Thanks, everyone. I wonder why we skipped trying Lomotil? I may call Maggie tomorrow and ask.
I am trying to refigure my back-to-work schedule. I've been on a reduced hours arrangement since my original surgery, Dec 28, so I may pretty much keep to that for a little while longer. I can do a lot of my job (writing, some phone calls) from home. My boss is incredibly supportive; I am just eager to get back, especially with the new year!
"Teacher"lady is only part of what I do... I am a pastor. The current game plan involves me being present in Sunday services as of Sept 1, and I am planning to deliver sermons as of the next week. One service per weekend. I can write sermons, articles, programming notes from home. But I'd like to be able to be up front and public for that small amount of time each week.
I remember when I would have bad UC flares, and sometimes being out, away from home, seemed to make my gut go quiet for a few hours. I am wondering if the same thing might happen in my current circumstance. I was able to be at a funeral a week ago with no mishaps.....
