Bendy & Her Friendies V2 ... This Bar Never Closes! New Thread Started!

[BriarRosie]

OK friendies ... Bendy's asking for some good karma. I felt great yesterday until about 10PM ... let's just say the Crohn goblin has paid me a visit and it's very bad right now - to the point that Jay may have to take me to the ER. I don't want to get into specifics because it's gross but trust me when I tell you there's only one reason I'd go to the ER because of this. If that happens I'm probably looking at a two or three day stay at minimum and I'm really trying to avoid that at all costs.

I wanted to lose more weight but this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

Oh hang in there, Brenda! Feel better soon.

Sending best wishes and hugs, and hoping you're feeling much, much better soon!

Not sure if there has been an update...

Sending lots of prayers, karma, pixie dust and a little bit of fuzzy green lint your way to feel better...

Feel better Bendy!!!

I am hoping thatyou are feeling better this morning, Brenda.

And for the friendies...

 

[whogirl'smom]

Hope everything's okay, Brenda. Getting just a teeny worried. . .

 

[ChelleinNC]

Good morning! Any updates? Hope you're feeling better Brenda

 

[jeminni]

Just read you're not feeling well Brenda. Hope you feel better soon.

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Brenda - I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm really sorry! We are all thinking of you! Please update us or have Jay update us when you can.

 

[Briarmom]

Uh oh. Still no word from Bendy?

 

[oybolshoi]

hey everyone ... thanks for the good wishes and hugs. I'm still at home but, pardon the expression, really feel like crap.

I opted not to go the ER yesterday because I decided I'd be more comfortable in my own house ... I'll probably call my doctor's exchange today and find out what he wants me to do and go from there.

On a side note ... I'm dying for some coffee. When this stuff flares I'm supposed to stay away from caffeine because it aggravates the inflammation but now I've got one of those java-withdrawl headaches.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Brenda, Hope you start feeling better soon...and can have some coffee! Hopefully the dr. will have some ideas to get you feeling less crappy.

My son starts school tomorrow so hopefully I will have time to check in more once we are on a better schedule.

ugh, I couldn't live without my coffee! Could you do 1/2 caf, to help your head but not tick off the crohn goblin?

take it easy and hope you feel better soon!

 

[PNO4TE]

Brenda - good luck today. I am sorry you feel like crap!

 

[robinm1215]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Brenda. Hope you're feeling better soon

 

[TigerKat]

Brenda - Hope your Dr. has some ideas to help you start feeling better soon.

pretty much told to keep doing what I've been doing, especially since the most alarming symptom from yesterday seems to have gone away. So, liquid diet and soft food until I feel like I can push back on the goblin ... stop taking the naproxen and advil - the thing that sucks about that is that Crohns causes joint problems (like arthritis, which I have in hands and hips) and tylenol just doesn't work as well for the discomfort but it's either that or risk more bleeding and ulceration ... get plenty of rest ... blah blah blah.

I did take Chelle's advice and have been slowly drinking half-coffee half-skim milk and that seems to be helping the headache.

I guess I'll just have to dial back the food intake for the next couple of weeks ... if there's a good thing in all of this it's that it happened over a 3-day weekend and a good month before vacation. As long as it doesn't get worse I should be back to my normal gluttony self by October.

I've actually been pretty lucky all things considered ... I had a really long remission period until this popped on Satuday. Just time to be a little more careful ... I have a feeling there is another colonoscopy in my not-to-distant future. Oh well, the test is a breeze and my doctor uses great drugs!

Thanks again for the good vibes ...

 

[ChelleinNC]

Glad to hear you're on the mend

 

[Shenanigoat]

Brenda I hope your headache goes away. Glad your health issues weren't severe enough for the ER and I know you'll be on the mend soon. We shall call you Mendy Bendy!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Glad you've been able to stay at home, Brenda, I hope you keep feeling better! I guess it's not a good time to tell you that it's free chicken sandwich day at Chik-Fil-A.
