There was no miracle.....

I was taking tons of pics and in a good mood for the awesome blog post I was going to make tonight about how it all went great and I'm gonna be healed up and awesome soon. (for quick results go straight to the bottom of the post)

That post is not going to get written. At least not today. Hopefully in the future.

I was able to do 75% of the prep before I started to vomit. So I just did a couple of enemas to finish the job. Work went awesome yesterday and I got paid so really it wasn't that bad. Just puking into the sink sucks.

I was a little anxious and didn't sleep well. I bought a brand new BMX bike yesterday with part of my paycheck and had the excitedness of a new toy and the nervousness of the procedure today.

That leads to sleeping on the couch and playing Moto Forza 3 all morning. Which was fine and helped calm me down a little. I got to the hospital on time, they got my IV easily. Heck the chair I was waiting in had heat and massage. Take that HMO. haha.

I puked a bit after the surgery in recovery and was very shaky. I also had a messed up EKG for a while so they kept checking my heart. Which is funny that I also had to have a stress echo test earlier this year for chest pain. All this fake cardiac stuff better never turn real!

Basically though I'm sorry to make you read this far to get the simple point that today's hoped for result did not happen. The clip could have worked, but due to the nature of my intestine they were unable to get the tools to that area of my gut. To much scarring and anatomical issues due to past surgery and disease. They would have tore a hole in my intestine if they tried.

What does this all mean? What is the bottom line?
-the intervential gastroenterologist could not get his fancy surgical tool stuff to the part of my intestine where they wanted to work.
+ no active crohn's disease was found while they were looking around.
-i will need to have real, big zipper, cut me totally open surgery again.
+ not much intestine will have to be removed this time.
+ the humira seems to be working.
- i'm sad today didn't work. at all. i had a lot of hope today would be "the day". it wasn't.
