My oldest son won the city council election today by 4 votes.

I fell again today. My last cuts & scrapes & bruises are just healing, and now I royally scraped up my knee & have knots & bruises on both legs. My teenaged helper was here working w/me & came & sat w/me when I came in & elevated my feet for a few minutes. I explained that I become accident prone when I'm in a Celiac episode & that I bruise easily b/c it causes a Vitamin C deficiency. We actually sat there watching the bruises appear. She was fascinated. She said, "It's crazy how we can watch your skin bruising; it's like watching the sun set."

:-P

 

...but TeeBub, from a few posts back, I AM indeed feeling much better & thank you for your support & encouragement! xox

[d's girl]

Thanks for your concern, Kooner & darroll.

And Kooner... thanks for worrying, too, but it's something that I just have to get thru once it happens.

I live in a state of hypervigilance all the time, but once in awhile I get glutened & there's no fixing it once it happens. Several weeks of not being able to absorb nutrients causes lots of problems. Believe me, I work hard to avoid it, and I'm also acutely aware that although this disease is a pain in the @ss, I am so much more fortunate than so many people. (sometimes I do need to put that in perspective)

The good news is I've felt well for a week & a half, and the direct damage will be over in a few days.

...I just felt compelled to sit on a pity pot for a minute & whine about falling again. :-P

[Ubu]

Whoa, D's.  I didn't know this about you.  You've got a legit rant there.   Get better.

Be careful

MAJOR suckage, D's Girl. Hang in there, and make D wait on you hand and foot during yer recuperation.

[d's girl]

hahaha.... thanks, Snagg - he was less than enthusiastic at times the first couple of weeks, when the fatigue, depression & irritability were debilitating at times (he says I go crazy & my head spins around during that stage), but since that ugliest part passed week before last, he's been a gem. '-)

[P.A.]

And I thought my knees were a problem. Now I think they are a blessing.

[d's girl]

yeah, I'm quite sure your knees are a lot easier to put up with than trying to put up with me when I'm biting nails & my head's spinning around. '-)
