Some Valentine's ideas for IBDers:
- Write a love letter to your favorite medication and/or surgical technique.
- Give Gutsy a 'new do' - make him red for Valentine's Day and change your profile picture.
- Put hearts on your hospital room door and insist everyone who comes in the room must smile.
- Draw hearts on bandages and/or ostomy supplies.
- Before taking your pills, put them in a cute heart shape and admire.
- Politely ask your GI tract to stop being your Valentine, don't be too disappointed when it doesn't (verbally) respond.
- Eat as much chocolate as you are willing to pay for later.
YAC
The Gutsy Generation is an initiative by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada's (CCFC) Youth Advisory Council (YAC) to foster awareness, support and action about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic autoimmune disease, affecting about 233,000 Canadians - with many diagnosed between 15-24 years of age - and costing the Canadian economy almost $3 billion annually. It's time to speak out and get up - coming out of the bathroom stall to find a cure!
