Distracted

Climbed by year and month

I had this great idea... No really.

Like all New Year resolutions it disappeared in a cloud of well meaning fluff. My excuse is that I've been distracted. Well, it started before Christmass and before I started to write in this blog, but more stuff happened and good ideas fell by the wayside - I've been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

If you've had the fortune not to have experience of this disease, you may, like I did, think this was just a bit of discomfort and 'the runs'. It aint. There are three varieties of Crohn's: inflammatory, stricturing (bungs up your guts), and my favourite: penetrating, which decides it wants to go see other bits of you so it makes a hole, or fistula. That's the one I've got. So next week's fun is an operation to investigate my bottom whilst I'm under a General. Oh boy, can't wait. Not.

Meanwhile I'm on an Elemental diet drink, which is best described as 'Orange and Pineapple flavour sugary puke'. Interestingly, well I suppose it might be interesting to some people, it tends to make your poo go green. Lovely! And I'm on it for two weeks, or more perhaps, until my inflammed colon is a bit happier and not getting me up in the night/etc.

More oversharing will no doubt appear later.
