Brandy's Success Diary

I'm glad you're taking it easy. That is what's best for you atm. Don't worry about your house being mess--you can clean up when you feel better. :)
 
I had another outburst of pain last night. From a scale of 1 to 10; last night it was a 10. I took a bath with inscents ((sp??)) and lots of bubbles, and it stopped me from crying. It was sooo relaxing. That brought the pain down to a 9. Then I just layed down. By the time I went to bed (which means falling asleep on the couch like I have been for the past few days now).. it was an 8. I was in so much pain. This morning.. the first second I woke up it was about a 1. Now it is a 2. I am going to bake a lemon chiffon cake today with a lemon mousse filling. And a bit of lemon flavoring in the frosting. I'm excited to do this. I am going to make a demo for the family, and then the actual cake I bake will be for a friend of mine's birthday. I hope it comes out ok. That is why I am doing a demo though. So I can see how mine comes out, and I will order one from the bakery as well. Speaking of which... i better get calling her!! I think I might go on a walk today. I at least have to walk around the grocery store to get a few ingredients!!
 
A 10??? When are you having that ultrasound? I don't quite understand what it will show that the cat scan didn't - smaller details? Like gallstones? At least, if it is that, and you can get a fast operation, the new way with keyhole surgery can provide quite a short down time and only a couple of teeny lines in your skin after.

Whatever it is, it's way too painful!! Poor Brandy!! I do hope you can get if fixed soon.

Just saw one of these this morning! Patients are back to doing normal things within 24 hours!
 
Brandy, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well last night! Make sure you take it easy and if you don't feel up to it, don't go for a walk. Your health really is what matters right now.

I have no idea. I never got an ultrasound. I have to make an appointment for a specialist. Because obviously there is something wrong that they can't see.

Thank you. I understand what you are talking about concerning my health. My antibiotic makes me dizzy. But over-all, the pain is still only a 2!! I will be going on a walk today! But it may not be a long one.
 
I just got back from grocery shopping. I am upset because Dan and I are very tight on money this month, and all I could afford for food was PB&J; Ramen;Bagels; and hotdogs. I have some spaghetti in the cabinet, and I also have some Chicken noodle soup. Whatever... I will figure something out.

The pain is only a 2 right now. I am glad because I have quite a bit of baking to do. I bought the ingredients for the lemon chiffon cake. I hope it comes out good! I have to have it for Tuesday morning. Today's cake will be a demo... to see if this is good enough. I have faith in myself!!

Well...it is after 1pm, and I still haven't eaten today. So... I am going to go make myself something to eeeaaaatttttt. Then medicine, then walk. Then Cake.
 
Oh Brandy, Im so sorry you are in pain, I wish I had more time to keep up with you.

sending you love and best wishes, and lots of pain free days (((((((HUGS))))))))))
 
Hello Sweetness!! I sure hope that specialist figures out what's going on, nobody should live with pain and not know how to at least try and manage it. I feel for you, and I'm sure it sucks! My prayers are with you okay!! **Kim reaches out to pat and hug her girl*** hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself and don't stress over working out, you need to get better first and foremost!
Lots of love to you
Kim
 
Like I said earlier, if it is gallstones, oily, spicy foods will make you miserable--so stay away from those. Have you scheduled an appt with the specialist? If not, that should be priority #1. You have to find out what's wrong, b/c it won't go away on its own. I'm glad the pain was better today, and I hope you feel better soon. :hug2:
 
Hi Brandy,

I wanted to stop by and see how you were doing. Seems you haven't checked in, in a couple of days which has me worried. I hope you're ok. Please keep us posted.

Hey everyone!! I've had some realizations over the past few days. I am feeling a lot better. The pain only hurts sometimes. But I'm going to exercise my butt off tonight and tomorrow as much as I can. So maybe the scale will move. Its only been down .6 lbs. Which bums me out...but its because I haven't really moved lately. I've just been relaxing. This upcoming weekend I will be getting TONS and TONS of exercise in. I am going to my father's house to watch the pets for the weekend. And I have a dog there that LOVES his walks. And I do too!!! It will be awesome! I just needed to get some rest in... seeing as it will give me energy, and help me concentrate on what is best for me. I will post a lot more later- just after I get a few things straightened out.
