I've received some wonderful nominations for WEGO Health's Hilarious Health Activist Award .  And there is still one week left to nominate your favorite Blogger, Tweeter, and/or Facebooker....or ME - no pressure. ;) There are some great categories to chose from.  I'm hoping to see Jason Leitman from Crohn's Disease Support Network receive the award for Best In Show.  Thank you all so much!  I still can't believe I have reached so many people and made such a positive impact.  This blog has had over 10,000 views and most of them weren't even me!  I am looking forward to providing more information, support, and, of course, humor in 2012.  Thank you for the nominations and for reading Jenni's Guts! Through all that Jenni has gone through she has managed to find the humor and laughter. She handles the toughest problems with a smile and a laugh. And in my eyes, laughter will always be the best medicine. Jenni has a great outlook - a wond...

Merry Christmas to all and Happy Birthday Jesus!

After another early morning trip to the bathroom I was reminded about some of the dumber things that I have thought and/or said recently.  I decided to share a partial list starting off with the first dumb thing I thought today: If I just lay here an not move the urge to poop will go away.  Sure mass quantities of liquid hot lava (aka diarrhea) are burning tiny holes straight through my rectum but if I'm just still enough... damn, didn't work! Yes, yes I would like some popcorn. Dr. Pepper 10 might taste just as good as regular Dr. Pepper.  (Please don't be fooled by this.) I like this job and everyone is so nice.  Maybe this will last a while.  (Ha!) We have one roll of toilet paper - we can make it another day.  (We didn't make it two hours) This conditioner is cheaper but I bet it still works just as good.  (Oh, it worked but it smelled like dirty feet and grandma's house) Let's put the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving this year....

I'm having the eye surgery.  I met with the surgeon on Monday and he feels he can do some good by performing cataract surgery on both of my eyes.  It may even improve my vision enough that I will be able to wear normal glasses and/or contacts.  But apparently I have to see a retina specialist first.  I have evidence of an old detachment that needs repaired.  I'm supposed to see that doctor next Wednesday.  I'm a little freaked out.  So how does one have an old retina detachment, you wonder?  Well, when you are 19 years old and you get hit in the side of the head by your manipulative, controlling and abusive boyfriend, that's how.  At least that's what happened to me.  Needless to say I will be sending this bill to him.  (Fun Fact: He's on Facebook if you want to private message him and tell him thanks for me!) Anywhoo...the retina doctor will be using a laZer (I like to use "Z's" to spell laZer cause it looks way cooler an...

 I think this is brilliant.  Just in case you are curious I fall around a 6 1/2 most days.  The normal is 4.  See? Brilliant! JUST A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE POST This is the most popular post on this whole blog.  It's been viewed more times and searched for more times than any other topic on Jenni's Guts Blog.  I think this is hilarious, but I also hope the people seeing this post stop and look around at other posts that are equally as great, if not better, and certainly way more helpful and supportive.  Regardless, thanks for stopping by Jenni's Guts - even if you are just checking out the Bristol Stool Scale.   PS: I'm still a 6 1/2 on the scale some 7 years later, in case you were wondering. I know you were.
