Last night I went out with my college friends to catch up. We went to all you can eat sushi. I was a bit nervous but also kept in mind I survived the tomato...so I ate whatever I felt like! Ok, I'll admit I didn't go crazy...but I hadn't tried seaweed since diagnosis, so that was a risk, and there were cucumbers in some of it. So that's about the extent of my rebelling with sushi as far as I could tell.
We were at this place for 2.5 hours...man they are slow bringing it all out! But it wasn't bad for us, we barely ever see each other. Some were seeing me for the first time since crohns, and all of them were seeing me on prednisone for the first time (except one friend who works with me). At one point I got laughing so hard that my chest and shoulders hurt..bad case of the giggles. Crazy emotion time! They asked questions about the meds, what foods I eat, and all that. They were all interested and understanding. Lately I've been blurting out things without thinking, which I did, and they laughed at me..what are friends for right? I didn't randomly cry, so I say it went well!
I came home and flopped on my bed in a food coma, passed out and had THE BEST SLEEP EVER!!!! I haven't woken up feeling so refreshed since I started prednisone 3 weeks ago (which feels like forever). Today at work I felt ok..until I needed to use the washroom. Then I felt nauseous. Not sure if it was just me feeling crappy in general or if it was the sushi wreaking havoc on my tummy. Either way, it passed and I felt ok the rest of the day.
I tried my best to not snack all day long (failed). But I did get a 2 month membership to a gym for cheap...so I'll put my prednisone energy to good use.
Tonight I made some yummy pureed potato and leek soup. Its nice on my tummy :)
Time for bed! I'm wide awake tho..not looking promising.
