Darrin so kindly forwarded a Crohn's newsletter with plenty of useful tips and information on how to go on forward living the new normal. I will in the next few days take bits and pieces from it and summarize them for easier reading and understanding. However as I scanned the newsletter and the information on it one particular link caught my attention. This particular link highlighted several well known people that coped with Crohn's and were not afraid to live their lives and tell their disease that it was they and not it that was in charge.
The list is:
1) Dwight D. Eisenhower: West Point graduate, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces Europe during World War II and 34th President of the United States of America. He was general and President. A war general at that during the biggest, bloodiest, most critical war that this world has ever seen. And he was President. President and General of all the Armies of Europe. Let that sink in. Yes people you can do it. Babysteps and before you know it you too may be leading an Army.
2)Cynthia McFadden: Co-anchor of ABC’s Nightline and Primetime television news magazine shows. She does lots of work with the CCFA.
3)Dynamo: Magician. Does any more really need to be said? He's a magician! A magician! No, I have no idea where I'm going with that.
4)Mike McCready: He's a guitarist from a little known band named Pearl Jam. Heard that they are pretty good. Support them by buying their music so we can try and get them out of obscurity. He also works with the CCFA.
5)David Garrard: NFL quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay I know that the Jaguars aren't a real, real team. But he still plays against real, real teams so to his credit he takes his shares of hits and blows and to be honest a normal person would soil themselves if they saw four 400 pound gorillas coming after them, the fact that he has never had an onfield accident with his disorder tells you a lot about his character. He too works with the CCFA.
6)Anastacia: Singer. I have nothing. No seriously, I may have heard of her but I don't remember anything she has ever done and I'm far too lazy to Google her name and pretend that I know her songs or genre. So uh, if you know who she is then you know why she sings the songs that she sings.
7)Shannen Doherty: Actress better known for her role in the original Beverly Hills 90210 as well as her time on Charmed her occasionally erratic behavior and problems with the law. Then again those problems may just have to do with being an actress and less to do with having a medical condition. But at least she admits she has the problem... the Crohn's not the occasional trouble with the law. But uh... she was on a ghost reality show or something on cable a few years ago so instead of the poo scaring the her out she scared the poo out of others.

Movies made for us
So I got bored as I usually do and as I babysat my nephews as the normal sitter had urgent matters to attend to I decided to search for movies that may have someone that suffers from Crohn's, Colitis or some other IBD as a character. Sadly I couldn't find any on the initial try but I did stumble across a Crohn's message board that asked for movie titles with an IBD twist. And so here for your amusement I present you with some of those titles which I wish I would have come up with.
