Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

That is the right way to do it!! You can't control what anyone else thinks. That was one of the major things I learned in my last 2 years of couseling. I can only control myself and my reactions. I'm not responsible for anyone else's happiness or feelings. Total opposite of the way I think naturally. And even though I am doing quite well, I still have physical limitations with bowel stuff. And I still get frustrated about not being totally "normal". But I tell myself, this is my life...don't appologize for it or feel bad for telling peopel you can't do something. Just be thankful for the things you can do. And do what you can. I've really been focusing on that lately. Sounds like you have too. Keep up the good work.

I'm loving being a mom. It definitely has its challenges, but I know you can understand that any challenge like that is so worth it. I too can't believe Rebecca is almost 11 weeks old! Time is going by way too fast. I'm just trying to take things one day at a time and enjoy every moment with her.

Try to post when you can. I love to hear your updates...as do many others. And it's always good to hear your positive news. Even if you can't do a lot physically, you have been a huge inspiration to so many people. You should be proud of yourself. Most people w/o a single health problem can't do that! You have a great attitude and a strong mind.
