Road to Recovery...I Hope

Things have been improving the last few days. At least I've stopped bleeding and the bowl movements are solid again. I know that's probably too much information, but that's what you have to deal with when you have UC.

Right now I'm pretty weak considering the weight (10 - 12 lbs) and blood loss. I'm probably grade 1 anemic even though I haven't been tested. The iron supplements 3 times a day will hopefully take care of that quickly. Plus, I'm able to eat normally again so hopefully my weight and strength will come back quickly as well.

I was hoping to go for a walk sometime today. The weather has been great lately, but I have not been able to enjoy it. I love this time of year and it's very depressing when you're stuck on the couch. I need to start some light exercise to get my body back to normal. Plus, I don't want all the weight to come back as fat. Who knows...maybe I will be able to get some VERY easy riding later in the week depending on how I feel. I just watched PR from yesterday and I'm itching to get back on the bike.
