Today is a celebration for me! Today is one year post op from my total colectomy. Today marks one year from a surgery that not only saved my life but changed my life in so many positive ways. I lost one extra long, extra loopy, dead colon and regained the ability to eat!!! It's been a bumpy road during this year of recovery; as with all major surgeries the cutting and removal of organs and tissues create new challenges that I am facing. But with faith and a lot of love and support from my family I am able to celebrate this one year mark!!
