Should have had a bigger supper last night. I’m not supposed to eat after midnight. Youd think I was a Mogwai or something.
Anyway, did my usual 2 hour or so sleep and ended up awake and hungry at 2:30am.
SO here I am, hungry, bored with a slow forum, and nothing to do.
Feel free to post in this thread to help yourself and me kill some time.
I’m pulling an all nighter haven’t been asleep yet but I did get my house cleaned. It smells good in here. I haven’t cleaned my bedroom though. It’s a mess still.
Nice. I will probably try to get a couple more hours of sleep in before I need to get going this morning.
Would be nice to just go to sleep, get 8 hours and go about your day. But thats not me anymore.
It’s morning around here. I was up all night and I’m making dinner. I’m making pulled pork with rice. Yum.
Yummy. Ship me a pulled pork sandwich. It only takes a few hours to get here, right? Amazon is making it seem that way anyway, these days 
.
sorry man, just drink water, a lot of it.
I don’t have the eating problem but I’m with you on sleep. It’s 2:44am right now. I went to bed around 11:00 or 12:00. I don’t get 8 hours like a normal person either. I’m gonna make some coffee and hopefully eventually nap for an hour or two before I walk at 8:00 this morning.
yeah, I grabbed a diet wild cherry pepsi. I usually try to only drink one diet soda a day these days, but I need to keep busy somehow. I guess its the pepsi, vaping, and whatever we can squeeze out of the slow forum.
Sorry on the sleep. It can definitely be frustrating. I’m tempted to prescription sleeping pills again. A different one this time.
you don’t have to worry about the cherry pepsi coloring your innards for the endoscopy? I just know that’s the way it is with colonoscopies.
If it was a coloscopy, yes. This is an upper endoscopy, though, not a lower. All they said was no food after midnight and nothing to drink in the morning. Which I assume by morning they mean when normal people wake up, not 2:30 am.
So , as far as I know, its fine.
Yeah, a colonoscopy is a pain…have to stop certain colors of liquid a good time before, use laxitives to get everything out, cant eat for quite awhile, ect.
Yeah idk why I don’t sleep anymore. I think it has to do with ptsd. I have hydroxizine but im pretty sure I can’t take it now that I started back on my antidepressant. I usually nap a couple hours during the day.
I had another thought and then my internet went out …argggg. im on phone now. Anyway, the thought was that they may only be checking on esophogus this time and not the whole smeal. Because the purpose of a follow up so soon(3 months) after last procedures, was to check pn my Barretts Esophohus. I was told.
I’m scared about what they’re gonna find out this COPD flare up did to my lungs damage-wise. I can’t sleep either. There i was bragging about how much i was walking every day and right now i get fatigued taking the trash out. I feel defeated. I also lost 5 unhealthy pounds this week since i couldn’t eat while breathing thru my mouth.
This whole COPD thing is new and scary and unexpected and i just don’t know how I’m supposed to cope with it. And i know that it’s never gonna “get better”, it’s basically one version of how I’m going to die (if suicide doesn’t get me first).
So…that’s been my weekend, how was yours!?
That sucks. Maybe you can treat yourself after the appointment. I always do that when I have to fast for blood draws.
I’m sorry @WhiteRaven . Not sure what to say to that, other thani hope you dont give up. If i was in your situation, i guess i would just be tryin to mske the most of what time and abilities i still had. I know thats easybto say. Harder to do. Idk what else tobrecommend if there is no improbement possible. I smoked s long time too. Stupid cigarettes.
Thanks @agent101g . I LIkely woll pig out.
holy jeebus. Glad to have my internet back. So many spelling typos on phone. Too big of fingers, I guess.
Oh, Bowens, don’t worry…I’m at least as stubborn as you are! As many suicide attempts I’ve had in my past, I’m a pretty ornery old girl who doesn’t give up without a fight. I’m just a little sad cuz I’m in new territory and won’t find anything out for a couple of weeks…I’ll be okay, if a somewhat slower walker from now on.
bowens hi. i also had an endoscopy done – just a few weeks ago.
nothing to worry about, it goes easily.
wishing you excellent results bowens,
