Hey gang, just checking in. I’m ok. Thanks for all your emails and messages. It’s been a long couple of days…

Yesterday I fasted all day and took picoprep overnight for a colonoscopy today. If you’ve had that, you think you’re going to die sometimes. So I only got to eat finally tonight. I’ve been pumped full of antibiotics and fluid for 2 days.

I have a nasty big abscess which needed draining and some other bits sorted out whilst under anaesthetic today. I won’t share the gory details! I’m as groggy as hell and as usual I like to scare everyone when I tell them I’m going to faint. I have become a real fainter since having kids! No idea why. Low blood pressure most of the time…

Anyway, I’m off to catch some zzzzzzz. Home hopefully on Sunday. X

    Hope you get well soon! I have to have picoprep on Monday and am dreading it. Also recovering from a nasty abscess myself 🙁 I have so many questions when you are feelin better/ if you don’t mind me asking, that I would love to ask you. I have never found another women with crohns that also suffers so chronically and gets abscesses! I have an awesome dr but sometimes feel like a guinea pig! Am truly impressed you managed to get through the block!! Speedy recovery! Xo

    Oh gosh. I had an abscess at Christmas last year, I feel your pain. It’s horrible. I’ve had ongoing problems since and need more surgery.’
    Maybe I should look at Chrons being a possible cause? I don’t think I have any other symptoms though. Docs just said it was bad luck. Hope you get better soon
