Good morning.
I should start by saying this is NOT a 'pitty party' nor meant to be a sad post. I'm merely dropping by to put my last 12 years, and certainly the past 'year from hell' to bed.
The past year has been hard, from memory- 12 hospital admissions, 5 day unit admissions,1 resection, 1 perforated stomach ulcer, 5 colonoscopies, 3 flexi sig's, 3 upper scopes, 2 CT scan's, 2 MRI's, 1 WBC scan, 1 ultrasound, endless x ray's (I glow in the dark). I have failed on numerous meds- or more so, they failed me. I have spents 3 weeks on a ward following a Ciclosporin overdose, and it wasn't deliberate.
Harder than any of that- my fiance of 8 years, decided that he'd had enough last summer and left. I wish it was that easy for us, that we could get rid of this darn disease just as simply.
My journey's been an extreme of high's and low's. It's been hard, but thousands of others out there have it and have had it far bloody harder.
There- time to draw a line under all of this and head to the hospital, and start on the road to a better life..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for the support and compassion shown to me since joining here. I have made new friends, and some of you are right up there with the best!
This colon's hours are numbered (3 1/2!!)
There is now light at the end of my dark tunnel- I shall see you all on the 'sunny' side soon.
Be safe, keep well
