Anyway I elected to stay in the hotel for the dayAnd was looking forward to having done time to myselfAnd finishing my bookI spent the day between my bedWhere I slept for two hours And the roof terrace Where I caught some last minute sunOne of the young lads they work hereCame up and asked me if I wanted a drinkAnd a few minutes later he came up with a tall, cool glass of lemonadeIt was most welcome
Our hotel here is lovelyOur room is small but comfortable mans perfectly formed Food here is hit and miss for meSome things I have likedSome I haven't And I am missing home cooking You kind of get sick of eating out all the timeAnd ham!OMfreakin'G I miss ham so much I can't wait to have a ham salad sandwich when I get home
The other day I was backed up again with the C wordMy sister suggested that I drink a strong coffee to get things moving So we headed to the nearest cafeWhere my sister ordered me an espressoAs you knowI am a confirmed tea drinkerAnd actually hate coffeeBut if it did the trickI was willing to try itI knocked back the coffeeThen had half of my sisters AmericanoIt was horribleLike drinking neat alcoholBut I hoped it would helpAn hour later we were heading out for dinnerAnd settled on a Thai place around the corner from our hotel I was hungry And really looking forward to something tastyI ordered the beef saladAnd when it came it looked deliciousBut when I had a few mouthfuls I could feel my stomach churning and gurgling I continued to eat And even tasted some of my sisters curryBut thenI had to stopIt was coming I could feel it I was going to throw upI quietly excused myself Threw on my jacketAnd ran in the pouring rainAll the way to my hotel Just in the nick of timeI made it to the bathroom The mixture of the coffee and the food had not been a good combinationI feel so much better after I got sick though And the coffee even helped with the constipationI hope I am not sharing too much hereBut I know that bodily functions are hot topics in the ED worldI know when I was in treatment We were constantly talking about bowel movements and the likeBecause when you are messing with your food and your bodyAll these functions are sent in to disarrayThe best advice I ever got for helping yourself goIs to raise your legs a littleLike put your feet on a binIt kind of helps angle your body for easier well...... You know what I meanIt just helps things flow easierOh my goodness I am so sorry if this is too much informationBut that little tip might help someone out there
The other day when I posted some photosI forgot to point out something about the 'cat man'He actually had a set of weighing scales in front of him And was inviting people to weigh themselvesHoly shitThat is my worst nightmare come true Weighing myself in a public placeSo I gave him some money But politely declined his offer to weigh go
See if you can spot the scales....
