Time to Visit the Vampires

Well, today was a visit to the vampires.  Luckily, I got someone very good, and it was only one needle poke instead of the 6 it took last week.  Today was also my methotrexate injection.  Aren't I just the luckiest girl alive?

I was on the phone for about a half hour with the disability insurance people.  They say they now have everything they need to approve my claim.  I hope so.  The woman seemed to not have a clue what Crohn's was, because she kept asking where my pain was.  I must have told her it was my abdomen at least 3 times.  Oh, well.  She seemed incredulous that it could take 8 weeks for the medication to work, especially since I only take it once a week.  However much I wish it would work instantly, I have no control over it.  At least now I don't anticipate going back to work until the end of September.  What a summer vacation I have! (please note the extreme sarcasm)

Tonight is family night at camp.  I'm not going.  I have been counting today, and I've already had 18 bms today.  My poor butt hurts.  And I have no idea where all this D is coming from, as I would think eventually it would run out.  I think I am getting ready to give up hope.
