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.

Day 4 Timeline

Cramps are barely noticeable today. I still feel gross but at least I'm getting healthier. Health is definitely better than before the surgery. As for food, I ate stuff that I couldn't eat for years: more pizza and some chicken schnitzel.

I feel a bit of guilt about eating such junk but it's so novel to be able to eat again!

Can't believe you finally have your chance to eat and you stick to that junk! Silly boy.

By the way, really happy to read that you are getting better so quickly!!!!!!!!!!!
