Wyatt Fuller's Journal

I had surgery last week to have my gallbladder removed. I have some liver issues and tests are being run to find out what.

So this year I have decided to take part in Project 52. At least one new blog post a week. With that in mind here we go.

I have a few things that I want to accomplish this year.

1. Finish scanning in all the family photos.
2. Scan all my wedding photos
3. Fix up our front and back yards including putting up a fence for the girls.
4. Learn a new programming language which will be determined later
5. Get Healthy

The last one is the most important. Right now I’m still having some issues with the Crohn’s Disease which has made my life pretty miserable. I’m on Humira right now and it seems to be working but there are a few side effects. The major one is that I have no immune system. If someone sneezes near me I get a cold, this has led me to being sick all the time. I’m really hoping this is the year that everything changes.

The other goals are pretty self-explanatory. I have been really slackass on scanning photos and I plan on spending at least one hour a day getting them all scanned and putting them on fullerfarm.net. I have pretty much finished the Fuller family genealogy as there is no way to get past Ezekiel Fuller (1650-1723) as all records are gone. I am working on the Chamblin side next.

I want to learn a new language to improve my skill-set.

Now the main focus of my blog will be me dealing with Crohn’s and dealing with our dogs Percy, Luna, and Soleil.

Life with three English Mastiffs is always interesting. Percy is out 10 year old male who rules the house. Luna and Soleil are our 6 month old girls. I’m not sure if my house, car, bank account, furniture, bones will survive.

So stick around and check back at least once a week and join me as I try to document a year in my life.

The Humira seems to be working. I’m feeling better but my gallbladder is giving me trouble. The pain is incredible and very annoying. I’m hoping to get rid of it soon. I am going to try to get back on my posting schedule.

I think the Humira is working. I have had a pretty good week. Very little abdominal pain but a lot of gallbladder pain. I did get off the Pentasa this week so that makes me happy.

Here’s hoping that this next week will be just as good

Today was a good day. The only thing that went wrong was the gallbladder pains which weren’t that bad. I got paid finally and was able to buy Jenni an anniversary gift. I got her a netbook which will be here friday. Viva la Amazon!

At my doctor appointment today I was able to get off the Pentasa. I am now only on potassium, Imuran, and Nexium. Dr. Chaudhary wants to wait another month before we remove the gallbladder so that the Humira will have the Crohns under control.

All in all it was a good day.
