Outlook for 2010!
While the last few days of 2009 were tough and trying, my outlook for 2010 is positive. I can say I’ve learned a lot about myself in a short amount of time, more so than any other time before in my life. Looking back at December, having spent 10 days in the hospital, it really did change my character, and my attitude towards certain things. Not that even spending 10 days in a hospital is all that long, it just affected me. Sitting in a hospital bed motivated me to take control of my life. There’s so much life to be lived out there, and I was sitting in a hospital bed missing out. Maybe thats why If you know me i’m always looking for the next big adventure.
I realized that it’s up to me to make certain decisions about my health, and my Crohn’s disease. If you don’t voice up or ask questions, then your going to be treated like any other patient. I guess having a nurse come and tell you your Diabetic at 10 in the night and that she’s going to give you Insulin, even though you have never had high blood pressure or symptoms relating to blood glucose problems will get you motivated to “watch your back” per say. My parent’s told me this for the longest time, especially my dad, but it never sunk in until now “You’re the one living with Crohn’s, so you should look into it, find out more about it”. It’s of the upmost importance to know your body well when you have Crohn’s disease. Get to know every little feeling your body makes and how you react to certain situations. I can tell you now for sure, that I am a stress detecting machine.
New Years resolutions? Eh I think my main goal is to stay healthy and stay out of hospitals. Followed closely by staying away from stress! 2010 should be a good year!
Happy new years to everyone… 5 days late I know…
