As I said the crohns came back after about six- eight weeks,each time I have had to go back on Prednisolone,most surgeries it's been between8-10 years,only because I have not wanted to go down surgery route at the time,and have had to live on medication and stints in and out of hospital,But now my Terminal Ileium is almost closed and its a case of I have to have this surgery,to be honest with all this illness over the years it's a wonder I have,nt ended up with a severe mental illness,Oh I,ve cried lots of times and have felt sorry for myself,why should,nt we!!!!!!!!but I have carried on,mainly cos I have people round me who I love very much,my kids,my husband,my brothers and sisters,but sometimes you wonder how much more of this you can actually put up with,One thing tho,if everything is ok with this next op,I really do not want anymore after this,enough is enough.
