Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Actually, he found me this time!

I was not looking to date anymore after my divorce and had just decided that God must have meant for me to live alone the rest of my life. I decided that he had other plans for me, I just didn't know what. That's about the time my hubby came into my life. I rejected him at first but he was perserverant and after 3 yrs. of dating, we married. He's very good to me. I feel bad because this IBS "C" and the nausea and vomiting that goes with my Perimenopause (from what we can tell so far unless further tests are done), he has been a very patient and loving man.

I have many friends that I mostly keep in touch with via email or by telephone all across the country. He has few and we seem to be each others best friends. We do most stuff together which is a very different lifestyle that what I was once accustomed to.

I used to be "very" outgoing and social. I can still be at times but nothing like I was. Maybe aging has slowed me down a bit. Most things we do are things we do together. When I worked for the Police Department I used to just go, go go and now I can't get enough energy to move, move, move! I'm hoping it's only temporary. I make myself go to the gym for 1 1/2 to 2 hours 3-4 days a week and workout steady then come home cook and clean. I usually have dinner on the table when he walks through the door. Speaking of, it's a tad after 5:00 and he should be home in about 15 minutes. I just need to toss a salad as I have the rest done. He's not used to this kind of treatment so I think I've spoiled him a bit.

Alyson, I like you. You sound like a really nice down to earth person. Although, I like many others on this board too. You and I sound like we have some things in common. I'm hoping maybe in time we might develope a friendship. Currently I make most of the long distance calls to my friends because we have one of those long distance plans you pay a flat fee for that allows you all the calls 24/7 within the states. I get calls from some of my friends too and only a few have the same kind of plan. The other use their calling cards and I just tell them I'll call them right back.

Well, I've spouted enough about my private life and I'm sorry if I've bored anyone. My apologies. I find this board helpful and sometimes get a kick out of what I have read other postings say. There is much support here which is what we are all looking for. Thanks to Heather there seems to ge a great group here.

Email me directly if you'd like too. It's time2heid@cs.com Truthfully, I do have a day here and there where I do feel like hiding!! Take care! Heidi
