Jpouch Feels Much Better; So Do I

My jpouch definitely feels better having had the exploratory surgery last Wednesday.  I measure this by pain (gone!), urgency (greatly diminished), and frequency (way, way down).  In fact these were all true starting one day after the procedure.  I attribute this to the antibiotics, which I'm still taking.  I've been using the steroid suppositories twice a day for several days now, which must also be helping a lot.

Less pain means, of course, less pain.  I finally stopped taking the serious pain killers, and have even reduced the amount of Advil I need.  Less urgency means greater peace of mind, less running pell-mell through the house risking stubbed toes, upturned furniture, and the like.  And lower frequency means more sleep!

I can actually begin a project, or an email, or a conversation, or dinner, and feel confident that it won't be interrupted every 20 minutes.

And when my jpouch feels better, I feel better!
