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.

ChoicesChoices

We all have choices in life, some are hard to make. I know that some are stressful and you have to try and make the right choice. You want to make the right one for everyone, but you have to remember you can’t make everyone happy. The one thing you have to think of is what makes you happy. Life is hard enough. I know that holidays are the hardest time for me. I think of my choices during this time of year. What makes me happy.

My daughter and I make the choice to give back. I think that is what makes me happy this time of year. We find families that just need a little more help. When you give back it is a choice you make. Not everyone does it, but when you see the family so happy it’s all worth it. We also have a friend that makes things that mean more than what you can buy in a store.

I just want to say that I am sorry I have not posted in a while, but I have some medical issues I needed to take care of. I will explain that in another post. I can only do this if I take care of myself.

Thank you for taken the time to read this and I will continue to post.

SavingSaving

This year has gone by and so much has changed in my life. I know that I am working on be debt free and saving money. I know they have a few ways you can save and budget. I am doing a lot of different things and I would like to share them with you.

First one is I have a auto amount directly into my savings account.

I also do surveys and play games that get me gift cards that I can use instead of money.

Plus I have been working on decluttering my house and selling things. I know one day I will get there just by taking time.

I also am starting to use those saving books where you put cash in a book and mark it off.

It has been a rough few weeks losing my sweet boy, which makes me want to do more in life. His life was cut short and I am going to do what I can for him. Everyone says you need time, but no amount of time will bring him back. I know that he is watching over us and I want to make him know that he is missed and very loved.

So hopeful by the end of the year I will be closer to my savings goal.
