Not Listening

For the first time, I have made the decision to not listen to my GI. I am not being disobedient because I am arrogant. I am being disobedient because I am tired. I need a break from medications, antibiotics and quite frankly ANYTHING Crohn's related. So I am doing it. I am taking a break for two weeks. I will still take my treatments but all this other crap is on HOLD.

Loading Dose Take Two

Being admitted in the hospital and having to get the resection surgery a month before it was scheduled was quite an ordeal.

It started as a visit to the ER. I was thinking the CT Scan my doctor ordered would show inflammation and I would probably be placed on steroids and sent home. Well, that would be too much like normal. My Ct Scan showed that the stricture and inflammation had gotten significantly worse and I was admitted on a Monday and my illeocecectomy was done Friday of that same week.

Recovery was going well until I contracted an infection four weeks after surgery. I would define it as a minor set back however while this was going on the diarrhea and bloody stool was not letting up. I was not able to take my regular treatment of Humira because of the infection.

So, here I am six weeks later, still a bit sore from surgery but finally able to take the Humira.
I begin with another loading dose. Four shots in ten minutes.
Lock and Load. . . . OUCH!!!!!
