I just realized it has been a year today since my j-pouch removal. I feel very fortunate to have my life back. I have been able to continue with school, and although it is challenging, I'm willing to take it on; besides, after years of uc and pouchitus, school is a much easier monster to take down. Life at home is also so much better. My family and I are finally doing things we have put off for so long. Thanks so much for always being here and for all the support I have recieved from this site.

What a wonderful post to brighten my day!

I'm so glad that things are going so well for you. Isn't it great to be free of all those "butt" issues? No more butt burn, no more cramps, no more running to the loo every half hour....

Keep up the good work!

Take care.
