Yesterday was one week after my takedown, and it was the first day where my butt burn is almost gone. My bowel is starting to get more formed and easier to empty my pouch.

A few days ago I was thinking this would never get any better. I was using the bathroom at least 20 times a day but yesterday was ONLY 17 Wink.. I never really thought 17 was a good number but it just shows me that I'm on the road of recovery.

Physically I feel great, I see my surgeon today for my follow up and gonna get my staples removed, that will be nice. I see myself getting back to work after next week, as long as I feel confident with my bowels.

It truly does just take time to heal. I was hoping for some magical trick or medicine but in reality, it just needs time to adjust and heal. Also it is training ME about my new body.. I can tell now if its gas pain or go time. I clearly have a long way to go but I've turned my first corner and it feels GREAT!!!!!
