Am I still a fighter?

This f*cking monkey doesn’t know the half of it

Appropriate, although slightly disturbing, this monkey is found at my gastroenterologist’s office. Let’s just say it’s been a rough few weeks for us both. As I’ve mentioned here before, I have Crohn’s disease — and lately, Crohn’s disease has had me. It’s had me incredibly sick, overwhelmingly sad and completely unmotivated on most days — just mad as hell on others. I try not to feel sorry for myself, because so many people in this world have things much worse, but I am so F*CKING over planning my life around the bathroom.

The interesting side of this flare-up is that I’ve never had so many conversations with God. I’ve promised some crazy stuff at 3 a.m., like not complaining about weight issues any more, just to feel normal again. I also started taking steroids (which proves I give up on being a skinny minnie) and getting intravenous injections that put me flat out for days at a time.

So that is why I haven’t been blogging much. Not that WTF? Wednesdays are the most uplifting posts, but they are better than sad posts about Crohn’s disease, right?

I will be back on Wednesday with a post — and there are some great things going on in my life despite this disease (Anabella just turned 5! I got some “press” today for my social media efforts! See … it’s not all crap! — pun intended!)

    So sorry to hear that, my wife went through seven kinds of hell before she eventually had surgery. Which changed her life. She is running marathons again and will hopefully qualify for Boston in October.

  2. Bert – SO happy to hear your wife is doing well and LIVING a good life. That gives me hope. And tell her good luck in Boston. I’m impressed!

    Cocotte – I am praying for the upswing. Thanks for the kind words!

  3. Good day, i have just added this specific document on my twitter account and received a good deal of optimistic replies! I think you are really doing a wonderful job with your site. I have one particular question though, this is a blogengine weblog correct?
