Dad has been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. He is still hospitalized and will be for awhile longer, while the doctors get the symptoms under control and his medication regulated. My brother Andy also suffers from this disease.   It’s funny how until a disease strikes close to home, you know little about it.  Since Andy’s diagnosis a few years ago, I’m constantly reading articles on Crohn’s.
I went to work this morning to complete a couple of tasks which were hanging over my head.  I managed to put in most of the morning but had to leave due to back pain.  Thanks to the anti-inflammatory drugs my back is improving, I just need a couple of more days of medication and rest.
Since the television flat lined this past weekend, I have been reading more and more.  Most days I finish a novel. My brother made arrangements to get it repaired (the vertical scanner died) but I’m not so sure I’ll bother watching it.
Despite the various upsets this past week, today is a wonderful day. My DH is coming home after being on a job site in Cape Breton for the past 3 and 1/2 weeks!
I hope you and Papa feel better soon, and I’m glad to hear Carl will be back
