Well I have 2 weeks 2 days and around 8 hours (not counting) until I go into hospital to have an ileostomy reversal. Been a bit naive and ignorant of the possible poor outcome from this procedure. Have had a colostomy and then an ileostomy since May last year when a perforated bowel caused a fraction of grief. I am glad to be coming to some sort of closure (pardon the pun) but concerned as well. One thing that is pissing me off is that the day after I go in is my birthday. Due to stacks of complications after both surgeries I know most of the staff in the entire hospital so they better get me a cake and sing happy birthday or else there will be trouble.I will have to take names and kick butts! One bonus is that I will see my football team the mighty St George Dragons win the comp before I go in. For all of you who dont know who the Dragons are dont worry just get on the bandwagon with me. Only the good follow St George.
