Grrrrr Its Been A Rough Day Already!

Today is my day to rant!

Well, this all started yesterday, I found out AFTER I got to work I would have today and tom off..... gee nothing like letting someone know ahead of time right.... So no I did not have anyplace planned for eating, my turkey is frozen still so not eating anything special at home either!

I volunteered (since I would be home and working) to take care of my friends horses (all 14 of them) while she was at her family's enjoying turkey and pie... wouldn't ya know it the 80 degree temps left just as she did, its now a whopping 15 degrees with snow to boot!

I get dressed... warmly.... and go to start my truck.... noticed I have a REALLY flat tire... no problem just use the other one will deal with the tire when I get back...

Finally I headed to her house to find 3 of the horses were out, seems part of their fencing broke since I had left last night... Just so you know horses who dont know you are afraid and tend to go in the OPPOSITE direction you want them to, its a fact of nature! After an hour of coaxing I finally got them in and fixed the fence..... well before this time I am freezing... I go find something to chop the inch of ice out of their water so they can drink.... go to the little pony's pen and WHAM! Whack my thumb! Finally I get all the ice broken but cant fill their water cause the pipes are froze... Well, will have to deal with that later...

Get the horses fed and ice broken from their water and head home... Now to deal with the tire.... I air up the compressor, drag it over to the truck... air up the tire...... well this isn't good I can hear the air leaking out, well will head to town and get it fixed..... WRONG after I get to town I see the sign.... "we will be closed thursday".... gee guess why! well crud! quick check of tire reveals I dont have much time....

head to a friends house nearby and air up the tire and head back home..... this is when I take off the glove and find I didnt just whack my thumb a good one I have bled quite a bit and its allllllllll thru my glove and over my hand..... So, lets see how bad it is........ wash it off, which unthaws my hand which gets the blood flowing again...... ok, need a bandaid...... um.... not in the cupboard where they are supossed to be.... quick check and I find them 30 minutes later in the kitchen under the sink.... houseguests last week remember....... ACK!

still bleeding so......... off to the emergency room for 5 stiches..... head to the pharmacy to get the pain meds filled, gee not open big surprise... back home and here I am ready for more, what else will this ole world throw at me today ? talk to hubby........

his truck is running badly may have to go get him after work, plus he isnt feeling well......

OK NEXT! I can handle anything today just watch me! Besides its only 11am!

OK rant over......

Good grief, woman! When you have a bad day, you don't fool around!

Hope the rest of the day was better and today goes smoother for you.

Well, I did my best and the rest of the day wasn't as bad......

Todays not to bad either got my tire fixed, no blood when tending to the horses, and "munchie" actually let me pet him, according to my friend thats something hard to accomplish.... personally I think it was the bribe of the molasses oats, lol.

All horses inside fencing like intended, no more broken fences, no more blood, no more flat tires..... keepingin mind its only 1pm here, I am feeling pretty good.

Also not being able to have the pain meds yesterday I used what I had on hand in the cupboard, decided not to use the pain ones prescribed as its not "to bad" today

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
