I'm now 8 days post-takedown and I feel amazing! I had my first real (like formed!!!) bowel movement today and it reminded me of the good old days before UC crippled my life. It's weird because up until just two days ago, I was struggling with reglan and an NG tube in the hospital. As soon as both of those were removed, I feel like I'm on top of the world. I finally came home today from the hospital. I know there's still a long way to get to 100% but I already feel better than I did when the UC wasn't even too bad. The ostomy bag wasn't bad (and if I ever need to go back to it, I won't worry much) but not having one rocks. Just wanna say thank you to everyone who's helped with my questions the last few months. And I'm sure I'll have a lot more the coming months but till then, gonna enjoy my rice soup and meatball dinner!
