Woke up this morning after finally falling asleep at 1:00 a.m.  Of course pain woke me up and it just went downhill quickly.  The pain was excruciating and so were my bowel movements.  But a couple of pain pills later and I was actually able to leave the house and go somewhere today.  With the way my day started I didn't expect that at all.  Understand that I was unable to eat till I got home and then just some yogurt and a piece of toast and I can feel the pain coming on, but really I was able to get out and do something and that is reason to celebrate!
