Hello my fellow warrior's, I hope you are all doing okay. I just wanted to do an update post to tell you what's been going on and why there hasn't been any blog posts for a wee while.
So basically things have been happening one thing after the other at which is the reason why there hasn't been any activity on here. I am going to be writing catch up posts about everything that has happened over the past month.
Okay that it is it for today's post. Always try to keep strong and positive because you are a superhero, love you all. xx

I took the plunge today and ordered 2 wigs. I don't actually think I have ever mentioned this before but guess what! Crohn's has also made me loose a lot of my hair, this illness is a big bitch, it's classed as a digestive disorder so why can't it just effect my digestive system only. Sorry, I totally got off the hair loss subject there.
Okay so back on to my hair, I can only remember one time that my hair was really thin like this and that was when I had the large bowel abscess, active Crohn's disease in every part of my digestive track and was severely malnourished. I am not really sure why it has got this thin again but it has so this time round I have decided to buy a wig. It's taking me about month to make the decision to buy a wig because I didn't want to admit to myself that my hair was that bad and I was that sick again because as you all know by now I don't class myself as sick person and I never want any special treatment. Sorry I have gotten off tangent again. The more I thought about the wigs I started to think they are a really good idea. I love the whole bright coloured hair but I have never had the courage to dye it bright because a) my hair probably wouldn't cope with the bleaching process and b) I change my mind every day because I am such indecisive person, so if I get a few wigs that means that I can alternate my hair colour everyday.
I was originally going to a wig that was over £80 but when I told my mum of my plans she said that maybe I should buy a cheaper wig to start with because what if I didn't like it and I ended up spending all that money on something that would only be used once. Of course she is right so I have went onto a few websites and I finally decided on these two.
I decided on neutral ones to start with because they are the ones that I will probably get the most use out of, the 2nd one is actually really like my own hair. I really do hope they will be okay because some wigs can look really crap.

So over the weekend I developed more pain which really sucks because my mood has continued to improve over the weekend.
The Crohn's in my bowel has decided that it wants to start acting up so now I have sore fingers and a sore stomach, how fun! #sarcasm. Normally when I get a flare up the pain is in my pelvis but this pain is further up beside my belly button and I also have a feeling that I might have stricture somewhere because I have had some changes in my ostomy output which would coincide with a stricture. On Saturday I also had really bad pain in my bones and muscles to the point that it even hurt to yawn, thankfully though the pain improved through the day.
On Sunday my parents were having a bit of a clear out and in the things they were clearing out was my old riding hat.
Finding my riding hat has brought back a lot of good memories, it reminds me of a happier time before all these stupid medical problems and complications happened. I have to admit though finding this hat made me kind of sad as well because I really do miss it. I have contemplated booking myself some riding lessons but due to the amount of pain that I suffer in pelvis, the issues that I have had with the wound at my tail end and the problems with my legs I have never booked one. The thing is I know for certain that horse riding would help with the depression because it's something I enjoy, being out in the fresh air would be good for me and as far as I am concerned anything that involves one of my favourite animals will lift my mood considerable.

I am still battling with the depression but I would say that it is a little bit better now, I really hope it continues to get better but I don't want to get my hopes up too much just yet.
Over the past few days I have noticed that I have been developing a lot of pain in my hands which is not good for a blogger or a crafter. Now this will sound weird but it's kind of good that I have pain in fingers because I have been wondering recently if I had nerve damage in my fingers. For many years now I have had raynaud's phenomenon so I would say that I have never had normal feeling in my extremities but I would say for the last month the numbness has become worse and I find it hard to do fiddly things but having this pain means I can't have that much nerve damage.
This week I finally got round to buying myself a new blender and a juicer.
I have been meaning to buy these things for a long time because the current blender that I have is really struggling with the pureeing but I must say for a cheap blender it has done really well, this time round I have gone for a more expensive one. The one that I have purchased has more power and it crush's ice so I thought this one would be more suitable for pureeing. As I was buying a blender from John Lewis I thought I might as well get a juicer at the same time, buying this juicer will hopefully help me to get extra vitamins into my body as it's always such a struggle for me to get enough vitamins with all the problems that I have.
