So today was not a good day and it was not the Crohn's that caused it this time.

Today I woke up with crippling anxiety and it was so bad that I couldn't leave the house. I haven't had anxiety this bad since I was in hospital getting the oesophageal dilation done, at least there was a reason for anxiety attacks then but this time there was no reason for it. I am really hoping that this is just a small slip up and that by tomorrow I will fell less anxious.

Today I finally got the phone call I have been waiting for, they are going to be delivering my new bedroom furniture on the 9th June. I cannot wait for it to finished as I am finally going to be getting the bedroom that I have wanted for years.

So today Crohn's has really been kicking my butt. I have been having these stomach pains since the middle of the week but today they got bad. The pain is in my pelvis so that means it could be adhesions, the fistula or a UTI that's causing the problem, I am leaning more to it being the fistula because there has hardly been any discharge coming from it since the beginning of the week, I really hope there is not some sort of blockage or abscess.

Thankfully Snowball seems to be doing okay after eating all those threads off her toy mouse on Wednesday, she was sick yesterday morning but it's not unusual for her to be sick every once in a while.

I am so annoyed with  myself today, my cat Snowball has this toy mouse and because she is a bit destructive with her toys she manged to eat about half a dozen threads. Of course when I saw her eating them I immediately shouted NO! and of course when she hears the word no she thinks she is in trouble and takes off, I chased after her of course but by the time I caught her and opened her mouth she had swallowed the threads. I really hope that she is able to pass them because the last thing I want is for her to need an operation because I will never be able to forgive myself, if only I hadn't shouted no I could have got them from her.

So today I finally got my Superdrug (UK drugstore) order after having a few problems with it. Two weeks ago I saw one of my favourite YouTuber's (Siobhan from LetzMakeup) tweet that Superdrug were doing 3 for 2 on all their makeup so I thought to myself I deserve a treat, especially after what happened in April. So as it is now summer I purchased bright coloured makeup such as the Maybelline vivid lipstick's and the colourful Sleek eyeshadow palettes, I also purchased some cream eyeshadow's, blushes and nail polish. I can't wait to try out all the new makeup that I got there is something about playing around with makeup that makes me so happy.

So today was World IBD Day and it was probably the best World IBD day that I have had so far.

I decided this morning that I was going to ask my favourite non IBD suffer's to retweet this picture.

So some of my favourite paranormal investigator's (yes I believe in ghosts), British Touring Car driver's, youtuber's and musicians posted the picture on their feed and so many of there followers retweeted it. I decided to send a thank you tweet to every person that retweeted the picture, I know a lot of people will think I am stupid but I was just so grateful.

Honestly words can not describe how happy I was that they retweet this picture it finally feels that people are starting to become more aware about these terrible illnesses, I was also able to chat to some new IBD warrior's and to people who have family members and friends with IBD.

Today the nightmare finally ended and I got discharged from hospital.

This morning the GI doctor's came round to do to there normal morning ward round and it was positive news, as it had been 36 hours since I had the dilation and I hadn't displayed any signs of surgical emphysema they said that they weren't going to bother with scan and I could start eating and drinking. I had some porridge and water for breakfast and they both went down okay so I was allowed to go home in the afternoon.

It is so nice to be out of there and I can't wait sleep in my own bed tonight. I would be lying though if I said I wasn't anxious about going home especially since they didn't do the scan to find out what was going on in my oesophagus but I feel okay and I am not in that much pain so I am sure everything is fine.

Surgical emphysema occurs when air gets into tissues under the skin. This usually occurs in the skin covering the chest wall or neck, but can also occur in other parts of the body.
