Crohn's Disease

Wednesday, August 4

Hello. I am writing because I was diagnosed with severe chronic disease about 4 years ago and have had numerous surgeries and complications. I know this a is a serious disease but the way I like to talk and explain it is though a humorous point of view. So I hope that I do not offend anyone out there but maybe help someone instead, to let them know that they are not the only one who have had to "throw" their dignity out the window and you know what I mean.

It all stared din July 2001 when I had real bad pain in my side...Me thinking it was my appendix did not do anything right away. Went to the hospital and they asked me how long I had Chron's I simply stated for about 5 minutes now, turns out I had a severely large abcess my intestines that had to be removed immediately. WOW my very first surgery. Not happy at all. I can't wait to fill you in on all of the joy rides to the Colon Rectal specialist and such and the scopes, but I just wanted to get a short entry in so you know what to expect.

More later
