the short answer

Sept 12: Remicade as an outpatient in the hospital for 4 hours.

Sept 13: Scheduled surgery to resect bad part of intestine.

Sept 18: Taken to the Emergency Room with severe pain, fever, chills.

Sept 19: With a white count of over 30 and my CT scan results it was of to the operating room for emergency surgery. My surgery inside had came apart and leaked into my gut. Inflammation and infection on an amazing level.

Sept 20: Learn I am going to be on TPN, have a PICC line, have an ileostomy bag, test my blood sugar, have an open wound with my mucus fistula in the middle of it and be on a crap load of pills and injections. Until December when hopefully I get another surgery to reverse all of this.

Sept 28: Acquire 3 fungal infections on top of it as well.

Oct 1: I'm released home with the above mentioned stuff and many ups and downs. Like down to 124llbs.

That is where I have been, that is all the worst case scenario stuff that has happened. I'm at home now though, under virtual house arrest as I am connected to stuff that cant leave the house the whole time. Hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks my wound will be healed and that will be one less thing.

So what am I going to do? I can't really leave the house and cant lift anything over like 5lbs. Heck, I can only shower 3 times a week!!

I'm back! Thanks for your love, prayer and concerns.
