So yes, my digestive tract continues to be my major challenge. I have now quit taking in food by mouth entirely because it's gotten to be a sure thing that I will bring it up, if not that day then within a day or two. Diarrhea is also y constant companion. Got blood work done three days ago and the dietician called to say the that all's fine with the exception of slightly lowered potassium levels. Consequently will be seeing my GP next week to see if we can get to the bottom of the GI problems.
On to other things.
My art studio experience is now over. I pulled out at the end of December. Although sales were good over the few weeks preceding Christmas, paying rent in the slower months just makes the venture a poor financial investment. No regrets though. It was a fun experience and am now looking to the future. Currently the walls of my apartment are covered in pictures. For the month of February, I will have a showing at the London Public Library, Central Branch. This should give me exposure to a whole new audience. Also is some interest from an art store who, I hope, will take some of my work to sell on commission.
Also have upcoming activities with Scleroderma and Arthritis Societies. Started doing ESL with a new student, my second, a couple of weeks ago. This weekend is the third weekend get together with thee writing group which is always inspiring and I could use some inspiration right now as my writing has slowed considerably although I currently have 385 pages of my memoir in rough draft form.
In summary, I'm hopeful that I can get my GI problems sorted so I can at least start eating a bit again an, more importantly, be able to go out without worrying about having an attack of diarrhea.
