You will not regret getting that disease out of your body.

The rest of the ride is no cake walk, but NOTHING compared to living with the disease!

Best of luck to you, and when you wake up in the AM after surgery, WALK, WALK, WALK!!!

Hi everybody, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
My surgery went very well. Scar looks good, no infections and all the plumbing is functioning great. I get to go home mon or tues.
The first night I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I still had my useless colon and tried to get up to go to the bathroom! Least to say I did not get very far before the pain hit...I sat up about 3 inches before I let out a little scream Eeker Eeker
