Sunday, June 29, 2008 ~ Prednisone Taper & Ileostomy Surgery Procedure

Posted in ulcerative colitis with tags , , , , on June 29, 2008 by bellyluv0sofine

Its been very hot this weekend (90 today) and I have tried to act like I am not miserable about it, but I am. The prednisone taper is not going well. I have much pain in the evenings and two accidents again today, alothough am on 40 mgs. Ugh! Tomorrow I call the doc and see whats up.

I think I am worried about whats coming up, the surgery and all and I am somewhat anxious. I just found a great site speccific to the surgery with very good explanation: The J Pouch Group at http://jpouch.org/.

I came across Mark and Megan’s amazingly helpful blog, which includes photos after the temporary ileostomy. Thank you so much Mark and Megan!
