Just had my possibly last surgery for closing my loop illeostomy. This is supposed to be the easiest one. Needless to say this had been rough. Bleeding out my bum, pain meds barely touching the pain, puking after having an ice lolly and getting a straight catheter every few hours has been less that fun. Ugh.

Thank you. I am just bitter enough that I will have to keep fighting! I am in a LOT of pain right now.

Sorry to read that. I hope for the best possible outcome for you.

Still have yet to sell one at our store. Not to mention, it looks and feels hideous.

I just found out that there’s a chance I might have a recurrence of my liver disease PSC Well I’m going to have to go in for a procedure. A PTC (Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography) which basically means I’m going to have a tube(s) to drain my liver for 2-6 months. Last time I had to go through this was before my second transplant. It’s not a guarantee that it’s a recurrence of the PSC but because of my history the doctors think it’s more likely that not it’s back. I’ve felt extremely fortunate to have received two transplants & to get a second and third chance at life. But right now the thought of going through all this again seems so difficult. Especially the drains put in my liver. The last time it was extremely painful. I ended up being put on fentanyl patches. That was a nightmare in it’s own right. Hoping that I don’t have to have another transplant, but if I do I’ll be one of the only hockey players that have had 3 transplants. Wish me luck
