I have had quite a bit of time for reflection over the last few days. As well as busting out some artwork, reflection time was what I was looking for. On the 28th (in 3 days time) last year I received my official diagnosis. Not the one on the table while you are still whacked ...
How do you like your eggs?
Well it's Easter break and I should be working on my 1000 pending freelance jobs... but after this week I decided to take the day to be a bit self indulgent and reflective. Its been a bad week. So - the job that was meant to solve all our problems? Has only created new ones. I ...
My breaking point
Its been a hard week... and on Sunday night... I snapped. It was due to many things - probably most notably the fact I had been ill since before Christmas with almost no reprieve. In fact... it appears to the casual observer that I am getting worse. I am at the limit of what conventional ...

Today one year ago I was recovering from my first Colonoscopy. Today one year ago I was "unofficially" diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I really threw myself into work today - this is an anniversary I'd rather not have. I must admit - I did get a lot done. But none of it stopped me thinking of ...
What.the.hell?
More Crohn’s weirdness ensures. Awesome.
Afraid to eat
Well, I am sad to start off by saying that a friend of mine, who has had ongoing health problems, is one step closer to a diagnosis. None of the options are good – and one just happens to be Crohn’s Disease. Some good comes out of knowing what you have – but the fact ...
The Relapse
The end of my 7 month remission came on Sunday night. Now thats a record I intend to beat.
… but will I survive the week.
Yay to avoiding hospital. Boo to an uncertain future.
