Although the reformat has rendered this forum a bit of a ghost town, I will fall back on an old pattern and note that yesterday was the sixth anniversary of my colectomy. At that time, with a major blockage, I had no idea if I would survive another day, no less another year. I figured if I could survive ten years, I would be a very lucky person. And here I am, embarking on my seventh year, living a relatively normal life. For those of you first facing these issues, in many cases, it gets better. I wish you all the best and I send a warm greeting to old friends.
