I know that there will not be many people reading this blog, but I don't care. I love to write, and ABSOLUTELY need to get into, and stay in, great shape.
I have Crohn's Disease, and have already had two surgeries because of it (had one, then the next day had to have another). I am having another surgery on Friday, and do not want to have any more. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, and have finally decided to do something about it.
My doctor decided after the last time that I went into the hospital that I was too sick to go back to work. After a few months he gave me permission to go back, but only if I could find a job where they would let me go home when I got too tired, which happened three times per day (had to take a 2 hour nap each time - that got old quick!). So, needless to say, I never could find a job like that. I MUST get back into shape after this surgery so that I can start making some damn money again. It really hurts the fragile male ego to know that your wife is making money and you are sitting on your ass all day. That will NEVER happen again.
I am currently going back to college at LSU in Baton Rouge, LA, so will be able to use the Rec Center to work out once the Fall semester gets here. You can only workout during the semesters that you are enrolled full time, and I need the summer to recuperate.
The reason that I scheduled my surgery when I did was that the Spring semester just ended. This gives me a week off to do what ever I want, and then they slice me open! The last (and only) time that I had to recover from a surgery, I was extremely sick. I had not been able to eat anything for two months, was extremely anemic, and was so skinny and weak that I literally could not roll over in bed by myself. Before becoming sick I weighed 217 lbs (not sure how I remember that!), and when I went into the hospital, I weighed 100 lbs even (currently up to 225 - yes, I gained 125 lbs during the last year and a half). I really have no idea how long it will take to get better. It could take 2 weeks, it could take 2 months, it could take 8 months. I really have no idea. I know that I will only be in the hospital for 3-5 days, which is much better than the month that I spent last time. The only reason that I got out when I did was that I told the doctor that I would crawl out of the hospital and then crawl down Essen Lane to my house if I wasn't out by Christmas. He apparently could tell that I was dead serious, as he let me out on the 21st!
I will probably write more about the events that led me to this point in my life at a later date. As stated before, I love to write. It's the best, and cheapest, therapy available! I will definitely be writing about my workouts, my diet, and the trials that I have to face due to my surgery.
If I start whining and complaining about anything, please tell me to shut the hell up and get over it. I don't want to be that kind of person, and need all the help that I can get. Yeah, I can be a big baby sometimes.
