We had a good Thanksgiving. This is the first year (in 15+ years) that I managed to get all the food done at the same time. Usually it's at least an hour apart. It never happens. So I was quite pleased with myself. And lunch was GOOD! I couldn't believe what a good job I did. And, yes, I am tooting my own horn.
I've been doing the 30 days of thanks on FB, and I think it's given me a more positive outlook on life this month. Each day I've had to come up with something that I'm thankful for, and doing that has made me look at the positive each day. It's hard to stay in the negative when you're forced to be positive.
Matthew is obsessed with putting things in his mouth, nose, and ears. I'm waiting for him to choke or get something stuck. It's not going to be pretty.
Speaking of Matthew, we have an appointment for the ENT specialist. He's been on meds for an ear infection for about 10 days now (I believe today will be his last dose), and I took him into the doctor a few days ago because he was still tugging at his ears and his nose is still runny and crusty. His ears were still fluid filled, but no infection. I asked about tubes anyway, because he's had infections and colds since early last spring, and she said it would be worth it to meet with ENT because she thinks his adnoids might be a problem. I told her I was thinking about getting him tested for allergies, and she said his adnoids could be the reason his nose is constantly running, and the ENT can give us more information. So, we'll see. We have the appointment on Tuesday. If we're going to do anything, I'd like to get it done before year's end, because we've already reached our maximum out-of-pocket.
I've been trying to figure out which foods I should remain abstinent from, and I've concluded that I really need to just stop eating when full. It's been really hard for me, especially yesterday. I couldn't stop myself from eating. I know I should have texted somebody from OA or gone on the FB page, but instead I just kept stuffing my mouth. If I'm serious about this, I need to take advantage of the tools given to me for help.
