A second chance - My silly and philosophical look at the cure for Colitis

Countdown thoughts till my Oct 29 2009 surgery where I will be disemboweled to "cure" me of Crohn's/Colitis. My large intestine will be removed.

Memories can be short lived. My hope is that this blog will be a useful tool after surgery, to help me and others remember how challenging things were prior to surgery. To help us appreciate having a "second chance" and keep things in perspective despite a changed body image and new challenges.

I apologize, God.

My wonderful family is god. My wife's sweetness and love is god. Despite the damn health problems my life is so good and rich when I let it be.

I don't mean to be cheesy but in my pain and frustration I lost sight of how wonderful and sweet my family is. I love them so dearly and despite it all, life is actually good.

It's so cliche, but.... we have to experience the bad times in order to appreciate the good.

I agree...I feel better physically with the ostomies then I ever did without them and my family is awesome!
As much of an aggravating, frustrating, PITA they can be...life truly IS better this way!
