Back

I haven't been doing any blogging in quite a while as you can plainly see. This is largely because I have not felt my very best over the last couple of months. Right after I developed two lesions on my chest in June I started having difficulties with my bowels once again. This whole thing started right after I began taking an antibiotic to fight what the doctor thought was a bacterial infection on my chest. The lesions healed relatively quickly, although my bowels which were affected tremendously by the antibiotic have not rebounded to their normal functional state.
It has been a couple of years since I have experienced these types of problems, and the knowledge I was able to overcome this once before doesn't seem to be helping me get over this sensation that I may have to live with this discomfort for quite a while. I am trying a multitude of different techniques in order to get myself right again, and even though I am getting a little better day by day, I am still having troubles more often than I would like.
Well, I am going to be trying to get back to blogging more often and start just writing down what I am feeling on that particular day. My other blog has been neglected as well, but at least I have been able to put a few things up every now and then on that site. It has been so difficult to concentrate on much of anything, let alone writing when I feel like trash so often. And on those days when I do feel pretty well, I tried to get things done which make me feel even better. My to do list continues to grow and I just don't even have the energy sometimes to tackle some of the more easily rectified things on that list, but I do know I will get to it eventually.
I have been selected to be an advocate for all spinal cord patients at the Tampa VA. Tomorrow is my initial meeting and I cannot wait to dive in headfirst so that I can get my mind wrapped around something other than my woes. I used to be so busy when I lived in my other neighborhood that I didn't have time to concentrate on not being so comfortable much of the time, but right now it is all I am focused on. I am, however, really optimistic that I will be able to get my bowels in order once again and then perhaps my energy levels will return to the same level they were in early June.
I'm not going to do any corrections on this unless I see an obvious error in my quick perusal.
