I thought I’d be ready to go back to work last week, but reality set in and so did the pain. I have to re-train my bowels how to function again and it’s been extremely painful. So much so, I spent most of this past week in bed everyday. We saw the surgeon on Thursday for a post-op checkup and he said my symptoms and pain are normal and that it will take a while for my bowels to start acting normal.
I’m going to try and go back to work on Monday and I’ll see how it goes.

Hey Dale – As they say on “Wheel of Fortune” –
“I’d like to buy a bowel.”
I hope the pain stops soon. That can’t be much fun. Take your time recuperating…you need to let your body adjust to these new circumstances! Rest easy and know that we’re all in your corner.
