Whee! Festivus!

I don’t have COVID-19 but my Crohn’s disease got jealous of the attention COVID-19 was getting and decided to remind me who is boss. It’s manifesting itself primarily the way it did decades ago. I’m not in that much pain but I have no energy. I spent yesterday watching tv and napping. I didn’t even […]

Musical Infusion

Yesterday I had my infusion. The car showed up early, but I was ready. It fit in my plan as after I was dropped off I went across the street from the infusion center to get bagels. I can’t get it after because they close at 3:30. I still checked in way early. I don’t […]

GI Bill of Health

I’m getting a ridiculously late start writing today. Yesterday is no longer fresh in my mind but I’ll do my best to remember it. If I forget about it let’s blame it on the meds. It has nothing to do with the meds, but I was told I can get away with saying that. Yesterday […]

Cat Looks

I’ve had a rough health day. I slept until 11:20 and my stomach didn’t feel right. I didn’t eat until 2:00 and then I fell asleep for a few more hours. My guess is that this is another manifestation of my Crohn’s even though I have no active inflammation. I know that as my MRI […]

Sometimes Nothing Is a Real Cool Hand

I’ll get right to my health. The obstruction cleared last night after I went to bed. I’m not out of the woods yet which is proved by me writing this instead of eating. I haven’t eaten in 60 hours; I should be starving. I will eat something as soon as I’m finished writing. I’ll have […]

Farewell Doctor

I’m going to have to stop writing in 15 minutes to watch Karen Dahlstrom streaming but as I’ve procrastinated all day and didn’t write yesterday I figured it’s best I get started. I’ve had a second glass of ice coffee; the second was actually ice creamed coffee so I should have enough energy. I didn’t […]

Getting Better All The Time

Last you heard from me; I was sick with Crohn’s. I was going to go to sleep at 11 o’clock as I couldn’t concentrate on anything. Then I got access to the Friday stream from the Philly Folk Fest. I watched Bobtown and that game me a second wind so I then watched Yasmin Williams. […]

The Crohn Ranger

Sorry for not posting; I’m not dead but I am sick. It’s my Crohn’s disease. I’ve eaten nothing since breakfast yesterday. I managed to watch some streaming concerts yesterday, The Ladlesmy latest musical discovery, and then Christine Lavin who I’ve known for over 30 years. I just realized I’ve known her for almost exactly half […]

Matthew 6:12

Sorry that I’ve been MIA since Monday. I had a bad week; to which you should respond, “If you had a bad week why should I suffer?” Anyone know where that’s from? What if I told you it was said by Menachem the beggar? Yes, that’s right, it’s from Fiddler on the Roof. It’s in […]

Masking Priorities

I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]
