I had a little round of solid poop yesterday!  A lot of blood as well, but at least there was some solid going on!  A lot of diarrhea as well, but that little solid ball was a good sign I think.  That was after I entered my blog for the day late at night.

I'll write how my day went later.  It's only 10:35 a.m. right now.

So I woke up this morning extremely sore.  I called my friend and (we had a date for me to clean her house as we're helping each other clean) she said I could be there by 9:30 a.m. So I worked at her house helping her clean until 3 p.m.  I came home, bought groceries, and then sat for a bit with my littlest daughter.  She was with me all day but I didn't pay attention to her as I was helping clean while she played with my friend's children.  At around 6 p.m. I started re-grouting my downstairs.  There's 1000 square feet of tile down there.  I got a huge portion of it done and so in total, I am about half done now.  I did about 1/7th of it a while ago.  It is such difficult work.  So, I didn't think I could get out of bed, and ended up working extremely hard all day.  Yay!  I feel a little better as well.  I have a bad cough though right in my chest.  It hurts.

The toilet was full of blood, but I went less often while I was working.  I ate chicken salad and some cheese sticks today.

Went to a rodeo today.  I didn't think I could make it as my body ached so badly.  My face feels hot as well.  I went to the rodeo anyway for 7 hours.  We went out to dinner and I ate at 6 p.m. for the first time all day.  I had 1/2 a portion of spaghetti and a piece of garlic cheese toast.  A slice.  I thought it would do me in, since I didn't eat all day and I was doing really poorly, but I was OK.  I didn't have to use the toilet the whole 7 hours! I was, however, FREEZING cold.  My lips turned blue and I had a sweater on and the temperature said 73 degrees Fahrenheit.  My body ached so badly I thought I'd have to get David to carry me to the van.  It was horrible.  It was nice being with my family though and I got to see everything without a washroom break.

I now weigh 139 lbs.  Not too much different than normal.  I had an omelette for dinner with four different colors of peppers in it, some mushrooms and onion fried up.  My daughter cried it was so disgusting to her, but she doesn't eat healthy and I'm trying to get her to.  She's six.  My 16-year-old does eat fairly healthily.  That's basically all I ate today besides one of those Japanese drinks (bilbo tea or something like that).  I'm totally full.  So weird.  So far my stomach is ok.  It was having a really hard time all day which is why I barely ate anything.  I used the toilet about ten times before ten a.m. I used it multiple times during the day as well.

So, I didn't eat all day and I still had quite a few issues. I finally ate at 5:00 p.m. (some sweet potato fires).  It was OK.  Now, I'll see what happens.  My stomach hurt before this, now we'll see what happens, but I had to eat.

I read an article yesterday that said that people with a chronic condition can get depressed and that it is essential that I exercise every day to combat that depression.  I can see how I would get depressed with Ulcerative Colitis.  I can't leave the house for very long periods of time.  Going shopping for groceries is not fun.  I think I do, essentially, make myself do things.  I went to my grandmother's funeral last weekend which was a four-hour drive away in Selkirk, Manitoba.  I go shopping if I must, but I do not exercise every day like I was doing before.  The last time I tried, my friend had to drive me home and during the ride home I thought I was going to crap myself in her car.  That was the last time I attempted to work out.  That was a month ago.  I guess I should get the guts up and try it again though.  This is my goal for the next couple of weeks, to work out every day.

So, stomach was bad all morning.  Didn't eat at all until noon.  Had leftover Shepherd's pie.  I feel very full when I eat a full serving of something.  I wish I could go without eating for a couple of days to give my body a break.  I helped a friend clean her house this morning and then she's going to help me Thursday.  I am super tired now.  I don't want to do anything but sleep.  The toilet is full of blood every time I use it.  I poop about 40 times a day or more.

It is now 9:20 p.m.  I haven't eaten anything since lunch and I probably won't eat anything until tomorrow.  I don't feel hungry, so it is no issue as far as starving is concerned.  I weigh 140lbs anyway, which is quite a bit.  I'm 5'9 3/4.  I tried to do things this evening, but I had to use the toilet too much.  I don't feel comfortable leaving the washroom for very long.  Every time I move my stomach feels like I'm forcing my large intestine lining to detach from the wall of my stomach.
