Today marks six months of being in remission!Six months ago today I had an emergency resection due to blockage.I was dx four days later with CD once the tests from the resected piece came back.I consider the day of my resection as the 'official' start of this journey for me,not the day I was diagnosed.
I found the Forum soon after coming home from the hospital.I can't thank everyone enough for the support! It has,and does,help me so much.All you Crohnies have been very patient and sharing..it really helps us newbies cope and get a grip on our new normal.
I may get knocked on my ass tomorrow...but I will be happy today.
My surgery was three days before Thanksgiving.I was diagnosed the day after Thanksgiving.I can still remember the aroma of turkey dinners being delivered to the other patients.M,M,M,M...I had a package of crackers.I admit,I was quite thankful for those crackers.
At the age of 50,my resection was my first ever surgery.I never stayed in the hospital before either.Neither was on my bucket list.
Thanks again to everyone for all the support! Six months in remission and counting...and I am having my turkey dinner today! WooHoo!!
