Surgery? for constipation?

Right, now that I've got my custom title option, I've gone & put as many references to The Wheel of Times books as I possibly can in my avatar/title/signature.

Probably doesn't mean much to people who haven't read the books though.

Since you all asked, I'll kindly explain a bit:

Possible trigger:

That blurb in my signature is part of the opening to the first paragraph in the first chapter of every book in the series. Kind of self-explanatory; time isn't linear, rather it repeats itself over many "Ages". Or to put it another way it's cyclical.

That's where the icon in my signature comes in. That's The Wheel of Time with the serpent eating its tail representing the same sort of idea.

Now my title, ta'veren are people who can influence "the weaving" of The Wheel of Time. Essentially people are like threads that are woven by it in a pattern.

Loial actually is not a ta'veren... but we'll just ignore that.

The wolf icon represents a character Perrin... who himself is a wolfbrother, i.e. has certain characteristics of a wolf & can communicate with them

If anyone is interested, here are all the different icons used at the start of chapters:

WoT Chapter Icons

They might not mean much to some, but they are interesting to look at nonetheless.

Oh, and The Wheel of Time series is a fantasy style of book sort of like Lord of the Rings, but not... very good. By the late Robert Jordan. (and Branden Sanderson wrote the last books with his notes) I'd highly recommend them even if you aren't massive fans of fantasy.

A blockage of faeces can actually be pretty bad for you if laxatives won't clear it. I assume the doctor is probably talking about some non-invasive procedure rather than surgery, but I could be wrong.

That was really neat, thanks Loial!

I think you should, I know talk of "surgery" may seem daunting but I think it'll probably be:

Possible trigger:

a mini-enema or a suppository with meds inserted into, well... you get the idea

I think before that different laxatives can be tried in a certain way.

Just getting all this from here

newtus · Jan 19, 2016, 12:35 PM

thanks guys. im gonna try prune juice too because im going to the bathroom just a little bit but not much

Jan 19, 2016, 01:12 PM

finally working myself up to call the clinic and they only operate during almost exactly my work hours. typical. do you think it's in poor taste to take sick leave for mental illness? i mean obviously these people won't think it's valid. i remember during my orientation they said in the smuggest way possible, "you alreadyHave mental health days!!!!!!! :-) its called weekends and vacation :--)"

ofthevalley · Jan 19, 2016, 02:01 PM

Hi everyone. Working again. Today I get to work all 3. Yay me.
Slept like **** again. Tonight I'm skipping the ambien. I can fall asleep for naps okay so I'll try for night too.
My son broke another bracket for his braces so we get to go back to the orthodontist. I think it'd be easier if we just moved there at the rate this kid is going. It's the same bracket as last week so I think something was done wrong.
I hope everyone is having a good day.

I called the police. The only useful thing she said is that I have to go through the courts to get a restraining order. She wouldn't believe me or listen to me about the other stuff. Dumb as a box of rocks.

justmeandmyhead · Jan 19, 2016, 02:40 PM

I called my cpn today, though I didn't want to, as I needed her for my PIP claim. Haven't spoken to her since I refused my depot. I said I know they are working against me and I don't trust them and she said that's part of my illness. I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm getting the depot again tomorrow but I feel like I've failed and given in. Don't want anything to do with them. But what if I do have an illness and they aren't plotting against me. I'm so confused.

Well, I think the fact you have doubts surrounding this mistrust in them, shows somewhere deep down you know you do have an illness. I think when you get your shot, you'll feel better & less confused...

I realised I need my antipsychotic when it kicked in and my thoughts cleared. It's amazing how much difference it can make.
I think my resolution for 2016 will be to take better care of myself both physically and mentally. Like getting washed, wearing clean clothes, not dieting too hard, learning to be happy with who I am, making sure I take my meds and work with my team. Just look after myself more

who knows. im not mad i just was observing this situation as not very friendly. i thought maybe it was me because i keep buying lots of tickets from that store.

Thanks loial, maybe you're right and this is just my thoughts being confused. They said I didn't give the higher dose enough of a chance, but I feel like I've not felt right on this depot for quite a while. Got an appt with my psychiatrist I hope he listens. I truly feel like my cpn is evil and is trying to hurt me. It's upsetting me that I don't know if I can trust my own thoughts. Thank you for reminding me what I said, it helps to read that I did feel better than this at one point

Maybe she's being tortured by her neighbors lol. No really though, I'm sure it was nothing to do with you.

Loial · Jan 19, 2016, 03:00 PM

Did you buy them all at once, or like buy one... scratch it... then buy another...

If it's the latter I can imagine it might have been a bit tiresome. I'm sure it wasn't really that she was being unfriendly to you.
