Hello everyone from the hospital!
I was admitted on Thursday 8/8 for uncontrolllable diarrhea, which I've had for 18 months now but suddenly it worsened. I was going 12+ times a day and not able to keep much in my, including my meds.
I know I'm where I need to be, but it's just so frustrating how slow the process moves! Day 1 I had IV fluids and pain meds. Day 2 IV fluids, pain meds and colonoscopy prep. Day 3 IV fluids, pain meds, colonoscopy and endoscopy. Now on Day 4 I wait for the results and hopefully then we'll start some sort of actual treatment. The initial colonoscopy showed pancolitis - I only had recto-sigmoid involvement before. Rectum is now healed and the rest is inflamed. Endo looked perfectly normal.
I'm nervous about what the day will bring, but hopeful that my doctors will offer something that will help me quickly heal my colon and get me on the way to getting well. DH and I celebrate our 12th anniversary this October, and my goal is to be healthy enough to go to Vegas for my first time!
Take care everyone.
