Doctors

Today I woke up in a lot of pain. For those of you who have been following my blog know I have Crohn's Disease. With any chronic illness you never know when you are going to have a bad day. Unfortunately enough, today was one of those days. I woke up with a searing pain in my lower abdomen. Yuck! So I called the doctor's office first thing this morning to schedule an appointment and found out that my doctor only sees patients on Mondays from 8 to 12. Ridiculous! So now I am sitting by my phone waiting for the nurse to call me back to see if he can squeeze me into the very small time block. Uh! I will keep everyone updated on what goes on.

P.S. If you are interested in learning more about Crohn's Disease please visit www.ccfa.org. It is the address to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation website. It is a great resource for people who have just been diagnosed or know someone who has the condition.

  2. Hope you get to feeling better, and are able to get into the doc.

    I just found out that I am spending all day tomorrow and part of today at Texas Children's with Emmi. She hasn't been eating (part of her metabolic disorder) so she needs levels checked. And now she is having problems with her implant. Obviously, I don't deal first hand with a chronic illness, but I get a pretty good secondhand look with Emmi. So I know how it feels to never know when it will hit you. I feel like even on good days, I am holding my breath and never really relaxed.
