Ct scans, homemade noodles and Crohn's

Today my grandparent's cat lily is keeping me company as I fight through another bad day with the Crohn's. She is my buddy and nurse aid, or so she thinks. We are in bed watching old Christmas cartoons.

Last Tuesday I went to OSU east hospital and had a ct scan of my guts, so the doctor can see if I'm OK to have the smart pill camera procedure done in the next month or so.  Was the first time I did a ct scan and didn't start to throw up the barium drink. Thanks to my 5 stomach meds and the fact they didn't try to force me to try to drink 2 bottles of that yucky stuff after I told them I can only get down one bottle, and that this is how it has been for over 3 years. So thankful for understanding doctors and nurses.

Then Saturday evening my husband and I went out to dinner together at one of fav Chinese restaurants. Then we went to our fav music/movie store. It was a good time we had some laughs n good conversation. Jeremy is still trying to figure out whether he wants to get back together or not. But he is trying and I'm trying to keep talking daily to each other and do things together until he decided what he wants.

Then yesterday we got our first real winter snow storm and so I decided since we all were stuck inside, my grandma and I made homemade egg noodles. We made enough noodles to fill up 6 gallon freezer bags!! We made 6 batches of noodles, used 36 eggs and one and three fourths bags of flour!!! It was a lot of work but it was so much fun and now we have enough noodles to get us through all the holiday dinners!! This was my first time ever making noodles and what better day to do them on than the first snow of winter. It will be a special memory to cherish the rest of my life.

Also, 2 weeks ago I took all the hats and scarves I had made for this years smitten mitten expedition to the 2 homeless shelters I had chosen this year to donate to. And already I have gotten 2 big yarn donations and have begun making hats, scarves, and hand warmers for the 2015 smitten mitten expedition. Its amazing the out pouring of support I have received over the past 4 years from people donating yarn and money so I can help keep the homeless and needy in our area warm every winter. God has truly blessed this little ministry project. Even though I'm sick and disabled, I can still make a difference for the Lord and I still have a purpose and work to do for the Lord.
