After my diagnosis when there weren't many answers to be found, I came up with a few reasons why I was lucky enough to get Crohn's disease.  Although none of them are actually true, they are kind of funny.  Laughter is the best medicine.  Enjoy! Top 10 Reasons I have Crohn's ... 1.  I swallowed gum. 2.  I ate Matzo balls in some kind of soup. 3.  I was in gymnastics and it twisted up my bowels. 4.  I used to eat raw hamburger meat while it was cooking. 5.  My grandpa fed me Spam and Sardines when I was little and called it "special meat". (Gasp!!) 6.  My mom always used the microwave to make baked potatoes instead of the oven. 7.  I was never breastfed. 8.  I was exposed to power lines as a baby. 9.  My mom and dad were drunk at a New Year's Eve party when I was conceived.  I am a September baby after all. ;) 10.  I drank from the hose in the backyard and/or from the natural spring down the road.

It's hot.  It's actually past hot and straight up disgusting.  I cannot stand hot weather.  I hate to sweat.  I don't mind going to the gym and sweating during a good workout, but sweating walking from my front door to my car is seriously over the top.  Work is awful.  I work with the elderly and they love this weather.  They are always "freezing" if the chillers are running and all the thermostats get set somewhere between WTF and HELL.  Standing at my med cart just pulling medication causes me to pour - and I do mean pour - sweat.  My scrubs stick to me.  Then I have to move and actually go pass out the medication.  Then it's up the stairs and down the stairs over and over again.  It's gross and I can't stand it.  But I still love my job.  I could just do without the sweat.  I lost 4 pounds during one 8 hour shift the other day.  Really. I think the weather is supposed break next week - hopefully...
