Hi. I am new to the forum and was just diagnosed with Crohn's on 8/5/2013. I have an active abscess in the terminal ileum and am facing ileocecal resection. I had a small stroke on 8/26 at work. Thankfully my coworkers jumped into action to call 911 and contact family members. I spent three days in the hospital. The symptoms resolved and I am doing fine for now. This has added a new layer of complexity and stress to the upcoming surgery (which is delayed for the moment because of the stroke). I have read that some with Crohn's can develop a blood clotting disorder, as the blood is stickier. Anyone else here been through the same thing and had surgery, with success? Just a bit stressed and trying to chill at this critical time
