A brief update

So the worst of the break up is over. Tomorrow is Valentines day. Ugh! Its not the lack of man that makes me sad, its the lack of chocolate. I miss chocolate. Real dark chocolate. Haven't had a decent piece in ages. IC, making everything more difficult since 2010. Even an a Hallmark Holiday like Valentines is worse with IC. Which leads me to the real purpose of todays update.

How do I date with IC?

I am thinking of slowly making my way back out there. This time I am going to take things slowly. Very slowly. Like glacier slow. Why? Easy, there is just to much at stake for me. I want to be able to give my heart completely to someone and receive their heart in return. In this most recent break up I foolishly gave up my own heart before I realized I was dating someone who was too afraid to give their own heart to my keeping.
So as I consider dating, I have to think about how do I address the entire IC, medical diet, "no I really can't eat Japanese food without winding up in my doctors office tomorrow"  issue. This is almost as tricky as how to tell a guy I am kinky. Oh readers, I am kinky and perhaps I will discuss that in another post one day. For now, I struggle with the simple issues of how do I date without turning a potential guy off because I am A: Always going to the restroom B: Unable to eat at most restaurants C: subject to random flare ups of a painful disease and finally D: I make use of my states compassionate care laws to medicate with the dried flowers of a plant with known hallucinogenic (and pain relieving) properties.

And I can't eat chocolate.

I don't have answer yet to these questions. Really I am just brain storming here. Getting my worries out before they consume me or more realistically my bladder.

Your truly,
The Goose Girl

  1. I definitely relate to missing chocolate! This is my first Valentine's Day WITHOUT chocolate or anything sweet. Dating with IC is possible, but I understand your legitimate concerns. Trust that when there is a will, there is a way! Anything is possible!

    1. Dana,

      Sorry it took me so long to respond. Thank you for your support. I hope you had an enjoyable (and safe sweet filled) Easter. Why no sweets at all? I understand no chocolate, but are you able to eat other sugary treats? I hope so.

      TGG
