Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.
The surgery went well yesterday. I am a bit sore, but otherwise doing well. I've walked a couple of times, but that front is slow going. The big test will be Sunday when they take out the packing and change the dressing.
Yahoo! I'm getting outta here this afternoon. The next couple of weeks will be fun given the quarter sized hole that needs to heal up, but other than that, its good to be farting again.
I did ask the nurses and doctors to pull my finger whenever they asked if I passed gas. It got a good laugh most of the time.
I just hope the hole heals quickly. It hurts when I move and I'm try to stay off the percoset. I have been on Tylenol since Friday (I think) when they took the pain pump away. Its kept the pain manageable for now.
