17th September 2012
So today hasn’t exactly been the best day but it could have been a lot worse (my oesophageal stricture is being a right pain). I woke this morning to find that I had horrible salvia sitting to my chest again but thankfully it wasn’t as bad as yesterday and I only spend a couple of hours bringing up stuff. Having to bring up stuff is really annoying and quite sore but I am trying to not let it get be down but to be honest it is very hard to not get depressed.
Seeing as it is Monday that means it’s time to set myself some new goals. I didn’t do to bad with the goals that I set myself last week, I went out of the house twice and I only forgot to take my Omega 3,6 and 9 but I didn’t cook a meal for everyone.
My goals for this week are…

I’m on a roll this week and it’s only Tuesday, I have written 3 blog posts for my other Crohn’s blog - Crohn’s Quine: The Life and Adventures of a Crohnie, I have written 2 posts for my beauty blog and I have also finished a post for my photography blog. Now I know what you guys are thinking that is a lot of blogs but I love blogging. Blogging has given me something to do because unfortunately with my poor health I have to spend a lot of time house and before I discovered the blogging world I felt like I turning into a vegetable because I had nothing really to stimulate my brain.
So today has been a better health day, I did not bring up any thick saliva, woohoo. Now there is one strange thing about this, the last two days that I had brought the thick saliva I forgot to take my Omega 3,6 and 9 supplement the night before but last night I remembered to take it and this morning and I didn’t bring up anything. So the question is does Omega 3, 6 and 9 help my oesophageal stricture or is it just a coincidence?
Today I am grateful for…
20th September 2012
So last night I couldn’t sleep for two reason’s, the first reason was I was in pain and the second reason was I couldn’t switch my brain off.
One of the main problems at the moment is I am jealous of all the people who have just started university and I think to myself that I should be one of those people but’s it’s not because I had to drop out of collage last year so I didn’t have the qualifications to apply for the photography course that I want to do so badly. I always think to myself that I should have pushed myself more but if i’m honest I know deep down there was nothing I could have done because it is really impossible to attend collage when you can eat or drink and at this time last year I was always bringing up thick saliva.
Today the community dietitian came and has suggest some new things that we can try to improve my nutrition. The first thing that I have to try is new supplement drinks that have just been brought out, I have to take it for a month and then they will reassess me.
Today I am grateful for…

I was extremely anxious about what was going to happen today but there was no need to be at all, it turned out great. Today was the first time I have been on a plane in six years so it meant that it would be the first time that I have ever flown with my ileostomy, the specialist nurse said I wouldn’t have any problems but I still had my doubts, I was really nervous and concerned that i would have a panic attack but thankfully I didn’t.
After arriving at Luton airport we got the hire car and headed off to the Bicester village retail outlet. Biscester Village was extremely busy but I still enjoyed it, normally I hate really busy shops. So I had planned to buy a handbag but I ended up buying more than just a bag, I bought three discontinued MAC paint pots, two discontinued Bobbi Brown eyeshadows and L’Occitane Hibiscus Flower Shea Hand Cream. Biscester Village is a very beautiful place and I definitely recommend you visit it.
Today I am grateful for….
23rd September 2012
Well I got a rude awaking this morning because somebody decided to have a long hot shower with the bathroom door open so that meant they set the fire alarm off. Today I was suppose to be going to the British Touring Cars at Rockingham but it was far to wet and cold to spend the whole day sitting outside. As much as I love the touring cars it would not have not been a good idea for me to sit outside in the rain, so instead I went to Cambridge because I had never been there before. Cambridge is a lovely town with lots of beautiful buildings, so I managed to get some really good photos.
Today I am grateful for…
24th September 2012
So today is the last day of the holiday. :-( This weekend has been a great weekend away I just wish the weather had been a bit better though. So today’s flight wasn’t leaving until 7.05pm so we just spent the day exploring the area in the car, there are some really cute old fashioned houses in Oxfordshire.
We arrived at the airport at 4.30pm which was too early but it’s better to early than late and because we were early I decided to do a bit of duty free shopping, I can never resist products that have money off. I did struggle with the flight this time but it really wasn’t anything major I just felt a bit sick, because the weather wasn’t good in Aberdeen and it meant that it was a bit bumpy before coming into land.
Today I grateful for….
28th September 2012
So today has been a bad health day for me. :-( My stupid oesophageal stricture has start to play up, it started playing up last week but over the weekend it settled down again but unfortunately on Wednesday it started being a pain again. Everyday I have been bringing up over 500ml of thick clear salvia but I have decided to phone the hospital at the beginning of the week if does not settle down because I can not afford to keep getting badly dehydrated.
Today I decided to cook a meal for everyone and despite all the problems I was having I was determined to cook it and I did but by the time I had finished making the meal I was feeling really sick and weak but I am really proud of myself for finding the strength to do it, my health problems are not going to control me.
Today I am grateful for…
29th September 2012
Well today has been the same as last few days I would say I haven’t brought up as much stuff as the last few days but it is certianly more painful today. I have a good number of sore areas today’s, my jaw, my ribcage, the centre of my chest, my teeth and my lips are also sore and cracked, I think probably the worse thing about today is I can’t take a 1 gram of paracetomol which is the dose I am really needing but because my weight has drop to 50 kilo grams I can only take half the dose.
Today I haven’t done that much because I just didn’t have the energy, I have also tried to have a stress free day because the last thing that I want is stomach problems on top of everything else.
Today I am grateful for….
