Things are going well. I’m going less frequently, My appetite is getting better, and I’m getting my energy back a bit. Still really weak though, and can’t wait to get back to the gym. I’m still getting sudden urges here and there that are painful but go away almost immediately. Besides that, not much pain. The wound is taking a while to close up, but a piece of my intestine was sticking out of me after all, that was to be expected. Calmoseptine is the go to for butt burn. Seems to be helping. Looking forward to this being all over! Got down to Myrtle yesterday to visit Abby….my dog lover, and some friends out at the bar. Was out until 2:30, but didn’t risk drinking yet.  We had a good time. It was good to be out with friends and not cooped up inside today. Nothing I’ve eaten so far has given me any noticeable problems. One day at a time though! I’ll keep you posted!
