Thanks Dr. Brooke for figuring out how to do an ileostomy that works and keeps people alive.
Off we go into that tunnel called life-saving surgery. Wish me luck.

Life Saving
I realize that if surgery wasn't possible I would probably be dead any time now. There are no foods that I don't bleed from anymore. My need for 15+ hours of sleep would continue to increase until the anemia keeps me from getting out of bed at all. My body would waste away, if not from Colitis then from the Prednisone which I can't wean off of.

Hi Steven, I saw surgeon today and thought of you. She seems to be contemplating fixing my huge hernia and is actually doing a Cat scan (gasp, first test in 3 years). I hope your surgery goes well tomorrow, I'll be praying for you. I will be going back to Mt Sinai myself at 7:30am as there was a clinic for high risk patients to get H1N1 shot, but by the time I finished with Misty they were out of serum.

I wish you a successful surgery tomorrow and a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you guys today and wishing you much, much luck. I have no doubt that you'll feel a million times better.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for the wishes!
ReplyDeleteOops, tomorrow! You are going to be fine. Just make sure the wife brings you decent beverages from the outside world.
ReplyDeleteMary, good luck with everything tomorrow. You are in good hands. Other surgeons have told me that if they needed to have a colorectal surgeon, they too would go to Dr. McLeod.
