J pouch surgery done

Wonderful progress!

Hope she has a smooth recovery!

Hi every one . Had my first stage of surgery last tue. I feel so good all ready it's amazing , off those big pain kills all so ,Got 2 more steps to go . But my life has improved for the better, from that debilitating disease UC

Day two of recovery, sitting up in a chair more and planning to go for a short walk, things have gotten a little easier. She's looking forward to getting rid of the nose tube, hopefully tomorrow. Cathy. God is Good

Way to go. I had Issues with my first surgery that slowed things a bit (slipped knot needed 12 pints of blood and a 2nd surgery 7 hours later)but sitting up on first day is great. I spent 3 days in a induced coma to give me a rest
but on day 4 hours out of the coma some hard ass nurse had me up walking. so I had some fun she wanted me to walk 100 feet I pushed it to 400 ft. took all I had but she had to keep up.
Enjoy the days to come most will be good some will be hard but all will be worth it.

Wow you had a tough start, glad it all is going well now,

I was back to full time work with in 11 months. so chin up.
