Recovery Time

Had what must have been food poising a few weeks back. Hit me for six and it took at least a week to recovery.

After a few days the symptoms where just like a bad bout of Crohns. This really worried me as I had been doing so well for ages.

I had faith and just tried to look after myself as best I could. Stayed off work for a few days, then worked from home, ate good food, stayed away from booze (not that i felt like it), and eventually I got back to normal.

Say It With Flowers

Another outpatients appointment loomed and I realised the same doctor had been looking after me for over 13 years!

My Doctor has been so great over this period. She has always been really concerned for my well being (as any good doctor should be) and interested in how I am coping with Crohns in my life. It is always a pleasure to tell her any good news I may have, such as getting a new job, moving house, and any other personal achievements.

I expect she has enjoyed seeing me mature and overcome a lot of the difficulties growing up with Crohns through at me.

So for this appointment I decided to buy her a big bunch of Lillies to say thank you.



It felt good giving her some recognition, although I was reminded by the excitable receptionist that they and the nurses play there part too. Perhaps I will get them a pot plant next time ;)
