Home From The Hospital Again (Long Post)
Well I am home from the hospital. I have a huge ulcer in my pouch that extends down in to my intestines. 
The ulcer is covering about 70 percent of my pouch. They have started new meds to see if they can get the ulcer to clear its self the if nots are very ugly and I am not even going to think about them. The ulcer has eaten all the way through the pouch walls. Because everything is so inflamed every time I eat it really ticks it off and that is where the pain is comming from. So I am back to liquids and soft foods for a month till it goes away (AND IT WILL) 
They did 28 bags of iv fluids while I was in the hospital. While there I gained 8 pounds. Before they started all the fluids I did weigh in at 317. This brings me to a total of 67 pounds lost total. 
They also had a psycologist come in and talk to me while I was there. The doc and his wife saw the emotional toll all the problems are having on me. The more upset I get the worse the ulcer will get. So I have to learn to let go of my stress. I knew it was something I needed to work on but never realized that it could kill me. Today has not been bad. I have gotten some veggie soup and some chicken and dumplings down. Fluids are still low but if you add the broth from the soup and chicken I am about on target. My goal now is to get through each day without being sick and without pain. If I lose weight I lose it. If not at least I am alive. Refusing to stress over this any more.
Thanks for listening.
