Middle of May


Hey Blog world, I'm not really good at keeping this up to date, oh well. So where does life find me right now. The big thing of course is my health condition. I've been diagnosed with Ulcerative Coitus. This is a Inflammatory Bowel Disease of the colon. It's been pretty horrible for me for the past two months. I've lost a lot of weight and haven't been able to do much because I have to stay close to a toilet. I've had to change my diet around a lot too. I mostly eat soft foods and stay far from really spicy foods, high fructose corn syrup, carbonated drinks, red sauce, lettuce, and other foods that upset my guts. It's like I have to live a slightly modified life right now. I'm on medication which has helped a lot, but it's slow. I judge my recovery in weeks.

On a brighter note. I've got my car back and running again!! Thats a huge relief for me. Thats what she looks like now!! I've really become quite a gear head over the past year. I saw Iron Man when it came out with my cousin Ben. It was a very fun movie. I'm also excited for my Cousin Paul and his family to visit Oregon in the next week ahead. We'll have some fun times.

Kierstin and I are still dating and having fun. She has really been getting a green thumb lately. She has decked her patio with a abundance of flowers, plants, and herbs all of which are in cute planter boxes. She loves to take care of them each night carefully watering each one. If she had a plot of earth I bet she would start start growing crops!!

I'm still working at Emanuel Hospital in the ER. Things are changing a bit there. My old boss left and my department is looking for his replacement. There are more shifts that are available for me to pick up. But since I've been so sick lately that I haven't been working as much as I would like too.
