Second Surgery

Tomorrow I go for a colonoscopy to check to see that all has healed from my surgery on April 24th. If we get a good report from the gastroenterologist, then I'll be admitted to the hospital on Sunday, June 1 and have what I hope will be my final surgery on Monday, June 2. The plan is to close the ileostomy and reconnect the small intestine to the large, making me "whole" again for the first time in 14 years! I dread having surgery again - it sure isn't my idea of fun - but really do look for all of this to be behind me. Thanks again to all of the support I've received. Please keep those prayers going - that the procedure tomorrow will prove that I'm ready for surgery and that the surgery on Monday goes well and everything works as it should.
