Wishing the best for youWe have been having unseasonable warm weather. A high of 72 deg last weekend. I don't think we are going to get another frost so I went ahead and planted some seeds for Bell peppers, green bean, cilantro and Basil. It's good you have a friend that can help out; gardening can take a lot of work. But hopefully you will feel great this summer and won't need the help :ysmile:
It's sad that some of the healthy higher residue foods give us pain. I would love to eat broccoli and onions again but they hurt way too much. It does help if I cook the crap out of a high fiber food(like make a stew in the crockpot and let it go for 8 hours). I also have found that I can eat lentils if they have been soaked for 24 hours or sprouted. This breaks down some of the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid.
I'm actually surprised at how well I've been doing post surgery(I thought I'd be further behind energy and healing-wise). I have been walking on the treadmill for 1 hr and 40min everyday at 3.5mph. I'm back to work and will start up traveling for my job next week (Wohoo Iowa city!). Getting used to the bag but I had to do 2 bag changes because of leaks yesterday and I can see the skin separating from the stoma. So that has been fun to deal with :voodoo: I have an appointment with the surgeon to do an enema/dye test to make sure there is no leaking at the surgery join. If all looks good then I may get to have the reversal mid May. Little scared about that because I'm hoping that I stay feeling well after all the plumbing is hooked up.
I hope you feel better soon!@#$@%#$%! <-- That is how I'm feeling today. And grumpy over feeling like getting stabbed repeatedly in the bum all day long from things that won't resolve with meds and aren't easily treated.
Nothing is healing like it should. My bones feel like they're on fire. I keep expecting to bounce back in 2-3 weeks following infections or every day illness, but it's not happening. More double the time just to manage everything, then more time for energy to come back. I'm burnt out on the chronic symptoms and just re-injuring joints and waiting for the appointments that actually deal with that to come about.
I hope you feel better soon , JaimeI'll just say ugh
Hi hun. They just started aching a little quite a few years before i knew i had crohns.mainly just my right shoulder. Then the left started. after my dx,my elbows,hips,knees started up. Gradualy getting worse. Most recently my fingers are achy and i drop things alot some days more than others.one or two of my knuckle joints are getting knobbly too now.Mandy i hope he can offer something that can make you feel better , mandy how did your joints start? I have problems holding a cup and my knees when walking makes me sore? I will mention it to my GI on the 13th
Best of luck to you.This evening I have an interview with Camp Oasis for a cabin counselor position. I'm really excited since I was never stable enough to attend as a camper. Even if I don't get it it's nice to finally be getting involved in the local crohn's community!
