I'm trying my best to get back to my ordinary life, but sometimes my stupid stomach and leg hold me back. This weekend I was able to go out with my friends, some of my favorite people in the world. Shannon and I got spent the whole weekend together along with Tom and his friends. I have known those guys for a few years now and they always put a huge smile on my face just because they are guys guys who enjoy hanging out with one another, drinking beers and talking about sports.
This weekend was exactly what I needed to get my mind off the fact that my stomach is taking longer to get better then I expected. Last time I ended up in the hospital with a flare, I was already back to eating regular food, especially with the amount of steroids I'm on. And now I just feel like my stomach is taking five years to bounce back and I don't have the patience to wait for it to be better.
That's not to say I haven't been able to enjoy my food. Unfortunately, sometimes, my stomach just hurts a lot after I eat. Whatever, I make sure to enjoy eating and just deal with whatever pain may come after the fact. I mean when one goes up to the casino, how does one simply ignore Margaritaville nachos. Spoiler alert: They don't.
Today is a stay in bed type of day because my leg has been hurting me a little bit. Natasha and Boris are mad at me from all the fun I have been having. The leg hasn't swollen at all, but the pain which had all but disappeared is there a bit right now. As I am typing, I have my legs elevating on a folded over pillow.
Story of my life.
And sometimes, I wouldn't have it any other way.
