I have had a couple requests asking about my health. So in the interest of full disclosure, that and I have nothing else at the moment, let me tell you.

I feel like crap!

Seriously, still nauseous all the time, still in pain a lot of the time. That other symptom that I don’t like to talk about, yeah that’s still there too, maybe even a bit worse than before.

Other than that, everything is great. Well, except for the fact that I still am unable to work so I am bringing in no income. Thank God Becky has a job, other wise things would be much worse.

Am I stressed? You bet!

Have I turned the worry over to God? Most of it, I am having trouble letting go of some of it!

Will things get better? Health wise, I have no idea. In all other areas, that is up to God. I am certain that He will make things better in His time, if that is His will. Till that time, I will wait as patiently as I can!

I have not been at work at all this week. Instead I have spent the majority of the time either in bed or wishing I was in bed. At the moment I cannot stand for more than 15 minutes before the nausea becomes overwhelming. So here is the symptom count at the moment:

• Abdominal pain
• nausea
• exhaustion
• dia*****

No it is not very pleasant. On the plus side, in a major coup, I was able to secure an emergency consult with the best Doctor in the state when it comes to Chrones. She agreed to see me this coming Monday. I couldn’t even get in to see my regular gastro until the end of August.

I did manage to see a nurse practitioner yesterday that was able to prescribe something for the nausea and pain. The medicines do work somewhat, I still get nauseous after standing for a bit but it is now as overwhelming and it goes away if I sit for a few minutes. Unfortunate side effects of the meds= even more exhausted than I was, but I will take it over the other problems any day.

I am hoping to resume a regular posting schedule here soon and post something that isn’t whining about my illness!

God bless,

I remember before I bought my new home how I was always complaining that we never did anything. We always stayed at home and just sat there. Since we have been in our new home I can’t seem to get a weekend where I am actually at home! I’m never there, I have all this cool stuff and no time to play with it. I haven’t figured out the reason why this happened but I am working on it.

I have some nasty little sinus infection. It has been making my life hell since Sunday evening. Today it is the worst that it has been so far. I hope that this is the worst that it gets. I don’t think I could take much more. I am going to stay home and get some bed rest! Work will have to live without me. I don’t think they would want me there anyway as I am constantly nauseous and lightheaded.

I have been trying to surf the interweb today and have noticed something very distressing. It seems that no one else is posting anything of use either. Oh well, at least I am in good company!
