Would you cheer up already!!!!

I need to vent so I won't take it out on my family even though I probably should then they'd leave me the hell alone. Superbowl Sunday! A fun time for those who can eat what they want and drink what they want! Fun for those pain free and full of energy to jump up and down and yell at the television cheering their team to victory! Then there's me....sober, hurting, fatiged, aggravated me!!! Then you get everyone saying things like...."cheer up already!" "what's wrong with you?" "you aren't gonna try the guacamole?" I wanna say..."HELLO PEOPLE! ARE Y'ALL NEW?" Do they forget that I have IBD? Do they forget that I CAN'T eat most foods, the foods they all love and enjoy during get togethers. I brought my own drink, sugar free koolaid. Everyone else is drinking beer and wine and crown.....I choose not to drink, yes but it's hard sometimes. One person I am so grateful for is my AWESOME husband who supports me and is there for me. He too won't drink or even try the guacamole because I can't. He is a miracle in the middle of my chaotic life and for him I am truly grateful. Wow!! I feel better just having written this down. I'm gonna go hug my amazing husband.

Yea it's tough. I've got a colonoscopy on the mainland on Tuesday and my very good friend is travelling over with me tomorrow. She knows were going tomorrow so I can take the prep when we get there ready for Tues.
Anyway, I saw her today and she was saying so we can go for lunch here and go shopping there and and .....
I was trying without being too graphic to tell her about the effects of the Picolax, but she just said I'd be OK cos there's toilets in the shopping centres.

Sorry, Helen, but that's one of the funniest things that I've heard for a very long time. :rof:

You have my deepest sympathy and I hope everything goes well, a smooth journey
and hopefully a straight forward course from the prep to the colonoscopy.
What you have written is quite hilarious and hopefully in time your dear friend will realise her faux pas.Thank you for sharing.
Hugs and best wishes
