Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

[PendergrassRanch]

Thank you both of you I really do need and want this job. Its an absolute dream. My favorite part is that they also work with large animals so I will get a chance to treat all kinds.

Congrats on the job!

Sorry you aren't feeling so good. I don't know if it would help but I found that for most stomach ills and even headaches, there is a product called Reeds Ginger Beer. It doesn't have alcohol and it is sold in the soda section of the store. It has ginger and pineapple, both products that help with inflammation and ginger is great for calming an upset stomach. Normal ginger ales don't have any/enough real ginger to help at all, but Reeds has an extra strength that has 26 grams of ginger. I don't know if it would help you , but it sure helps us for a lot of things here and it is only $5 for a 4 bottle pack. Cheaper than most medicines and less side effects.

Hope you feel better soon so you can work on being excited about work!

Well. It sure has been a long few days.

I went into the ER Wednesday morning. I was in horrible pain and Drew made me go. I just got home today.

I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.

Gosh, PGR, I am so sorry about your diagnosis. That stinks. I don't know much about it but it just sounds painful. Is there something they can do to fix it or cure it or something?

No cure but its managable through medication and life style changes. My diet is good but it will change slightly. My trigger for the episodes is stress. I can look back and see when I had the episodes and what was going on and it's clearly stress. Time to de- stress.

I'm on medication now and home. It's a nice day but I'm tired.

Oh no, that's awful. It seemed that the stomach pain and your stress over the job thing went hand in hand. I hope you it feels better for you soon. So does that mean you didn't start the job yet? Are you still going to take it?

I think I posted the most on here about it and reading back is interesting.

I called the job Thursday to let them know I was in the hospital and they were completely amazing and said to just call when I'm better.
