Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give a quick update about all the "me" stuff. We got our new apartment on the 1rst of August but it was a disgusting mess (like, we found toe nail clippings and stuff everywhere.. all their food was left in the fridge, the dishwasher (which hasn't worked in the last 6 monthe apparently) was full of dishes (which have also been there for 6 months -ew) and the painting job was *awful*. It used to be bright blue and purple and someone did one coat of white over top so in a lot of spots it looked light blue, some spots they didn't even bother with.. blah.
I spent two whole days last week just cleaning, then we started painting. We are painting *everything* so it is a big job. We are almost done now, just have the trim to do and the kitchen. Adrian has painted all the ceilings and everything.
Our landlord isn't being all that great - saying he cleaned stuff when he clearly didn't, not taking away and replacing the nasty (useless) dishwasher... oy.

In health news... well, it's not good. I am off the Dicetel 'cause I had such a bad reaction. Going to start taking Pariet for reflux once we are moved and settled in case it does indeed cause "bowel evacuation". Hoping to hear from GI doc soon to get something to replace the Dicetel. Until then, I am back on the Immodium wagon.
My anxiety levels are pretty high at the moment, going to start to audio program again once we have moved (I need to buy it again as I broke one of the CDs).
Adrian loves his new job, my greivance at my work for full time (they gave it to new hires instead of a group of us, so we all grieved it in April and it just came through) so they have increased my hours all over the place so I am working like crazy.

That's about it at the moment. I took some "before" pictures of the apartment, but they aren't that telling. Maybe when I take "after" pictures, they will be.. If so, I'll post them soon. We are hoping to move in next Wednesday.

**hugs for all**
Steph
