It’s been quite a wild ride the last few days. Even just typing this right now drains quite a bit of the energy from me. The last few days, knowing so many have been praying for me, has been a very deep honor. I appreciate...

The last few days have been a bit rocky. In short, after a painful episode at 2:00 am on Memorial Day that lasted 2 hours, another at 1:00 am last Monday that ended with a visit to the ER, and a THIRD episode that began...

I couldn't wait until June 23 for the results of the colonoscopy biopsies, so I called the Doc's office today. Turns out the biopsies all came back normal, so that's good. I think it means my intestines are healing, though they sure have been taking...

I'll save you (and me, frankly) the embarrassing details. Suffice to say that the erythromycin pretty much ripped my insides apart for a few days. I guess when the doc said it would stimulate my stomach and bowels, he wasn't kidding or messing around. We're talking...

Had a follow-up with my regular doc on Monday. Saw him back on the 15th to check out the odd white coating on my tongue. A couple people had asked if I had been checked for candida (a yeast in your body that...
