrsbrownI can't take the Gaviscon anymore, my throat closes up and I gag and my stomach threatens to throw the lot up. I'm taking gaviscon tablets when I need to, but that's less frequent lately - only once today, although I had the luxury of hitting the couch when my tummy didn't feel right. My tummy is still not right, but it's different... I'm spending more time staaarving hungry, less time feeling absolutely aaawful, but more time not being sure what I want or need to make my tummy feel "right". I've been wondering if I've been feeling sick for so long that my brain doesn't know how to interpret "OK"
I'm still chasing the Gastro guy and the gastroscopy although I've realised there's no point if whatever they might find can't be treated until after I have the baby.
At my GP yesterday, she asked how I was coping with work. The honest answer is, barely. I get in late, I pfaff around organising food, gaviscon, a drink, going to the toilet, I get a bit of work done and then I leave early. It's crap and I hate it but I guess I can't spend all of my time on the couch at home like I did today.
I wasn't planning to spend my RDO on the couch, but after walking Z to school, and going shopping for clothes (I only managed a pair of tracksuit pants that look like real black pants) I fell asleep on the couch and didn't really get up again. I was ready for bed at 8.30, but then Z asked if I would help with his homework, so I sat on the couch for a bit longer and he sat on the other end, doing his homework and getting me to check it.
I think he's really enjoyed today. Like I said, I walked him to school, cooked him lunch and he cam home to eat it and then he's been the only kid home all evening. He's had my attention all day and he's gone from morose first thing, to playing silly buggers with me over going to bed. I need to make more opportunity for him to succeed at stuff like his homework, or cooking or playing music.
Ah well, the life of a mother, never enough time or energy to give ALL of your children what they really need. Particularly when they're the compliant youngest, who just sits and waits until you have time for them.
