On to the Better Life

This post won't be very formal.. Just a warning.

I haven't been on here to post in two weeks, so you know the drill..

When MaKenzie doesn't post for two weeks, MaKenzie does two posts in one night.

Most of you reading know why I haven't been posting, but for those of you who don't...

You ready?

I NO LONGER HAVE AN OSTOMY!

Yes, you aren't seeing things.. It is GONE. 

G-O-N-E

GONE

GONE

I'm a little excited, ya know...

But, anyways, the surgery went so well! I spent the night in ICU just so they could keep an eye on me, but I didn't have a vent, like we expected I would.

The surgery was 7 hours long, I had 6 inches of intestine removed and rehooked, I has my gallbladder removed, and I had my ostomy taken down.

OH! ANDDDDDDDDD.......

When they got in there.... I HAD NO ACTIVE DISEASE!

NO

ACTIVE
DISEASE

So, in summary, my Entivyo is straight up killin' it (I already regret saying this.. Wait until I read it years from now..).

My recovery is going pretty well, I got up and walked the next day after surgery with no problems at all. After all these years, I have finally got myself to understand that the more I walk, the better I will feel. 

I am still in shock about not having an ostomy, I am waiting on nurses to come in every four hours to give me medicine, I am waiting for a leaky ostomy.

It is so, so weird to look back and see how I spent a year of my life and how much it changed me. 

I am so excited to see what the future holds for me.
