It took him sometime to get use to it, but he's returning to his old self. He has chrons, and spent years on Remicade, and hymara. FInally this was his last option, its not ideal, but at least he is sympton free. wolfehound22noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879466065973431818.post-25626149890594043372012-08-28T18:49:36.907-07:002012-08-28T18:49:36.907-07:00Thank you, Heather.

At this point I am still sick and getting worse every day and so am getting impatient for the surgery.

I recently became a principal at the same time I began running out of options. 16 days ago I had a colectomy and because my disease was bad we opted for the three step procedure.
