...Uh Crohn's disease?


So.. came back from an appointment with a specialist, and the latest is ....(drum roll) Crohn's disease likely and colonoscopy a guarantee.

Uh, when it rains it pours? Eh, I got nothing. At first I was crying and feeling oh so sorry for myself. Woe is me. . . but after talking to B I felt much better. Things suck, true but I can't change that immediately. I can get on the road to recovery, though I thought I already was. . . Hmm guess I'm driving a hummer down this road, there are some big 'ol speed bumps.

Here is quote that I really like, and it fits:


“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.” -Walter Anderson
