So, after eating at Buffalo Wild Wings with my family, I felt a little ill, but it wasn't too bad.  I had a brat burger.  It tasted delicious and I had french fries with it.  Afterwards I mowed 1/2 the lawn (my son mowed the other half) and I pulled all the dandelions in the lawn. I also planted some carrots, peas and flowers (Morning Glories) with the help of my daughter Jacqueline.  Here's our demolished lunch:

Freshly mowed lawn with flowers:

Lilac plants.  They smell beautiful along with the fresh cut grass:

                                 

                                          Lilacs again:

                                          Peas, carrots and pumpkin planted along with some Morning Glories:

Right in the middle of  mowing the lawn and pulling dandelions I had to drive my 16-year-old daughter to ballet.  After I got to ballet, I had to go to the toilet so bad I thought I would go in my pants... but I didn't.  All I could think of when I was driving the van was "Please don't crap!! How do I clean this up afterwards? We have cloth seats!" It was very frightening.  I used a public washroom and saw that I evacuated the shepherd's pie I ate for dinner yesterday.  Corn totally undigested.  Blood was in the mix.

It is now 10:40 p.m. at night.  The above paragraphs were written during the day.  I have emergency diarrhea.  As soon as I move too much I have to race to the washroom as there seems to be no time between the feeling of needing to go to the washroom and it happening.  The toilet is full of blood each time.

Now we are going out to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings for my son's Grade twelve graduation yesterday. Of course, this is a delemma for me as eating anything will have a bad affect.  I do have to eat something eventually anyway though.  I just recovered from yesterday's Shepherd's pie and slept all day, all night, and most of the morning.  I don't want to waste this day as well.  I have a lot to do.  There's blood always leaking a little from my rear end now.

I cannot find my supplements and vitamins! I didn't eat all day but had some Shepherd's pie with the family after my son's graduation, so I made it through the graduation, but now I've been on the 'ole toilet since eating the Shepherd's pie at 5 p.m.  I don't have anything to stop or control or treat the diarrhea and blood.  I better find the stuff.  I am also exhausted.  I'll have to look again tomorrow.  I'm certain I'll find them somewhere.  I went to Winnipeg yesterday so I had them packed in a plastic bag all in one spot (one of those zip-lock ones).

I did figure out how to get photos on here so I don't have to keep downloading them from the internet.

Above is me and my son and my six-year-old daughter under his arm at his graduation today from grade twelve.  This is why I couldn't eat all day.  I had to be there for his graduation, not the toilet.  I am so happy he graduated.  I don't know what he's pointing at.  I can't remember what was going on.

Can't eat today.  My son is graduating at 1:30 p.m. and I need to be there, not in the toilet.

So, so tired.  Slept all night last night outside of a couple of washroom breaks, slept most of the day and now, at 11:16 p.m., I am so tired my bones ache and I feel like I might start crying.  Apparently, fatigue is a symptom of Ulcerative Colitis.  My fingers ache elbows, legs, everything.

Not me, pic from internet... as soon as I can figure out my phone camera, I'll post real photos:

1 June 2013 Afternoon

I just ate out at a Chinese restaurant because my family wanted to go and I wanted to go with them and I looked stupid if I didn't eat, so I ate a regular meal and went up and got seconds.  My stomach started bubbling while I was still at the restaurant.  I don't understand how it could since it must take a while for the food to reach your colon, but my colon was screaming before we left the restaurant.  I'm tired now.  Body aching.  I only went to the washroom twice though since I returned from the restaurant at 3:00 p.m.  It's an hour later.

I didn't eat almost at all yesterday and my diarrhea was awful.  On the way home in the car from Winnipeg, Manitoba I stopped at Subway to eat because my children were starving.  I ordered a 1/2" sub (bacon, egg and cheese).  I ate 3/4 of it but had to stop as the egg was frozen.  Disgusting.  I ate the part before I stopped anyway frozen and all.  It had green peppers on it, southwest sauce and onions.  I know that's crazy considering the circumstances, but that was all I had to eat all day. I would have thought the repercussions from eating a sandwich like that would have been far worse than what they were.  I wasn't on the toilet that much considering how much I was on the toilet not having anything in my stomach.  Oh wait, I had the salt and vinegar chips that went with the sandwich and water.

Yeah, so it wasn't too bad.  I only had to use the washroom about four times between 7:30 p.m. before I went to sleep that night and 11:00 p.m. before I went to bed.  I did make it the two hour drive from where I stopped without having to pull over.  I did have to use the washroom during the night a couple of times and in the morning, but considering the food, it wasn't that bad.
