When you explain it, it sounds so much worse. Take it easy and listen to those docs!!Hey guys. Thanks so much for all the prayers and kind words. I'm doing amazingly well, considering where I was just 4 days ago! I came home on Sunday, just two days after surgery. I was able to shower all by myself this afternoon, put real clothes on for the first time, and Lisa took me to Costco and Sam's Club with her. I rode the electric scooters around while she picked up a few things she needed. Yes, I drove under the influence, lol. No retail displays were damaged
My entire colon was removed durning a 5 hour surgery. I'm sporting a shiny new ileostomy bag. In 4-6 months they will create a j-pouch. It will be bypassed for an additional 2-3 months to allow it to heal. Finally, the bypass will be removed and I should be back to "normal" 6-9 months from now.
Absolutely!! Fervent Prayers sent your way Brother from Ruthann and I!! Hang in there!!Brad,
Best wishes, and prayers for a speedy recovery.
