You all are so sweet!

I've had a couple of pm's about my pouch, so I thought I'd just update you all at once.

Things are better...I am not in as much pain as I was before I started the meds.  I still am being careful about what I eat (avoiding spicy, raw veggies, NUTS!)  My pouchy is still sore, especially first thing in the morning, but it looks like the meds ARE helping!

I had to call and update Crystal yesterday.  She felt that I had irritated or maybe even "scratched" (that's not the word she used, but I can't think of how she said it) my stomach.  So, since it's better, she wants me to stay on the prevacid and carafate for 14 days to make sure it stays good and then I can go without them.  Of course, I have to call if anything changes!

So, thank you all for your concern and support!  I appreciate it!
hugs,
Ruth
