Good to hear. Slow and easy, you will not believe how fast she will start feeling better. I was back to work in 8 weeks after my J Pouch was created. I am now 3 months after my reversal and life is great. I dont even think about it anymore and I am on no meds at all. The J poch is awesome and works well. As young as she is she will heal quick. Just remember that until that reversal surgery she will have jst as many bad days as good days and alot of it will be the mental part of dealing with the stoma. What a pain in the ass, no pun intended.
Such wonderful news! Don't forget to take things slowly...I know that she wants to do everything, eat everything, go everywhere...but a bit of caution is needed...don't let her tilt the balance from not doing much to doing too much...she needs to heal just like us old folks do (fine, she will probably heal faster and heal quickly but temperance and patience is til the key)...wonderful to have her back in the house, isn't it?
