This week I wanted to let you know a few things I am doing this week. I am going to see a hand surgeon to figure out what is going on. Plus, to see if I have to have surgery on my left hand to fix the problem. The next one is a big one. I am going down to the Mayo clinic again to get a procedure done. My specialists are down there so sometimes it’s better to do them there then up in st. cloud area. I never enjoy the prep for them, but sometimes you do what you have to. Staying as healthy as you can is important for me. I know others count on me.

When you think about your health it is not just physical, it is your mental health too. I know that is what I have the hardest time with. I try and figure out ways to make it better, but it doesn’t always work. I just have to remember that I need to live my life simply and enjoy each minute I have.

I think of my mom at times, because she had it rough and I know that I have support she didn’t. I miss her everyday. Every morning I thank God for letting me have another day with my family and dogs. I have a lot of people in my life, but I only have a few good friends that I enjoy in my life.

That is all for this week. I have to get ready and it is going to take me this whole week.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC)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.

Every dayEvery day

There always a questions I ask my self each day when I get up. What do I want to do today? The answer is not always the same. I have to think about a few different things before I answer that. I want to make sure I have fun and make sure that I get something done. Plus I want to enjoy what I do, which i know we never think of it more. It hard at times but live to short to be down and not enjoy each moment we have. All the stress and problems in this world should not let us be down. I know that hard, but think about what you have control over and that what we can change and do.

Enjoy each moment and make memories, you never know what the day will bring. Have a little fun in life because you never know what the next day will bring.

Be kind to all, help where you can.
