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.

YES!

Today I said yes to life and went for a walk for 30 minutes. Carpe Diem, come hell, crap or high water!

It was awesome to feel the rain on my cheeks and breathe the cool air! Saying yes in spite of a million reasons to say no is AWESOME!

There is something very cathartic about walking in the rain. It is one of my favourite things to do.

Am I becoming too saccharine?
