It's all about Me

Happy Birthday to me!  Living with this crap for 21 years now, when will it ever end, or will it?

coughing

I hate getting a cold, especially the coughing.  Wreaks havoc on my insides.  After hours of coughing it feels like I've been punched in the stomach over and over.  Need to relax.....hmmm, two kids and a house to paint, maybe not.

Family

Sometimes, and some days, I feel like just giving up.  Giving in.  It wins.  But then I think about the great wife and kids I have and I can't let them down.  I feel bad I can't do the things a regular dad/husband would and can do and I hope one day they would be able to understand.  So it's days like this I need a stiff drink I think

Diet

If I could bottle Crohns, as a diet cure all, I'd be rich.  Everyone would be sick, but I'd be rich

water, water, everywhere

Crohns and dehydration definately go together.  That is, of course, you don't drink enough water.  I thought I was, apparently I wasn't.  Today, now I know what a 170lb water bottle feels like.  Sloshing around the house and having to lay down every 5 minutes from exhaustion.  Walking up and down stairs?  Yeah, right.  By the time I get to the top, I might as well just lay on the floor to catch my breath.  It's now later in the day and I feel a little better, so I guess it's an early night to bed....oh wait!  But it's playoff hocky time, hmmmm, what to do.
