Feeling hindered. Took the last of the colestipol (the med I had the fight with the pharmacy on). No sign of any help on another month's dose. So, in about 12-18 hours, after I eat, I will have intense stomach pains coupled with frequent trips to the bathroom as bile dumps from my liver and goes through my GI tract unimpeded. I can combat it with heavy doses of ibuprofen, but it doesn't provide complete relief and long term use could be an issue.

On the job front, I was quite productive. Five applications in a row made! Just waiting on any response, but if the bile dumping starts again, any interview scheduled might cause some issues, especially when I have to run to the bathroom or pop Advil like candy in the middle of it. Family doesn't seem to care, but then they've never been good strategic thinkers. And I'll suffer as a result.

On a small plus side, got to give a card to the friend who's having regular dialysis at the moment. Chose one with a diver and a great white shark taking a selfie. Left a little message, wished him good health, wished him peace and even through in some ancient Greek (his day job involves translation). He seemed to like it!
