I was struck by this a couple of weeks ago when I was at the Bruce Springsteen concert at Wrigley Field. During the middle of the show, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a little plastic bag with a single white pill. While Springsteen was belting out "Born to Run," I was downing Flagyl.
That's what crohnies do.
So it got me thinking: what else do we do that make us unique? So I started to compile a list. Please add on to the discussion.
You Know You're a Crohnie when....
...you always carry around an extra pair of underwear.
...you count the number of times you go to the bathroom a day.
...you pick restaurants based on the quality of the restrooms rather than the quality of the food.
...you know every potential side effect for every medication you have ever taken.
