Great blog. I think talking about things even if it's through blogs or community sites like this really help getting through and adjusting to it all. It has helped me through UC, my colectomy and not my j-pouch creation and I'm sure I'll lean on everyone with my reversal and beyond.
I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on getting your life back!
I think the main thing that anything like this does is show you that you're not the only person suffrfing like this.
It's very easy to feel isolated and think that what you're suffering is unique t you, but forums or blogs show you that other people suffer from the same thing ... you're not alone. Once you know you're not alone you can get other peoples' experiences and realise that you can get through or live with your symptoms.
I know that when I was called to the hospital to ge told I have a bowel tumour, the first thing I did when I got home was to google for forums.
