Hello to all the Wonderful People who are better than any physical condition that they deal with.
Skyrizzi is the best drug I've been on. I have had no flares for nearly a year for the first time since diagnosed 6 years. 372 days in the hospital since, is enough. And I went through losing my father and also I had the opportunity take care of him the last 3 painful months. It was a privilege that I am proud to have been there for him, giving just a small percentage of what he gave me.
Since I developed Crohn's, my brother died of a heart attack, my sister from Cancer, and my mom, before I got Crohn's, from Alzheimer's. I am the only immediate family member left. I know my family wants me to to be the best and healthiest personI I can be, so that is what I try to focus on.
Interesting, I ended up on the hospital for four days, when my dad was also in the same hospital. With the extreme stress I was under, my body reacted and swole like a Crohn's attack, but it was just stress, A Pavlovian response.
I was able to be home when it really mattered. I got all my vaccines, but still got COVIC in my sinuses at the end of last August. I feel lucky I goT ahold of it before it attacked my lungs. Today I found out from my family doctor's office that recovery can take 3 - 6 months. I bought a Navage sinus flusher, but still a little gun shy to use it. although approved by my doctor.
Since COVID, I have really been dragging trying to get back to better health. I couldn't even walk around my block as I have done the last few years. only making it half way before I turned around, which confused my dog. Last night I made it all round the block and with shopping walked 5127 steps, 2.2 miles. Today I am wiped and feeling blue.
Thankfully,I got to watch the last half of the movie, Forest Gump, which reminded me to keep living and keep moving forward. It seem silly, but not that I stayed up 2 hours late to watch the movie and write this entry. I know the movie took a lot of liberties with the history of the 40 or years of his life, but worked, amazing movie. Thank you Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast. Good night.
