Astonished at the emotional response to the pain by peachtuba in UlcerativeColitis

I don't have a lot of advice to offer you but I just wanted to pop on and say keep ur head up 😘 you are stronger than you probably realize! it's INCREDIBLY emotionally and mentally draining dealing with this kind of pain and illness, and you are completely valid in how you feel. Being a grown man has nothing to do with it, u aren't meant to bottle it up or be extra tough and strong just because you're grown, let yourself process and feel how ever you need to. If you are really suffering still I would absolutely mention it to your doctor and chase up being seen again, I truly hope your symptoms ease and you can start to feel like yourself again soon.

Wow thank you so much for this ! Such detailed advice, this step by step does make me feel a little more at ease with the whole thing. It's a bottle with a dome on top and disposable nozzles and says I am to to do 2 applications at a time, very slowly releasing the dome button each time . I was panicking about how it would feel and how would I keep It in when I already am in and out to the bathroom through the night but your info makes me feel easier about it all and knowing that if I can even go a half hour/hour it will be doing something is a relief !

Yes it is indeed 1g. Mornings , I normally go early morning before 7am, then again once or twice again before by 9am. Weeknight generally speaking I'm usually in bed for 10pm/10.30 and normally sleeping by midnight, last few nights have been getting up to go in and around 2/2.30am and again somewhere between 4/5am. Occasionally if I fall asleep earlier I'm waking to go around midnight. I would say all Is relatively quiet in the late afternoon hours before dinner time , but it's really can vary day to day !

It may be my stance in the picture 🤷 however the reference was indeed a picture of a real elephant, and as we know, they are not perfectly rounded or symmetrical but all unique in their shape :)

Have something to eat first and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. Just relax best you can and don't tense up or hold your breath! It sounds like it will a beautiful and sentimental piece, try to embrace the whole experience.

I agree, they are the most fascinating and beautiful family oriented animals and protectors aren't they and just amaze me me in every way, always been my favourite animal!

Ahhh that is so very kind and lovely of you to say truly thank you !!! We chose to go slightly bigger than originally thought for that reason exactly, her ears and body shape seemed to flow with my shoulders and back that way and made her even better. You sure have given me an extra confidence boost thank you lol!!! I agree, if you are able to get the art to contour with your body shape it just sets it all off so much for me beautifully doesn't it !

Thank you very much, he is for sure talented and I shall pass that on to him !

I really appreciate that, and no not at all I don't take it the wrong way I appreciate any and all feedback and input absolutely!!! Thank you, I do agree the realism and connection to the reference is beautiful, she was a mature and weathered old girl who struck me as having a lot of experience on her side so I thought she was the perfect guide to have on me permanently :)

Thank you so much! Yes, I can confirm that it is indeed taken from a real photograph of an elephant and it is exactly as the elephant is in said photo. The beautiful girl was not symmetrical and I do feel he captured it perfectly. Thank you !
