been taking a number of drugs lately as I am dealing with a few health issues… had quite a scare at my CancerCare check-up the other day and it turned out to be just a little thing but it did mean taking some drugs…

then a couple of days ago I started to experience abdominal pain, which might have been a side effect of one of the drugs I was taking, but it moved to my side and made me think that possibly my diverticulitis was acting up… hasn’t bothered me for nearly four years… saw the doctor and he agreed so now I am on more drugs…

I don’t like drugs, and often they don’t like me… I am always leary about taking a new one as I don’t know how my body is going to accept it…

pills…

usually I would prefer to deal with pain rather than drugs, but sometimes you just can’t get around it, sigh… hopefully I won’t be on these for long and they will do the trick…

besides not dealing well with drugs, I have difficulty swallowing pills… not nearly as bad now as it used to be…

one of the meds that was prescribed was 8 quite large tablets that I had to take all at once with food… after lunch yesterday, two of my colleagues tidied up the kitchen and chatted while I worked at getting these pills down… it was quite wonderful to just have them there supporting me and I was able to get the job done… not sure I  could have done it at home, on my own…

today I felt out of sorts, cold, slight headache, just not myself… think it was my body responding to that large dose of antibiotics yesterday… finally tonight I am starting to feel better… and I realized that my side had not bothered me at all today, yay…

morning glory buds…

there was one morning glory blooming today but there were many buds as well… looking forward to more blooms…
