I almost feel guilty I feel so good. My bowels seem to have reset and I almost have a routine. I eat breakfast in the morning, within a half hour to two hours I may have one or two BM's. After dinner, the last three night right about 8 PM I have about an hour and a half episode of three to five BM's, usually toward the lesser number.
My stools seem to have formed up, the burning sensation while not completely gone is hardly noticeable and I have control like I have not had in the past four plus years. Like I said I almost feel like I don't deserve to be so normal. However, it is only three weeks after surgery to reverse the iliostomy. Could I have a set back, I suppose so, but it is hard to imagine. The tumor is gone, the colon was resectioned over twelve weeks ago and had ten weeks to heal before it saw any activity. The joint where the small intestine is stitched seems to be OK, after all that is now three weeks and there has been no sign of discomfort or pain. I hope nothing goes back ward. I do end up asking my self the question Do I deserve to be normal? The answer, "You bet your sweet ass I do."
