Summer update
My blog entries seem to be more spread out as I continue to get healthier. Some days my health is not the first thing I think about when I wake up or the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. Hallelujah! This summer brought lots of new experiences and one of the biggest ones was my first big trip with my jpouch. I went to Seattle and Vancouver for 10 days and it was a fantastic experience. I took some precautions like telling my GI I would be away and he was sweet to say he would be standing by if I needed anything. I carefully packed all of my medications and enough for a few extra days for just in case and kept all my meds in my carry-on. I packed pads and pantyliners for security along with some go-to snacks. It was so fun to see friends and explore new surroundings. I took a wonderful teacher course too. However, there were some physical challenges. Eating differently didn't agree with me and I dealt with some loose stool and butt burn. Still, it was a wonderful trip
