Happy Belated Birthday America! I have had a happy couple of days. I went for a 12 mile bike ride with my son, went to the town pool and had friends and their sons over for dinner. These are the things I appreciate. I guess the simple things.
I was diagnosed in1985. I was sick and ended up hospitalized for a week. They actually discharged me without a diagnosis. I remember sitting on my living room couch hysterically crying because I had undergone so many tests, embarrassing tests, and nothing, no answers. I remember my first colonoscopy. I actually wore my underwear to the procedure I had no idea what was to happen and then as they wheeled me in the room and realized I still had them on, I was told to take them off. Of course I needed a bit of help. So embarrassed!!! Oh then the most uncomfortable and yet another embarrassing test- The lovely Barium Enema. I recall, " hold it, just hold it..." trying to figure out why everything comes out of me,now they are forcing liquid in me and I have to "hold it" Awful!
As July5th comes to an end, I am thankful for what I have. Even Though my stomach has been acting up the past 2 days and my lips are huge, swollen, chapped and itchy (I am thinking it is a side effect from Humira) I definitely have more positives than negatives. Health & Happiness!
