It has been 8 months after my surgery for crohns disease. I feel great! Within 2 months of being out of the hospital, I went from 125 lbs to 150 1bs. Right now, I'm holding steady at around 167 lbs. My treatment to suppress crohns is Remicade. I see my G.I. doctor every 8 weeks and the medication is given through an IV. People have asked about my diet. I can eat whatever I choose; no limits. Physically, I'm fine. I volunteered to be a T-ball head coach this fall. It has been a thrill to spend time with my son during this season! It has also been amazing being a positive role model for my team. The ability to teach not only sports but life lessons to these kids is very rewarding. I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to be able to give to others. Ten months ago, I couldn't give or do anything for myself. So now I seize the moment to do what I can to help others. I can live with crohns and one day I know that crohns will be gone. Until that time, I control it and live!
Until next time.
