I could have sworn I made an entry letting you all know how my look-see went….but alas it seems I didn’t. I wasn’t myself for a few days after it, so I could have just thought I did but didn’t. The look-see was awful. They took a couple of huge chunks out of my colon, I bled for a couple hours like a sacrificial lamb and Mike and the doctor had it out. It was a little embarrassing but the man was giving me drugs and I had no idea what they were for and was conveniently absent to explain it all. I also wanted to stay away from steroids but I was prescribed some fairly awful ones. You know, the kind you have to put up your bum. Not exactly my idea of a good time. The Ass-man then explained that my colon is “severely” swollen and that if I don’t take steroids to bring it down then they’ll just have to go in and cut it out. “Um….what?” So I’m sticking steroids up my ass. Did I mention steroids make me balloon up? I had to take them when I was a kid once. I don’t really remember why, but I do remember my face mooning up. Well my face isn’t mooning up, oh no…my entire torso is a giant moon. Nothing fits. And you know what? My face is still getting a little on the swollen side. I look like I gained 30lbs in the last week. Did I mention that nothing fits? Meh…. I’m feeling good though. Instead of going to the bathroom 18 to 20 times a day I’m only going about 3. Yay!!! I’m eating my favorite things like oatmeal and brown rice again. I don’t have to fill myself up on cheese to feel satisfied which I know will do wonders for my cholesterol. I’m sure it’s the steroids and as soon as I’m off of them we’ll see how things are. I have about 8 more applications left and then I’m done. I’m also on this new drug that is a lot stronger then my last one so we’ll see. Maybe I am on the road to remission again. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.
