I have been so nauseated for so long. It just seems like a way of life now. I can't handle it any more. I hate it. And it makes everything else worse. Yesterday it was practically unbearable. I had to end a conversation with my husband to run to the bathroom, for a different reason than usual. Today I have a lot of nausea and a lot of D. It is like the worst of both worlds. The only thing that helps the nausea that I can find so far is to drink Pepsi with ice. The kind of Pepsi that has sugar. And I can't eat fruit or vegetables. So by the time I get my Crohn's under control, I'll have gained a hundred pounds.
My son is off school for Shemini Atzeret yesterday and Simchat Torah today. The public schools are closed for MEA (whatever that is). So yesterday he went to bug camp at Como Zoo, and today, after OT, my husband and son are going camping. It is so cold here, with temps what they would normally be in mid-November. But my son loves it, and my husband likes it, so they'll have a lot of fun, I'm sure. Yesterday evening, my husband went out with friends for his birthday (it was Tuesday), so when my son got home from camp he had his friend over and they played Mario Bros and I made them pizza. It was so nice to see them playing together. It reminded me of when I was a kid. And reassured me that he is fine making friends. For the longest time we worried about his social interaction, but now that one kid in particular is not around him any more, he seems to have matured a great deal.
Next week he goes back to a regular schedule. I'm hoping to start feeling better then. I don't have any reason for this except some blind optimism.
