A little update. Skin expanders are in and so far so good had first saline injection and all went well. Just a slight finger infection on the knuckle. #burnsurvivor #tuneup #scartissue #plasticsurgery

Life is hard, but we are survivors.

I am also a #burnsurvivor and every now and then I need to go for a little tune up. Shortened my pinky tendon, due to a break and a skin expander on arm to replace scar tissue. 2nd surgery on 6-8 weeks. This will be the last surgery, I am getting tired and need to accept what I have is what I got.

Inflammatory bowel disease: Which diets might keep it at bay? A plant-based diet made up of mainly nutrient-dense plant foods, or an equally healthy omnivorous diet may help reduce the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

A nutrient-rich #plant-based diet may reduce the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD) including #Crohn's disease and #ulcerative #colitis, and decrease the need for surgery in diagnosed patients. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/die...

my partner has ulcerative colitis. next time he’s in the bathroom i’m gonna refer to that as his “space flight”

I had to Google mayo scale. Would you believe I have never heard of that scale before. Things that make you go hmmm!

Aww the good ole anal intrusion. Tell the doc to use lots of lube, we've taken it dry for too long. You might get a laugh or a really bad eye roll.

Ulcerative colitis yes has potential to affect liver via primary schlorosing colongitis. Hardening of the liver bile ducts. And ya have cysts all over my internal body, shoulder, pancreas, stomach lining. Most likely find many more as time goes on. I just plan on outliving them.

Start writing a pooping song. Make it a good jingle 😁

You can do it!

I underestimated the acid shits. One good thing is when you fart you know you are done. Kinda weird but mostly true. Ha ha ha. Whole new world. 😂

Yep these surgeries mess with your sex life. Talk to your doctor about dick pills. Sorry, medication for erectile dysfunction. Just don't overdo it. If you are prescribed a med try a fraction of the pill first. They really do a thing in your body, make you dizzy etc.

Yep that's it. You will never have a "normal" turd ever again, but you will adjust. Oh and dehydration will always be a thing. Grape G-Zero is my go to.

There is a really awesome jpouch group on Facebook you might want to check out so you are prepared for your reversal. My recommendation is get a bidet.

Have to admit your skin around it looks good.

OMG! Love it 😂😂😂

Oh and metamucil and water helps stop the explosions.

I eat gluten free, a Banana a day when needed and rice as often as possible. Surprisingly Asian foods such as mild Curry's don't make my life hell. Oh and no sugar, sugar bad, stevia is where it is at and watch the other sweeteners that have complicated names.

I destroy the bathroom at work pretty much daily, and I take full ownership. I also have a coffee mug that says one fart away from a shit.

I do hope it helps. Just remember we are survivors!

Rice and bananas are my friends. I don't have an ostomy anymore but a jpouch. Western food and I do not get along. A banana smoothie or a good curry, very mild spice and rice are my new best friends. Even a good Korean bulgogi beef and rice helps settle my stomach. Also try gluten free.

Had my bi-yearly Hepatologist appointment yesterday. #psc is under control and my liver has been able to heal.

Wow! I have had PSC for over 25 yrs and liver transplant has never been discussed .

I guess each person is different. I have been on ursodiol on and off for years and it keeps my PSC at bay.

Had it most my life. Was prescribed ursodiol and my blood work was good. One GI took me off it my liver tests too a nice dive. Back on ursodiol and results looking better. In my situation It means I can't drink alcohol, if I do I turn into a girl drink drunk. Half a glass and I am spent.

Wow! Things that make you go hmmm!

Been there done that bought the T-shirt. Don't recommend.

Hey, elites, politicians, and those in power!
Dystopian novels are 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, not 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 for building the perfect state!
You’re not supposed to read "1984" or "The Handmaid's Tale" and think, “𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦.” 🙃

Appears religion is all cock and balls.
