Well surgery is going to be on the 20th and I am going to be out of work for a bunch more time. Lucky I am getting in ASAP. The surgeon thinks that he will be able to save a lot more than what my GI doctor thinks but said he will know more after pre op which is on the 13th. I am not as stressed as I was about it. And after having another flare up on Monday that is still giving me a lot of pain I feel like it can not be avoided any longer.

Good luck!

Praying all goes well and you have a speedy recovery

Add my best wishes and prayers to those above. Enduring that surgery will require courage, and all the support we can give.

Good luck on your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Well pre op went well this morning, just blood work and a lot of questions. The big take away is that the surgeon has not seen my CT scans or the results of my colonoscopy yet. That will be done while I am in prep for surgery next week. What that means to me is that the surgeon does not know yet how much of the colon he will have to remove or if I will not need open surgery just yet. During the consultation he told me that it should be a normal amount due to my age but did not have the scans yet. I let him know that I was anything but normal with having several large abscesses already. I am hoping for the best but also prepaid for the worst.

Hope it works out well for you. Take care
