the truth about chronic illness
You know how when your too close to a situation - it's almost impossible to see the full extent of what's going on? I think I've been in one of those situations for going on 15 years. To fill in some blanks: PLOT TWIST. I quit my job of almost 15 years (which I have referred ...
So here I am... on a Tuesday, middle of the day... at home. Am I sick? No - well kinda, but that's a longer story. No, I am officially unemployed for the first time in my adult life. I shouldn't say that. I am actually self employed... but I think that's just semantics at this point. What ...
It's so stupid. Yesterday afternoon I came home and wrote a political piece. My world was the same I was angry about the same things, hopeful about the same things. Life was just chugging away as normal. I cooked dinner... we watched a TV show... Stocker submitted his latest paper for uni... then he sat me ...

As the post name suggests - yesterday I started my third year as a diagnosed Crohn's patient. How do I feel? Alright - get ready.... I feel shit. Yes, honestly, really shit. But not so much because of the Crohn's thing. You see, right after my review last Thursday, I picked up a case of the flu ...
Okay - so feeling "fine" is an exaggeration. Lets say, feeling better. People close to me have probably been aware of the struggle I've had with my weight since starting the Crohn's medication. For those of you who don't know, prior to being medicated I had never weighed over 60kgs in my life.... no not once. ...
It's been another long gap between posts. I've had a string of big days at my Full Time Job. It frustrates me because - they work me until I'm sick but are still not even close to considering hiring a new body. Facts are - there is way too much work for me alone, being ...
