I'm back

I'm back...not at 100 percent, though. Let's say I'm playing a little hurt. I'm toughing it out for the good of the team and the fans. I'm a team player.

The reason I haven't blogged for so long is because I've been sick. I still am a bit and from what I understand it won't be going away anytime soon. Two visits to the doctor and a trip to the ER revealed that I did not have the flu or gastroenteritis as some had thought. Rather, it was the begins of an ulcer. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought I had an ulcer. But it would explain why it had last a month rather than say...48 hours. But this week it hit me big time and took me pretty much out of commission for four or five days.

Part of it was being ill, the other part was not knowing what to do for it. Now that I have some medication (yay!) and understand that I have to keep eating to keep the pain away, I should be able to function.

The loser in all of this? My taste buds. The loves of my food life; hot wings, pizza, most Italian food, nearly all Mexican and gasp milk and all dairy products are off limits for the foreseeable future. Sheesh. I do know what I'm going to do without my milk.

I do know that I'm going to start changing up my routine. I'm thinking that it might help, as well. Get up earlier and maybe go for a walk in the morning. I'm not totally sure what I'm going to do differently, but definitely something. Change is good.

Hopefully I'll be back to blogging normally. Thanks to all those who prayed for me.
