My Crohns behaved

I have had a very stressful and emotional week.  My brother in law had a stroke and heart attack earlier this week and then passed away on Thursday.  He and my husbands sister had been married 55 years and had 14 children together.

What amazed me was thru this all, my Crohns has behaved perfectly.  Although my schedule was all messed up, eating different foods etc, I had not one issue from my Crohns.  Its amazing how grateful you are for these good times.  I was able to be there and support the family and not have to worry about running to the bathroom or wondering if one was even available nearby.

And best of all I haven't crashed or anything, and still feel pretty good.  Thank goodness!!!   :)

 

I'm sorry for your families loss! Let's hope things hold up for you Gail. Hugs

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother in law. My mom died from a long and difficult struggle with cancer last March. I was amazed that I was so stressed, but my Crohn's remained in remission during the hardest, saddest time in my life. I'm not doing too well now though. It's interesting that I just sent my youngest daughter off to college, and I didn't get sick until she was settled and all is well. Sometimes I think I hold it all together when I'm really needed, but now that all is ok, I've allowed myself to fall apart. But maybe it's just a coincidence. Who knows!!! I'm glad you are able to be there to support your family, and I hope you are kind and gentle to yourself. Warmest regards,,

Sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you are feeling better though. Let's hope you are on the upswing now!

so sorry to hear about your loss but YAY that your crohns knows when to behave :)
