Wish this would stop...
So we invited a few people here today to watch the super bowl and whatnot. Well guess who's intestines decide to act up? Yeap I kept running back and forth to the toilet. I said "Excuse Me" alot tonight. My stomach still feels funny. I am supposed to pick up my brother;s fiance tomorrow morning so that she can come over here and wash clothes, hopefully I will be feeling better. Last Monday I had to call and tell her I couldn't leave the bathroom so I would not be picking her up that day (They live in an apartment and are w/o a washer and dryer so since they are just down the road from us they come to do their clothes as our house) Anyway I heard somewhere that there is a 3-7% chance of Inflammatory Bowel Disease being passed to your offspring. It depresses me. Neither of my parents have this disease, and I end up with it so what are the chances that either of my four children will have this? Yes the guilt is there. Sometimes I think that if I knew way back when before I had children that I would have mental issues and an intestinal disease, I don't know if I would have had children..........As much as I love them, I would hate to pass on anything to them. It sucks and I don't want them to go through what I have gone through. I guess all I can do is be there for them if something should come of this.....
I have been having some serious left hip pain, feels like in the joint area and it radiates down my leg. I don't know what is up with that, it could have something to do with UC or not. I may have to make a trip to the doctor.........Again. Anyway later yall, will be resting tomorrow so that I can hopefully feel pretty good for Tuesday's Mardi Gras festivities. Bye yall :P

Hi, Leslie. You seem like such a wonderful mother, and everyone passes on a few things...I'm sure the good things you pass on will outweigh any possible bad things. Hope you are feeling better! Love, Jenny

Hi, I was actually just searching diaries or blogs about ulcerative colitus. I'm only 19, and was diagnoised at 8...I've been in the hospital 3 severe times. I just moved from NY to Chicago for college. It's hard and i was doing fine and out of no where got a flare up so i feel ur pain....but ur very lucky to have caring people around u to help, that's one thing i miss alot since moving away from every1. It's not easy being sick alone. So i understand what ur saying...I hope you feel better!!
