Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

I wanted to talk about Ulcerative Colitis a little because I know there are a lot of people who have. I am one of those people too. I have good days with it and bad. There are different types from mild to severe. When you have a bad day or week it takes you out . I know that the type of treatment I get is infusions and they help. I know I still have a day or two to feel back to myself again. But if you have not heard of it or know someone that deals with it, let me tell you some of the symptoms we have to deal with most of the time.

Symptoms of Colitis could be any of the following: Pain in the abdomen, joints or rectum, along with bloating, blood in your stools, diarrhea. There are more things we deal with anemia, fatigue, fever or loss of appetite, cramping , weight loss. It can drain you for a day or longer. The treatments do help but still have those bad days.

I have UC for over 18 years and I never have the same day. I know others that deal with it and are doing great. I wanted to let you know this because sometimes this is something that keeps me from making my post each week.

Thanks for listening to me and I hope it makes it easier to understand that you don’t know what someone is going through unless you ask.

Comfort TimeComfort Time

As I reflect on this past week I came up with a few things that I need to do. The first thing I realized is I need to take some time for myself to enjoy my life. It doesn’t matter what it is, because it is about recharging. I know that I don’t plan to go far ahead because that is not a promise to me. I am just thankful for each day I get up and get to have another day with the ones I love.

I try to make it and enjoy life, save money and hang out with the ones that support me. I know without them life would be hard each day. I am glad to everyone that has followed me on this journey because this year has been a tough one. I have had ups and downs to get thru, which I have those who have come into my life to help me.

Sometimes I go back to what is comfortable to me, which is not what we need to do. We all need to get up and try something new. Just think about things you have always wanted to do but have been too scared to do. Sometimes people make a bucket list to see what they can do. All you need to do is thank God for that day and make some plans.
Text a friend you have not talked to in a while. Find a place that you have not gone but always wanted to. Have a date night with some girlfriends or husband, boyfriend or your better half. Everyone has something or somewhere they have always wanted to do. It is never too late.

Thank you again for this.

We still have another one, his name is Garfunkal and he is a sweet boy He will be at the open street event August 5th. Garfunkel will be there from 11-2 come out and see him you will see how sweet he is.

Plus we are hard at work trying t get ready for next week craft shows. So we are baking like crazy. Dog treats are so different then making human treats. I enjoy baking either one. I will post later this week more detail about the sale.

Getting bac on track with family is hard to do. I have tried to reach out and sometime it hard when they don’t respond to you, you start to think “did I do something wrong”, “why are they not talking to me” I know that go thru my head. what help me is my boys, because no matter what they are love me no matter what.

Well I let yuo know how the event go and keep up with life, there is a lot of living to do out there.

Goodbye and DepressionGoodbye and Depression

This last week we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Dubnyk and it was the hardest one yet. it has put me into depression and I am not sure how to get out. I know that others tell me that we just need time to adjust but it is not the same here any more. I miss him so much and I know my daughter does too.

I know that I can sleep or eat much and my other dogs feel it too. I know time is going to change but right now we are trying to work through it. I know he would have wanted us to be happy and know that he is in not more pain and running free.

I know that all I have for now it is just been adjustment and we are trying. One day we will see him again and it will be like we never missed a bear.

Thank you and just remember to love your pet because we never get enough time time with them.
