Please bear with me...my absence is not typical, I know. For over a week now I have been having epic tummy symptoms and have been trying desperately to keep it at bay. The fevers, debilitating fatigue, joint pain, insane sweating (yes, its a Crohns flare symptom) the capricious potty time. I have taken my stethoscope and checked my tummy for bowel sounds about 100 times in the last 24 hours, because as they decrease, my troubles increase. Its hard to explain to someone how much you FEEL like death when you dont LOOK like death. Today I drank only kale juice, while with tremendous effort, baked a dessert for tonight. I couldnt have moved slower today if I was cryogenically preserved. Tonight I will put my game face on and go to Kylies sailing awards ceremonies. I will stand, cheer, smile and socialize while my eyes burn, the sweat rolls down my back, my intestines try to escape my body and my inner voice screams at me to go lie down and cry somewhere. I will do this because Im a mommy. This is how we do, this is how we roll. And I promise you all this. I am more sick of writing about my Crohns than you are of reading about it.
