Crohn’s Disease, Sarcoidosis, Hip Surgery and whatever else I have!

If you are here, it’s because you are curious about what the hell is going on with me now. Basically, in addition to my Crohn’s Disease I now need Hip Replacement surgery. I want to apologize for not keeping everyone up to date on things, just understand that it’s been pretty hard to deal with - let along chat about. I figured this blog would be the best way to keep everyone informed and I’d feel better if you all knew. I’ll try to post my current situation, where I am with treatments and scheduled operations - all that pleasant stuff. I made this for my friends and family.
If you stumbled on to this site because you are out searching Hip Surgery or Crohn’s Disease for yourself or a loved one and you actually find something useful here, Swell!

Honestly, I did this so I wouldn’t have to explain my current state over and over. So far I’ve managed to sorta deal with the curve balls life has thrown me with this mess but the real drag is actually having to tell people I’m sick all the time. AND it’s not easy for people to hear that too. Especially the people who know me. It leaves most people searching for something to say…words of encouragement - pity - wacky treatments ( like my mother’s strange but TRUE treatment using bacteria from wild pigs in Africa ) - lol and that’s one of the most minor suggested “cures” I’ve heard. Hey, it’s all appreciated, and believe me I understand. Of course everyone wants to help and get me to a better place.

So,…I thought the best thing to do is draw on what I know about web stuff, to keep my brain/chops sharp. And while I’m at it letting you all know what’s up. Those of you who do know me, know to expect the candid blunt honesty I’m known for. There will be more times than not where we’ll cross into that whole “TMI” zone ( Too Much Information ). I’m wearing my heart, colon, and hip on my sleeve. It’s very messy.

So as you can see, things are just getting started. Hang in there, and I’ll be back with content soon. I want to post about how I got here to this point, and where things have gone and then catch you up - and keep things current.

Thanx for caring enough to drop by. I do appreciate it.
