It has been rather hectic since I arrived home on 2/16. Here is a recap of events that have happened since I last posted:
1. By Friday 2/25, I had gained 20 pounds. From the time I left the hospital until Friday, I was taking in over 4000 calories a day(2000 from TPN and drinking 8 Ensures a day).
2. On Friday when I visited my surgeon, she took me off the TPN completely and I have since been on a regular diet. Essentially, I can eat what I want.
3. I still have to take Remicade to keep the Crohn's under control. I will begin taking it again by the end of the month.
I will update my blog at least once a week from this point on. I will provide information concerning Crohn's. I have been very fortunate to have had a rather fast recovery. Those around me remind me that I did have major surgery. For me, it was surgery. I wanted to get back to normal as safely as possible.
I appreciate all the support I received! I will pass on that same support to others.
Thank you.
Until next time...
