We’re going to a Tom Cochrane concert next week

July 17, 2008 by Tricia

I got an email from my brother last night. Remember I told you last week that he told me that he was going to try to get Chris a free pass to the PGA golf tour? Well he managed to get two passes!

Now I’m not all that interested in watching a golf tournament, but I do believe that I will be going. You see at the end of each days rounds, well the last three or four days of the tournament anyway, there’s going to be a free concert. Our passes are for Saturday July 26th (at Glen Abbey) and that evening Tom Cochrane and Red Rider will be putting on a concert.

I love Tom Cochrane’s music. I guess one of his most famous songs is Lunatic Fringe or perhaps Life is a Highway. I like all of his music and I’ve never managed to see him play live so this will be a real treat!

I just hope that I’m feeling well enough to go that day. My tum has been causing lots of problems in the last two weeks. Darn Crohn’s. I’ve had terrible fevers and lots of abdominal pain, plus I’ve been losing weight. It’s like I’ve been taking Phentermine or something the way my weight is dropping. That’s the bad thing about Crohn’s, well one of the bad things – you can really lose a lot of weight very fast when you are in a flare. It’s bad.

The last time my Crohn’s flared really bad and caused a lot of weight loss I lost about 40 pounds that I did NOT need to lose in less than a month. I hope that’s not going to happen this time too.

Anyway, I’m glad my brother got us the passes and I’ll be resting up over the next week in the hopes that I can go to the golf tournament and concert.

    First of all ~ so sorry about your Crohns flareup! A co-worker’s niece suffered with this ~ you seem to handle it with such grace – good for you! Also, have a great time at the concert – cool! AND, being a golfer and a golf lover – enjoy the golf tournament – I have been to many. I am fortunante enough to live where we used to have a PGA tournament and now the LPGA!! You might like my BLOG and my Squidoo LENS (squidoo.com/girlsshopandgolf) Both are about shopping and golf!! ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m a newbie to both, but slowly learning! Happy Friday!

    Sorry to hear about the Crohn’s. My best friend (going on 2nd decade now) has it and some of our poop conversations have been… VERY interesting! Between her going all the time and me hardly going at all, we’re still trying to find a way to average ourselves out to one healthy colon.

    Enjoy the concert!

    I hope that you have a wonderful time at the concert….then come back and blog all about it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    In a way I can identify with the flareups. I have “thyroid storms.” When I am really sick I can gain 15 pounds for no apparent reason in the middle of the day….along with all the “storming” effects that makes me very uncomfortable. Once I gain this weight…and it is always accompanied by thyroid problems…it is very difficult to take off. I used to be very underweight but now my thyroid is trying to burn itself out. Just this year the medicine is starting to work…but I just got done overcoming the effects of having a flareup. The opposite kind…but I understand. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Relax all you can this summer.
    Lots of hugs to you.

    Tom Cochrane, Wow! I don’t think I’ve heard that name in like 15 years. Life is a Highway used to be one of my favorite songs when i was a little kid.
