I know it has been a long time since I last updated my blog, sorry. I have no excuse other than I have been fishing way too much to take the time to sit down and post to my blog. As far as my health goes I am doing awesome. I've easily been able to put the weight back on that I lost around the time of my first surgery. I eat just about everything I can get my hands on.
I did have one set back that delayed my surgery about a month. Close to three months after my first surgery I had an abscess form near my pouch that had to be cut and drained. That was an uncomfortable two weeks. My surgeon stitched a tube into the abscess which allowed it to drain and heal up. The tube had to stay in for 2 weeks, not fun. We decided to wait another month before going in for my last surgery just to make sure that it didn't come back and that no other problems would arise.
Overall I am feeling great! I eat anything I want, I can go and do anything that I want, both things that I couldn't do before the surgery. I go in Monday morning for the final surgery and will probably be in the hospital the rest of the week. This surgery is much shorter and less complicated than the first. Basically all the surgeon will do is remove the ostomy bag and reconnect my small intestine inside my abdomen. I can't wait to be done with the bag!
