Hoping

[wiseheart]

So, I talked to our family doctor yesterday and she prescribed some stomach pills for Mum. They seem to be working, although I don't want to become too optimistic after only one day. Still, they eased her suffering, so I actually got to do a few (very minor) things for me today. Like finishing the seaming of the ladybird/mermaid double page and finally cobbling together the last couple of paragraphs to Chapter 16 of Timescapes.

The extra run to the pharmacy in the morning didn't help with keeping ahead of things - housework is really soul-numbing with its never-ending monotony. But I managed. And now that picowrimo starts the day after tomorrow, I'll have something to look forward to. Something that isn't part of the daily sh*t.

In actuality, I should start Easter baking, soon. I'm afraid I won't be doing much in that are this year, though. It would be simply too much.

Glad to hear your mum finally got some stomach meds.

Believe me, so am I!

Keeping my fingers crossed that the pills help!

As long as you can bake a few nice treats for the two of you, that's what matters.

I think just a few sorts wouldn't be so hard. But we'll see.

Your mum deserves treats now that she might be able to enjoy them without heartburn.

What did the doctor give her?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Something called Pantoprazol.

Ah. Good one.

I haven't even been thinking about Easter.

Normally, I'd be making prezzies and baking cookies like crazy already. Not this year, I'm afraid.

I have my fingers crossed that the stomach meds are helping long term.

Thanks. It would be a blessing indeed.

Cut yourself some slack when it comes to baking. Time for your friends to bake for you.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Nah, they aren't the baking types. Which is why I'm the one to gift cookies upon them. This time, though, they'll have to do without me, I'm afraid.

That's the same medicine I take. Hope it works well for your Mum, it does for me.

Thanks, it seems to work well enough.
