So yesterday was my 2 week follow up after my beloved colonoscopy. I saw Dr Ram's PA, Jennifer. She was really nice and thorough. She said the polyp they removed was benign (yesss!), however it was the kind that does turn to cancer. I was so relieved I went when I did and didn't wait another 6-16 yrs!!! I was planning on going for a colonoscopy at 40, 10 yrs earlier than the norm, bc of my family history....so yeah. Kinda sucker punched me hearing that, but I was just so relieved. She said I did have some diverticulosis pockets in my sigmoid colon and up that side, so that I would just need to be really mindful of what I eat, not being constipated, taking it easy on the red meat (who knew?) and taking my 1 Tbsp of olive oil a day. I'd forgotten that last part, so started in on that pronto yesterday, as well as filled up my pro-biotics too. I still need to get a better probiotic I think. I'm glad to be "done" w/ that all....Lord willing for 5 more years.
Did a big Wally trip yesterday and got a bunch of stuff. 1/2 my cart was filled w/ produce as we're gonna start doing s'more juicing. We're trying to do at least 1 cup a day, me and Randall. Tonight I am cooking meat, albeit organic, but have some curry chicken in the crock. I need to get up and make some brown rice for it to go over. Has fresh chopped garlic and ginger, onions, red wine vinegar, water, cumin, curry, s & p....Smelling SO dang good. Reminds me of massage school smells:) they were always making curry tofu something ruther. It's amazing how much different I've been feeling eating this way. Much less anxious, on edge and moody. I feel so chill and peaceful, and just clear, if that makes sense. I don't feel as though I'm obsessing about it as much, but more of a decision to change the way we eat from here on out. I am not worrying about it nearly as much. Sometimes I get frustrated bc I'm starting all over w/ the recipes, but it's been a fun project. And the juicing is SO cool. I did apple, ginger and carrot juice the last couple days, and it tastes SO good. I need to give the kids some.
Today I've been feeling like crud and more on edge. Not a great time of month for me;) School hasn't been going as smoothly either bc I've been flying by the seat of my pants and don't have my plans in order. School seemed to take forever today. But Evan did really good. The kid is smart as a whip. He even remembered his coins and $ worth and counted out change to "buy" things today again, w/ little help. I was like, Wow. I really need to sit down this summer and plan more cooking and craft/science adventures for next year. I feel like I've done some, but been lazy about it. He could be doing so much more cool stuff. It all goes back to planning and organization and not being lazy. I struggle w/ that. I'm just not very consistent sometimes.
Well, i'd best go. I could fall asleep right now I'm so tired. I switched from ibuprofen to tylenol last night bc the PA said that ibu had to be filtered by my kidneys and i've been having some kidney pain recently, so I'm trying that. Tylenol doesn't seem to be taking the edge off the pain as much today...ugh. so not feeling too hot. I hope R can take the kids to Awana tonight. Somehow E made it home w/out his book last week (or 2 weeks ago) so i'm really hoping it's at church or his book is gone:(( he's kept ahold of it all year so it's really frustrating....Daddy picks them up and doesn't check sometimes:/ oh well. Life.
Peace out.
