Welcome 2011

Well, I rang in the new year with gusto this time.  I got some sort of virus or bacterial infection just before new years and ended up in hospital because I couldn't stop going to the bathroom.  Every hour, sometimes twice an hour.  So, of course, I ended up getting dehydrated.  It took 10 in hospital to recover enough to come home.  I'm fine now, but what's really weird is I can't stop eating!!  I'm hungry all the time!!  I've switched to brewed coffee (tastes better anyway), my daily bathroom visits have reduced (yay) and I have energy!  Energy!??  I had almost forgot what that was, for gods sake.  I don't know why.....maybe something in hospital after all the antibiotics they gave me or what....don't know.  Whatever happened, it's working.


But, being who I am.......and how I look at things........I'm thinking, yeeeeeah, how long til I'm sick again?  Hmmmm

Coffee

I've discovered over the past few months that I can actually drink coffee.  But, having said that, I cannot drink instant coffee, but I CAN drink brewed coffee.  Weird I thought, but I guess they put ALOT of crap in instant coffee.  So, I guess I have to go to Tim Horton's more often....oh well....in pursuit of science and for answers, I need to do more research.

@%$#!

Sometimes I wish that Crohns had a schedule.  Because just when things are good or things are coming up.....oh, like Christmas for example, Chrons rears it's $#@! head!!  The bad intra muscular abcess I had last year, roughly at this time, appears to be reforming...$#@!!!!!!   %$##@! @$#!  Can you tell I'm a little pissed.

Been awhile.....

....but it's been busy around the house with Christmas coming.  Kids are excited, they've seen Santa and the Santa Claus parade, helped with baking the goodies, and can't wait til the big day.  Me?  Same ole, same ole.  Worrying about my health this time of year because I usually get sicker now, but nothing yet....knock on wood.  So, I managed to find time to get a painting in......Liquid Sunshine.

happy new year?

More surgery in the new year.....goodie!

Rememberance

To those who serve and have served............

Thank you

Ultrasound

Had an ultrasound done at the hospital and it turns out I have acummulated fluid in a place that there shouldn't be.  I need to see my doctor on wednesday, probably to be refered to another doctor, but hopefully I can get it drained......let's hope.

Oh crap

Ended up in Emerg this morning.  The only good thing is that I was home the same day.  Let's just say, I have fluid where there shouldn't be any and it's a little painful.  But mostly?  It's annoying!  I have to get an ultrasound and go from there....so, I painted.



Been a little while

Haven't been well, and haven't felt like painting, but



eBay

Took all my paintings off eBay.  But I will be putting them back.  I need to master a new program to help me resize their digital pictures so I can stretch them onto canvas.  But my abcess is back....woohoo!
