A flurry of Good News today!
-Lab results came back that I have colitis, not crohn's. Thankfully I don't have to look forward to a lifetime of resections and fistulas. Apparently, I'm now "cured".
-I ate a tonne yesterday and didn't need flushing last night!
-Prednisone is now down to 5mg. Maybe the diabetes and eye problems will go away with the drug!
-I can go home on Wednesday though I need to learn how to catheterize and flush myself still.
Oh, and for the first time in years, my resting heart rate is hovering b/w 70 and 80, not 110-115 like it used to. My haemoglobin is probably normal unlike before.
All in all, I'm starting to feel better now than I did pre surgery. While I do have a bag and it has its obvious challenges, I am looking forward to doing things and going out of the house! World watch out, Steven is coming soon!
