HELLO EVERYONE! YES I AM STILL ALIVE.

What a busy few months I've had! Readers of this blog must have thought I had "kicked the bucket" so to speak, as I have not posted anything new here for a while. Since my last post (5/5/2014) I was admitted to hospital for a partial removal of the colon. After the operation I was told that 75% of my colon was removed. That was a bit of a shocker to me. But after speaking to other doctors and other qualified persons, I was told that I have nothing to worry about and will function like any other healthy human being. I spent 2 weeks in hospital, and happy to say I am well on the road to recovery. Apart from being a bit tired at times, my surgeon told me that it will take about 6 weeks for the body to adjust. All I can say is thank goodness they did not do a colostomy, which I believe is quite traumatic to endure. I must add that nursing staff at Netcare Parklands Hospital must be congratulated on their dedication and care of all patients. With that being said I am well on the road to recovery!
