I have pain every day.  My body hurts.  My joints hurt. My belly hurts.  My nether regions hurt from going to the bathroom ALL the time.  Every now and then I am lucky enough to get my hands on some pain medication which, more often than not, doesn't really do much to relieve the pain anyway.  So sometimes I, like others with Crohn's, have to go to the ER to get some heavy duty drugs to get a little relief.  This isn't usually met with kindness from the ER staff though.  I know I personally have been labeled as "narcotic seeking" for an occurrence when my very own Dr. GI sent me there for pain management.  Since three of the four major hospitals share electronic records in my area I am pretty screwed out of going to the ER for pain management now.  I am usually immediately told there is nothing they can do for me.  And if they are feeling generous they may slip me a Vicodin or two before sending me on my way.

I'm a status poster.  I post statuses on Facebook about random things that happen in my life, current thoughts or attitudes, stupid things people do that I witness, stupid things I do, and just general life updates.  I post Twitter statuses (I guess they are referred to as "tweets") about bathroom things and Crohnie stuff. (I guess you could call them pooweets.)  By in large I guess the majority of my status updates have leaned toward the negative side during the last six months or so.  Being unhappy at work, for the most part, contributed to this.  But, since Thanksgiving is quickly approaching - and my favorite holiday of the whole year aside from my birthday - I decided to start posting things I am thankful for starting on November 1st.  So far I have done well.  I have actually even managed to post two statuses a day for things I am thankful for.  I like to be an over achiever.  Actually, I am pretty impressed wit...

I had the blog shut down for a while because I'm on the job hunt again and feared that potential employers may see that I am chronically sick and not appreciate my humor about it.  But I have to say I really missed my blog.  It is so therapeutic for me to write.  Besides, I don't think having this blog is going to stop me from gaining employment.  Or keeping employment.  I've decided not to make it even matter anymore. My position was done away with and I am, again, out of work.  I saw it coming.  I knew it was going to happen and it was only a matter of time.  I can't help but feel a little relieved.  I was really unhappy in that environment.  The trouble is I hoped I would have something else to go to and be able to leave on my own.  But God has other plans for me and that's fine.  At least I will have more time to write, right?
