Yes, it's true. I LOVE SOUP! Its a somewhat recent development. Since I was diagnosed and became scared to eat most things, I started making soup a lot. My favourite is cream of asparagus. As a matter of fact, I have a steaming delicious bowl of it in front of me right now ;) yum yum yum! I've made asparagus soup probably over 10 times this past year, and tonight's is the best. They're always super yummy but tonight's is better. Maybe its the 3 leeks I added...shhh don't tell my dad (haha he reads this). Well dad, if you already had some and liked it, maybe you will stop being a baby about leeks now!
Today I went to the mall with my mom to get what I dub "fat pants". As I no longer fit into most of my work pants (except for one gloriously stretchy comfortable pair), I needed to get some new ones. My go-to store didn't have the size I needed...but of course they had my old size. Moving on...we went to another store and found lots of pants in the size I needed. I went into the change room and had the discovery that they have elastic waistbands...SCORE! They are super comfy, stretchy, and the waistband will allow me to grow if my new stint on prednisone decides to blow me up like a balloon even more!
I went to yoga today. I'm doing my best to go 3 times a week. Hopefully it will help me lose the weight I gained the past 4 months and help prevent me from gaining more if I start pred again.
My mom doesn't want me to go on it and is encouraging me to ask my doctor for alternative routes to bring down the inflammation this time. I agree, but if it's that or the big stuff perhaps I can give prednisone one more shot at working. Also, my decision will be based on how long he thinks I will be on it again. I do not want to be on it for longer than I did last time, 10 weeks felt like a lifetime. My friend is coming with me this time, she's pretty good about making sure I ask all my questions.
It's Saturday night and we're deciding what to do. Last night we had a fun filled night of quadratic function homework haha. It's crazy how much I remember once I look through the material a bit. Too bad most other things in my life are forgotten too easily. Is losing my mind part of crohns? haha
Going to catch up on Pretty Little Liars now. Have a good weekend :)
