Too Good to Last

I was a little too smug the past two days. I really did feel good, so I squeezed a lot in, not knowing how long it would last.

Last night, Crohn's made up for lying low for a bit. It returned with a vengeance in the night.

But I am glad it waited until AFTER I finished planting my vegetables, took an outing with my Sweetie, Dave, assembled a new charcoal broiler and had a family cook-out on our spruced-up-for-Mothers-Day deck. All while the rain stayed away. It was great!

Then came last night, with more time in than out of the bathroom between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Pain. Diarrhea. Blood. Finally, sleep -- a couple of hours each before and after my 6:30 a.m. Sunday meeting.

Today -- simple smoothies and water to drink only for most of the day. A few more episodes in the bathroom, less bleeding than last night. Wearing a loose-fitting dress for comfort today.

Then, normal food for dinner, which hasn't given me trouble so far. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully, this fatigue, which is certainly profound, abates before I need to start work tomorrow. Going to bed early tonight.
