So yeah, I have IBS... I knew I had it because I had mild attacks in the past until this week when it kicked off majorly to the point that I had to stumble into the doctors surgery without any appointment on my way to pick up little madam from nursery. I saw the surgery and thought f*** it, I need to try. I was in absolute agony :-( I was in tears with the pain and bless the receptionist, they were all about to shut for lunch but she could see how bad I was so got the doctor to see me straight away.
He asked me to lay out straight and prodded my tummy about which made it worse and it was all towards the right-hand side. He was a little worried that it was my appendix. He said I needed to go home, sort childcare, rest and see how I was by 5pm. If it was still bad I should call in at the surgery as I would then be on my way to hospital.
So I picked up little madam 5 minutes early got home as fast as I could (ouch up the hill) and rang the other half as soon as I got through the door saying I needed him home. Within 5 minutes he was on the bus and on his way home. I somehow managed to carry little madam up the stairs and put her in the travel cot in our bedroom, she fell asleep instantly as she was knackered from nursery. I crawled into bed still in agony to wait for the other half to come home and take over from all responsibility. Socks and Mitchel jumped on the bed for cuddles :-)
When the other half got home he settled me in bed properly so I could sleep and put in the baby monitors so he could listen out for little madam. I slept through everything after that.
The other half woke me up at 4.50pm and asked how I felt and do I need to go to the dr again. The pain was still there but it wasnt as excruciating as before. I literally felt like I had been kicked by a horse. As it was so close to 5pm I thought the surgery might be close to closing.
The dr I had seen earlier in the day rang me and asked how I was. He asked if it would be possible for me to come down just so he could check me over again.
The idea of me walking to the surgery was to much so the other half rang me a taxi and agreed to stay at home with little madam just in case I was to go straight into hospital. Anyway got to the surgery and was checked over but it turned out that the pain was shifting about my tummy and at that point the Dr said he was pretty sure it is IBS to the extreme.
All I can do is rest, eat little and often and more rest as well as take my new meds. This all kicked off from midnight on Mon night and Tuesday. It's now Thursday and i'm still suffering :-( I feel really swollen and weak. Just got to ride it out and hope it all ends soon.

In other news... I had a very nice Valentines day on Monday :-) Little madam got a card from HT hehe it says "for you on valentines day from your cheeky monkey" :-)
The kids mum is being induced next Wednesday so as far as we know we now have the kids all of next week for half term, starting from tomorrow evening. It is soooo annoying that I don't get paid until next Friday!!
The other news is that it will be Socks' 2nd birthday on Monday!!! my baby is growing up so fast! The fact that Socks is going to be two only reminds me that little madam will be as well this year! arrrggggghhhh!
