Living with IBD

Recently I was diagnosed with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). So this is my road to not recovery but to understanding and learning to accept that I will have to cope and work with this for the rest of my life. This is a blog of my view, opinions, recent news on IBD and helpful hints if I find any. You will find some of my blogs may be quite witty and they are not meant to offend anyone in anyway. My way of living life is basically laughter is the best medicine but I find I do have my days of totally “losing it” with tons of tears. When the doctors ask me how I am doing, when I jokingly reply “shitty” I literally mean it. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Valentines

We are on a tight budget because I have been without a job for over a year because of the IBD but we never really did Valentines on a large scale. I always told hubby to please do not buy me flowers or anything on Valentines. I don't know about every where in the country but here our roses double in price. So here was our Valentines day.

Homemade French toast with hearts cut out, 1/2 pear and sausages.
Massage at home.
Lunch at a local restaurant where we had a cup of soup and shared 1/2 sandwich.
Going to a local pet store to get Scout his rabies shot for $5.00
Made Scout and Teller Liver and Oatmeal Brownies - Easy and piece of cake
Dinner I made hubby Wilted spinach and mushroom salad, prosciutto with caramelized scallops, and topped with shrimp.
Finally, end of the day glass of wine and watched a movie from NetFlix.

Now that was awesome and we did not have to spend lots of money.

How was your Valentines?
Happy Valentines everyone.
(((hugs)))
