How is everyone doing today?
I had my pre-op testing and final pre-op class yesterday. All my paperwork and labs are done and good to go for surgery. 6 more days.
Not taking my Crohn's meds is kicking my ass. I have massive fatigue and the joint pain is starting up. I'll be happy when surgery is all over and I can take all my meds again.

I know my hubby can come to the support groups they have at the Kane Center at no cost, there is only the $10 fee for the "patients". Granted it is not JUST for Spouses, but he can sit in on and hear about other's views.
They have them on Saturdays in Hoffman Estates. They have pre op and post op ones. Here is the link to the support groups:
