Down but not Out!!

I'MMM BAACK!! Just dropping a few lines to let everyone know what's been going on with me lately. I was admitted to the hospital on Aug. 26 for severe complication from Crohn's Disease. Three weeks later, surgery to remove my entire colon. Dec. 31, 2004 mother passes from cardiac arrest. At that time, I'm was still hopitalized from Aug. 26, 2004. Also, at that time I was being fed through a I.V. drip, and due to my weakened condition the doctor would not even give me a temporary release to attend my mother's funeral. I came home on Jan. 31, 2005.

I'm currently trying to regain my strength and normal weight.

I plan on coming to the March 5th Dyno day. No promises on that end.

I feel just plain ole beat up, physically and emotionally. Every day it gets better, but not always easier. Even if you don't hear much from me, I'm still lurking about. I'm down but not out.
