This forum has been awesome since I got diagnosed, I've gotten a lot of great info and words of encouragement on here and I wanna thank anyone who has given me advice or answered a question on here, I tend to do more asking than anything it seems. I'm still in a screwed up sleep schedule because we don't do light duty at my job for stuff like this, I can't workout or grapple again(not just yet but soon :) ) and, frankly, the best TV is on late at night. Anyway, I'm in a good mood about things and figured here better to blab about that a bit then on here with tons of people who understand. Anyone reading this who hasn't ever seen anything of mine here, I had an ileostomy bag put on me in August 2009 and just had it taken off this past December. Why do I need to reiterate this? Because, just this past Sunday night was the first time since August 4th of 2009 that I went to bed without some tape or glue holding some sort of gauze or poop-catching contraption attached to my stomach. Holy crap(no pun intended) I'm so thrilled. That's all. Thanks for reading my meandering babble and, again, answering or helping me out to anyone who has. Everyone here is so helpful and friendly. I'm not always so cheery sounding(Crohn's notwithstanding) but darn it's hard as hell to be sad without tape or paste on your stomach. :)
