I have to go for a "Pre-Procedure" appointment at the hospital on Thirsday afternoon. Then on Friday, I start on a clear liquid diet. Saturday night is laxative time, and on Sunday, I get to have 2 laxative COCKtails.
My friend Shannon is taking me to the hospital on Monday morning. They won'tlet me come alone, for someone has to be there to hear the results and to be able to remember it all and to drive me home.
They SAY I am not to drive for 24 hours after that, but I always go to school the next day.
I am really nervous that they will find more polyps and will want to do a permanent ileostomy this time.
The last year was bad, having those 2 major surgeries, but at least I got the reversal. Please pray that all is well and that I get to keep my normalcy.
Thanks to all!~
(Sept 2003, I had a temporary ileostomy, was in the hospital for 8 days and then out of work for 6 weeks. The surgeon removed 12 inches of my large intestine and all of teh rectum, but he built a new one for me. I had to have an ileostomy bag for 4 months; January 2004 I had the reversal, was in the hospital for 17 days, then out of work for 4 mroe weeks, lost to 67 pounds)
