Here I am at nearly 1am Christmas morning, with about a million places to go tomorrow, and I'm wide awake with anxiety, UGH!! I'm doing better about getting out, and have been since July (thank goodness!!), but tomorrow I have a long trip in the morning without a single bathroom open anywhere between here and there !! And mornings are so bad for me. I'm getting worried about it. I'm going to drive myself, but certainly don't want to embarrass myself before I get there I may just break down and take some Immodium. I have Colitis though, and it gives me horrible heartburn for some reason. Right now I'm trying to figure out which is the worse of the 2....D or heartburn. I guess I can be thankful that, with all the excitement of the holidays, I am at least not C!! I'm just scared that good ole D will hit me in the morning during my trip. Boy, I sure hope not Wish me luck and please sent some good vibes my way. I hope tomorrow will be smooth sailing Merry Christmas everyone

PHEWWWWWWWWWW!! I made it, I made it !! I was so nervous about it, but I did great after all And here's the kicker...I didn't even get to drive myself, because it was SOOOOOOOOOOO cold, and even after 10 minutes of letting my little car (my little 89 Mazda 626 ) 'warm up', the windows were still frosted over, and it was ccccccccold in there!! So I threw caution to the wind and just rode with my hubby in our 2001 Dodge Ram. Nice & toasty and lots of room for presents in the back seat Once I noticed that most gas stations were open, I did fine. It's funny, if I know there are no places open to stop, I'll get D for SURE. But I actually do okay if I know there are places to stop!! I am so thankful that everything worked out this year. I can remember last year at this time, my stomach and anxiety attacks were so bad that I was completely homebound. I was actually feeling suicidal at one point. Boy, what a turn-around from last year. This year, since July, has been great. Took a lot of prayer, but BOY, God is so good!! I almost feel as good as I used to !! Not a day passes that I don't thank Him. I doubt I would've made it through these last few hectic days without His help. Merry Christmas everybody, and thanks for the suggestions!!

Merry Christmas!! I say for this one time, take the Immodium, and take some Maalox or Pepcid AC or something for the heartburn, before you get the heartburn.Good luck!
