Yay! That is SO sweet! It REALLY helps when the man in your life cares--and he cares enough to throw it away because it's not good for you! WOW!
Last night my husband and I had a real heart-to-heart talk. (Is it something in the air--maybe Spring? ) We were supposed to go to my friend's after-the-wedding party (a BIG meal). He wasn't too keen on going--bu I was (especially after missing her wedding because I'd just had my colonoscopy!) So last night I was too anxious to go to the party--and I was crying--and my husband and I talked. I explained to him how I just don't feel like myself anymore. I told him that I miss being free--that I feel restricted--that IBS has control and I feel weak--how I feel ugly being bloated all the time, etc. We EVEN discussed my BMs (he's very private about these things--but he was asking questions--and he wanted details--I was thrilled to be able to discuss this with him--it made me feel closer to him! LOL). We decided together I should order the IBS Audio 100 Program--Michael Mahoney--it's in Heather's book. It's such a relief to have someone you love supporting you through such an inhibiting/frustrating syndrome! I'm SO thankful!!!
I'm REALLY HAPPY that your boyfriend understands! That's GREAT news! Isn't it wonderful to post a happy story--speaking of happy, happy Spring!!!! I hope that your b/f will continue to be supportive! Also, please let us know what happens with the job--we're all thinking about you!
