Wherever I Am, There My Colon Is

Entry Fifteen: Tuesday
“Good days and some bad days”… today is a bad day. I hereby give myself permission to not feel guilty about saying it’s a bad day. There is a scripture where Paul is saying, “whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, of a good report, etc., think on these [...]

Circumstances Beyond My Colon

Entry Fifteen: Sunday
“Living with ulcerative colitis (UC) is not easy. You will have good days and bad days. Although it may not be easy, it is important to try to control your stress whenever possible and maintain a positive outlook”. From Living With UC Website “Managing Stress With Ulcerative Colitis”.
This has definitely been [...]

"She’s A Little Strange You Know…"

Entry Thirteen: Friday Had to post this. At times over the course of my life, I’ve been told by well meaning friends and relatives, that my illness is all in my mind, I’m stressing over nothing, I’m strange because I stay to myself, I use sickness as an excuse to stay home… and these [...]

You Go How Many Times A Day?

Entry Twelve: Thursday Only missed a day this time… not bad. Wednesday started out with the usual scrambled egg. My appetite doesn’t seem to be picking up @ all. I haven’t felt like myself in so long, I’m not sure what “I” feel like. I’m taking my medications and I’m still [...]

Entry Ten: Saturday Let me get straight to the business at hand. I said I wasn’t good at keeping a record of what I eat! That’s why there’s this big gaping whole in between the last post and this one! My other theory is that I passed out for a [...]

The People Lining My Colon!

Entry Nine: Sunday It’s now 5am on Monday morning and as often occurs, I can’t sleep. If you’ve been paying attention to the times I’ve posted, you’ve figured out I’m somewhat an insomniac also, so I’m blogging again. First order of business, food. I had a light breakfast which actually was [...]

Working and Breakdancing

Entry Eight: Saturday The show with Sy Smith and Michelle N’Degeocello was a big success… a sell out night at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica. The place was packed tight with music lovers and fans of both artist. It was also a great kick off night for the release of [...]

Finally, A Good Day

Entry Seven: Wednesday Overall today was good. I didn’t eat much at all today because I’m still not feeling hungry. I had half a turkey sandwich and forgot that was all I’d eaten till around 7pm. That’s when hunger appeared and I didn’t want to wait for a meal to be [...]

A Compromised Quality Of Life

Entry Six: Tuesday I’m gonna keep this one short because I’m tired, and I’m tired of being behind on the dates. I was hoping my apetite would be a little better today but the usual body aches when I wake up and nausea made me not want to eat anything. [...]
