Please don't worry when you read this. I am fine!!!
I am in Loxton Hospital tonight admitted as a patient due to the flair up of my Crohn's disease. I am fine and am in here as a precautionary monitoring thing. I have low blood pressure, low hemoglobin, low iron levels and an increased pulse due to some Crohn's complications.
I've lost 10 kilos in the past 32 days due to paddling and the excersice, then I had steak and BBQ's at the weekend with my family and the indulgences don't go well with Crohn's and have caused it to flair up.
I managed to paddle th 36 km's today although I was extrememly lethargic and tired. Then we drove from Moorook down into Loxton where the doctor admitted me.
I'll probably be in here tomorrow as well and have a day of rest. Luckily I'm a few days ahead of schedule, so it won't have a major impact on my arrival time back home!
No one needs to be concerned, everything is fine, and this is just the issue of having a life long illness that needs to be looked after. I am certainly not going through anything like the kids I am raising money for!
This has made be realise again the reason why I am doing this for the kids!
