Moans and Crohn's

Aug 18, 2011 00:22

Well, well, well. I appear to be writing something on LJ after a gap of many months (Sep 2010, I think, was the last time).

I returned to the UK and work after my luvverly career break (Oct 2009 - Sept 2010), which was spent here and over in Spain with mah hunneh in more or less equal proportions (Read more... )

Welcome back.
What a time you've had. I shall not moan about my IBS and I very much hope that you'll be feeling and getting better soon.
Hugs

Penny, moan about your IBS as much as you like, m'dear. I understand entirely. It limits your life and your fun, and has no flamin' rhyme nor reason, as far as anyone can work out. Crohn's just has the capacity to f*ck your life up just that bit more - for some but not for others. Some people go into remission for years, some end up having various bits of innards removed over time. I just hope I fall (eventually) into the first category!

Dear God, Sarah - I had *no idea* you were as ill as this. What a nightmare, and Floren has been a rock.

Let us hope they get a drug regime that works sorted out soon. xxx

Well, until it was properly diagnosed I really was never entirely sure what I was up against, and Facebook wasn't really the appropriate vehicle for explanations and my general whinges and mutterings. I try to keep on keeping on, but I do get quite depressed from time to time, simply because I have currently lost the ability to do so many of life's little normal things like nipping (or popping) to the shops, sitting on any seat in the flat, relying on a fart to be a fart, getting dressed quickly etc ( ... )

I was thinking about you only yesterday and wondering how things were with you.

Sorry to hear you've been so ill.

What a lovely man you have.

He's a star! (See my comment to Mac, above.)
I'm on Facebook under Sarah Mooring if you're on there and would like to add me. xx

Ack!

So sorry you've been suffering and not getting seen properly at the hospital. I had a suspicion things were bad from your comments on FB but 'could have died' is scary to read.

I hope you're on the upswing now and things improve.

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, for Floren.

I really was in a bad way at the time, and wouldn't have been able to raise the alarm - though I suppose that if Floren wasn't living with me I'd have had some sort of arrangement with a neighbour or my mate Jan, to check in with her once a day.
As it was, it took Floren and his daughter (here for a week's hol and shopping), to manhandle me off the floor and onto the bed enough to be able to sit down.
I've dispatched him off to Tom's birthday party this evening, as I didn't feel up to it. He said he'd probably be back soon, when he left at 6.30pm, so I'm taking it as a good sign that it's gone 10pm and he's still out. His English is coming along, and he knows all the people who'll be there, so I suspect he's not coping too badly. Plus Tom always does good eats. I think the theme was to be Greek food tonight...
Sorry for the late response - LJ didn't tell me that you'd commented!
