Has it really been 3 years? What can I say but, I have no real complaints about my medical condition. I’m to the point now when I almost don’t remember what it was like not to have a J-pouch. I do think about what I went through with UC and my surgeries everyday. I also think about how grateful I am to live in a time where doctors can perform medical miracles. I think about how grateful I am for the doctors that took the time to study and be trained on how to treat UC and cancer. I think about how if, I had not had a CT scan when they were diagnosing my UC, and found the cancer in my kidney, that I would probably not be alive right now.
As look around my home and see that my kids have become teenagers and that I even have one in college, I realize how fast my life is going and how grateful I am to be around to be a part of it. Not only am I around, but I’m not sick in bed or in agony on the toilet. Today, my life is great. The past 3 years have been an absolute gift from God. I have no idea what is in store for me for the future, but I’m looking forward to really good things.
