(who had ulcerative colitis) had a colectomy a year ago February and a take down in June 4 months later. As Warpy said it comes with it's own set of issues but he is dealing with those issues very well.

It is so good to see him healthy. This past winter is the first in the 14 years I've know him, that he hasn't been hospitalized and in very poor health.

good luck to you!!
