Enjoy the calm before the storm, Kenny. Seriously.

Glad everything went well. Getting reversed was one of the happiest days of my life.

Enjoy the good drugs and all the attention.

Glad everything went well Kenny! Although I didn't have a temp ileo - from what I've read, it sounds like a similar experience afterward. One thing that saved my life. Metamucil. I still take it (choke it down) every day. Play around with the mixture, how much metamucil, how much water, etc.

Good luck!

Please beer through an IV may make him more of a bubbly personality, than He already is. Let me guess, you woke up, you looked down, and the morphine was not the reason for the smile on your face 8)
You will be even more enthused, in a few months.

Don't hurt your neck, it won't grow back without you knowing it :shock: Yea, I know, you woke up looked down, felt around ever so tenderly, and even that whirr of machines, and lines going in and out of your body, could not wipe that shit eating grin off your face. Take it easy .
