Dear LBTC,

You will recover and will be able to ride again. Sometimes, the wait seem so very long but our bodies do heal. Take a good care and be kind to your body. And your body will return the favor.

My body has been shattered on many occasions, I can sense the changes in the weather from any number of joints. Yet, I still am able to ride my bike. I do not take chances nor try to go the speed I once could. I simply ride the distance that my body can tolerate and each mile I ride, I cherish the experience. I soak up the sound, the view the smell and totally immerse myself in the moment. Instead of wallowing in dispair, turn it around and enjoy the precious moments on your bike. A 30 minute ride, even a 40 minutes is good long time. I'm enjoying my ride more than ever. I stop when I feel like it. I watch the surf. I watch the surfers, the dogs on the beach. The smell of clean salt air. And when I'm good and ready, I get back on my bike.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Sending hugs....I am sorry that you are not feeling well. It is REALLY hard to be in that position and not feel jealous, I know, I have been there. There was a time a few years ago when I was happy to walk around the block.

Feel better...

So easy for me to be whiney when I should feel grateful and thankful to be feelin fine. When you hurt time passes slowly, but the body can make a quick turnaround and I pray this happens for you.

Best of luck with this bout, LBTC. Crohn's can be tough. But Crohn's can also be kept in remission for long periods of time once you find out what your body responds to. For UK Elephant it's a maintenance dose of Asacol, and a daily dish of yoghurt. I'm on various other medications in addition, but for me too they pretty much do the trick. Haven't had a really bad episode since a year ago last November. Keep trying stuff out 'til you find what works for you. Life WILL get better! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

It will get better. I am sorry you are going through so much. I am keeping you in my prayers.
