This morning they took out Alexander, my rectal tube. It slinked out without fuss.
I am no longer have a bag and things look good. Lets see how day one without any external appliances goes!
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.
Hey - already? It is only 8:47am
