Today is the 6th year anniversary of having my colon removed and my jpouch created. I would have never dreamed then that I could become who I am now.
I was so sick for so very long before and after my surgeries. There were so many times I wanted to give up.
I am really happy today. I always call it my rebirthday. Especially this year, when I look back at how hard I fought this vicious disease. I still have lots of struggles and outsiders look at my life and think I must be miserable. And I can feel down and discouraged. But like everyone on this board, I am strong.
There is always hope for a better tomorrow and if tomorrow sucks, there is always the day after that!
