Well, i had a very eventful weekend. I've had a long running stomach condition since i was a child, and it flares up every couple of years. Lately i've been going through a mild flare up, and the other day i noticed a weird lump in my perinium area between my legs! it got alot bigger, causing me discomfort on sat when i was with my friends, so much so that i called it a night early. it got worse and when i woke up on sunday morning it felt like i had a golf ball under my skin!
went to royal infirmary A&E and it was diagnosed as an absess. got transferred to a different hospital and was put under anaesthetic that day and got it cut out of me. that said, i now have a one cm deep "hole" in my flesh, so have to see bloody nurses every two days to make sure it's getting healed properly and is sufficiently clean, etc.
so i went into hospital on the sunday, and got out today, the monday. taking tuesday off work to recover fully. tuesday should be my biceps forearms legs workout, but i'm gonna alter it and exclude squats/leg presses, as i can imagine that will cause the dressing to fall. it's only for a few weeks, and **** it - my general health is more important than my body aspirations. there's no point in me gunning for bulging quads in two years if i've got a colostomy bag in me instead.
So Tuesday should be - biceps, forearms, calves and maybe hams.
Sunday:
Diet: 1 banana, one jammie dodger (and nothing else as was nil fluids and nil food!)
Monday:
Trekk soya bar - 300 cals
Corned beef hash, boiled potatoes, peas and carrot soup - 500 cals i think.
Banana smoothie - 200 cals
Now i'm at home now so will break into my usual diet now i think.
I'm worried as i've not taken my PCT for two nights now, so am getting back onto it pronto.
Man it's crap being in hospital - i always associate it with very ill old people or really poor unhealthy people. I always feel so depressed and vulnerable - one day you're up town feeling good, the next you're in an alien environment, confined to a bed in a room full of ill strangers, at the mercy of another stranger, risking the possibility of waking up minus an intestine or something. On the upside, it makes you appreciate your loved ones and your good friends, and teaches you the value of your health - big muscles is merely a bonus. hmmm this is turning into a bit of an online diary, but what the hell - i don't think there's enough posting on this site these days! :P |
