I know you are teetering between frustration and despair. I really, really know. Until my colitis got a name and a treatment, I could not leave the house and was incontinent on multiple occasions, crying in the shower after cleaning everything up.

But at some point you have to grab control of those emotions. Take the Metamucil and Imodium and keep yourself nourished and hydrated. These things work over time better than they work right away. So think of it as a treatment regiment and realize that relief will come.

The CT shows that from a surgical point of view, your treatment was successful. Not that many years ago we would all have died of our maladies. You have a tough recovery from a miraculous surgery - but when you do you recover, will have life. So…
Eat the bananas, eat the yogurt, eat rice and eat dry toast, drink pedialite and ensure, and take the Imodium and Metamucil. Rail against the injustice of your illness, thank the Gods for your surgeon, And do something to occupy your time and mind between bathroom visits.

I promise you there’s an end to this. ❤️‍🩹
