Feeling sick again because my sleep was interrupted a few times again last night. I'm really just feeling cruddy more times than not.
I seem to have lost the knack of sleeping through. I tend to wake up during, then I am struggling to get back to sleep. I do usually, but it is not pleasant.

I can sleep just fine still... it's just our dog mostly and sometimes neighborhood dogs waking me up in the middle of the night =/ I have a noisemaker, but it can't drown everything out.
Our dog wakes up because she usually has to pee at odd hours from her diuretics now, as her dose was increased about a month ago. It's very exhausting. We have pee pads all around her, so sometimes we just move her over to one to use because she doesn't find them on her own anyway.. or we take her out.

Our dog is on hormones to prevent her squirting. Of late the other has been difficult too. Colitis the vet says. 'Old lady' is what we think.
Funny thing is she doesn't look old or act old. She is also still convinced that she is top dog in the area, and even more odd is the other dogs seems to agree...

I slept a bit better last night.. we are tinkering with times to give our doggy her meds to see if it lets us sleep more lol hopefully we can figure something out that will actually work for more than a day at a time!
Not too good here this morning.. Ive had a bit of pain in my right lower back just above my hip bone for a couple of weeks and put it down to a slip I had on some mud.. Then last night the pain in my lower stomach started and got worse and worse my belly below the belly button was tender swollen and I had pain. I assumed it was a UTI and phoned my doctor this morning. I dropped a sample in at 8.55 and by 9.15 they called and told me it isnt a UTI so I have to go in at 11.30 for an appointment. Fingers crossed its nothing too serious. I have plans this weekend!

No fever and infection values are at 15 anything under 10 is normal so slightly raised but no worries there yet.
Definite tenderness in the stomach more on the right side so the doc is leaning towards possible beginning of appendicitis. She wants me to take it easy today and eat only light foods then phone her back this afternoon and let her know how I'm getting on. As she said being admitted to hospital on a Friday is not a great idea. So she's hoping that this calms down and doesn't flare up any further but if it did does obviously I'll have to be treated as an emergency.

No hernia? You mentioned a fall. I think sometimes it can also cause back pain.. and then pain in the stomach.

Good thought.. I know my back just above the hip bone is still sore.. If this doesnt clear up I will go back to the doc..
A bit on edge, no more like batty, a good vent might help.
Take some time to relax or refocus that energy into accomplishing something positive! We're also here if you need to vent; could always start a diary if it's more personal issues you want to get off your chest
