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.

Got to go out!

For the first time in several years I got to go out to a restaurant! And eat without fear and pain.

I may have a bag but I am alive and it's great to have moments like this with friends, enjoying good food. Ah, the pleasures of life. This was not possible before surgery.
