2012....Same as 2011

So it looks as though 2012 will start the same as 2011 did.....sore.  I developed a nice little abcess over night on the 30th, so needless to say, I didn't sleep that night.  Uncomfortable.  The whole day on the 31st sucked.  When I should be celebrating with family for New Years, I spent the day in bed trying to rest, and switched to a liquid diet to try and help.  Missed out on Chinese food.

On the plus side, it seems to have worked.  I woke this morning with it having "burst".  But HOLY CRAP!! it's sore!

How does the saying go?  As much as things change, they seem to stay the same.

Happy New Year!

I wanted to take the time to wish all my friends, family and all that visit my blog from around the world, a very happy and healthy new year!!!!
All the best for 2012!!!
And thanks to all for their help, support and encouragement the past year (and all the years prior)

CHEERS!!

Ache or Not to Ache....That Is the Question

One of the problems I've discovered over the years, is when I start to feel achey all over.  And I mean all over....like I just ran a marathon or spent the night lifting weights. 
So the question arises....am I feeling achey because I'm sick, or am I feeling achey because I'm feeling better?
Doesn't make sense?  Let me explain.  When I'm not feeling very good, I feel achey because of the obvious....I'm sick. 
BUT, when I start feeling better I also get achey because the proper nutrients are getting to my muscles etc.  and they're saying "HEY!!  what's all this stuff?  GOOD stuff!! yay!!  'Bout friggin time dude!!"
I guess time will tell.  The only good news is that my weight seems to have halted at around 140lbs and hasn't dropped.  And the Imuran seems to be working too. 

Could it be.  Is it possible.  I'm on the right track for a change.........

Crohn's Advent Calendar Day 25

December 25th....opening the last toilet seat door this morning to find.......

it empty.

At this point in the calendar, this door was going to find what every Crohnie wants.....a cure.
But, as this hasn't happened, yet, this one will remain blank.  One day, eh?!

On a personal note, I've enjoyed this past 25 days doing this calendar.  Coming up with items was sometimes hard, sometimes very easy, but fun at the same time.  I would like to thank everyone for their emails, comments and remarks.  It's nice to see all the people from around the world coming on here to see what's been going on and enjoying the calendar.

Merry Christmas everyone!!  And all the best for a happy and healthy 2012!!
