So this next week and a bit is going to be a busy one as I have decided to try and post a blog post everyday on my other blog for Crohn's and Colitis awareness week. I am really hoping that I will able to post something everyday but my problem with putting letters the wrong way round and writing sentences that make no sense could be an issue.
I really must make a start to my Christmas shopping as well, I know what I am getting everybody so it shouldn't be to difficult this year. Another thing that I have to do is sort out my donation to the Cat's Protection League, I am planning on giving them money, food, treats and maybe some toys.
I really hope my health stops deteriorating though because I really want to get these things done.

Finally today was the day that the World got to see the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode, (yes I am geek) it was amazing and it was so cool to see Tom Baker in it. Seeing as I am not doing anything tomorrow and there isn't going to be anything interesting on tv I think I will end up watching it again on the bbc iplayer a few times.
So my health has been getting more and more crappy by the day, first it started off with pain in my stomach but now my joints hurt, especially my hands. If things keep going the way they are might have to cave in and get the evil tablets aka prednisolone (steroids).

So today we had our first snowfall of the winter, it wasn't that much but I love snow so it made my mood a bit brighter. As per normal everybody of course start's to moan about the snow but really there wasn't anything for them to moan about it was just a light covering.
Last night I decided to try and read books again. Ever since I was prescribed citalopram 2 years ago my head has had this fuzzy feeling and I haven't been able to concentrate on things but since I weaned myself off them I have noticed that my concentration is improving so why not try to read again. Before I started taking the citalopram I did a lot of reading because it was a way to forget about all the crap I was dealing with in my life, I can honestly not wait until my concentration returns fully and I am able to escape into books.

So my sleeping pattern is all messed up again after Friday. I had to get up early on Friday because I had the hospital appointment and late in the afternoon I decided to have a nap because I was so tired but of course it was a stupid idea because I slept from 4 to 9pm and that meant I was able unable to get to sleep at night.
Also after being at the hospital I have been so stressed about what is going to happen with this fistula. I have been trying to keep myself busy but as soon as I stop doing things I start stressing and worrying about it again, why can't I just switch my brain off.

So today I saw my colorectal (bowel) surgeon and it went pretty much as expect. At the beginning of next year she is going to take me in as a day case to clean up the wound and take away the over granulation tissue, also when I am in she is going to try and find the fistula that showed up on the MRI scan.
Today when I was at my appointment I also mentioned that I didn't want anymore oesophageal dilation's but I was told that it was not a good idea to stop doing them. So when I got home this afternoon I phoned my GI consultant's secretary to get another oesophageal dilation arranged, fingers crossed that I will get it done before Christmas.

So today has been a rough day, let's just say that I am not coping well with the whole not being able to eat thing plus it also doesn't help the mood when you know that you have a hospital appointment tomorrow. To be honest I don't know why I am going to see my surgeon because if it is anything like the previous ones they ain't going to do anything with my 5 year old surgical wound.
Sometimes I really get fed up with going to hospital appointments because I never ever seem to get anywhere with them, it's a waste of my time and their time.

So it has been just over a month since I wrote my last diary entry and I am finally back to being able to function after having really bad depression in October.
Life is of course is not straight forward though, when I finally beat the stupid depression I end up with my oesophageal stricture's becoming so bad that I am unable to eat. It has been a good run though it lasted 3 or 4 months, I can't exactly remember when I last had a dilation. Since the end of last week I have been trying to keep myself as busy as possible so that I don't think about how hungry I am, there is nothing worse then feeling hungry.
The next couple weeks are going to be really difficult for me as it will take some time for the feeling of hunger to go away but I have had done this many times before so I know I will be make it through.
