    • About Me

      Hi - my name is Jen. My hubby has( or *HAD*) UC. On 9/10/09 he had j-pouch surgery. So he has a temporary ileostomy and will eventually have the "take-down" surgery in early December 09. Just trying to learn more about UC and how other people have dealt with the different challenges along the way... diet, medicines, surgery, recovery, colostomy, adjusting to life in general after surgery... etc...

      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes keeping busy after I woke up in the middle of the night would help me to feel tired enough to fall asleep again. other times it would not help at all.
