May 11, 2008 my k-pouch is officially 1 year old and I'm celebrating!
Not only is it a year with my new pouch (which by the way is doing great) but it also marks.....
- A year since I've spent the night in the hospital well my discharge after my surgery was on the 21st but we're close enough
- Over a year since I've been to the ER
- A year since I've had any surgery or procedure under anesthesia
- 6 months since I've seen my surgeon
- 4 months since I've seen my GI
On my k-pouch birthday I had a gigantic meal at a fantastic Tex-Mex Restaurant in San Antonio with my in-laws which was followed up by 6 hours at 6 Flags San Antonio. In my old j-pouch days a meal at a restaurant like that would've had me running to the bathroom every hour for the next 4 hours but on my special day I emptied not long after we got to the park and not again until just before dinner later that night! I road roller-coasters and had a great time and never once wondered where the nearest bathroom was!!! Its a land-mark occasion I tell you and I am thrilled beyond words with my new pouch.
Here's a couple of pictures of me, Shon and his sister Laura riding the ride "Scream" (basically the Power Tower if you're familiar with Cedar Point). It was awesome!!
To all my friends and family thanks so much for all your love and support, I couldn't have made it this far without you all. This will probably be my last pouch posting for a while - hoping that I'll have another hospital-free year and a fabulous Feza's 2nd birthday to report!
love,
katie
