hello! im new to this group, my nmae is jen im 31 yrs old i have a great husband
brian and 2 great kids ben4 ashlyn2 .i got ulcerative colotis in the summer of
2005,2  yrs later it got so bad that 2 small holes formed in my lg intestine and
a huge abcsess formed on the whole left side of my abdomen and i had to have
emergency surgey or i was going to die and they decided to take the whole thing
out cause it was so damaged from the colotis,i also was put into a medically
induced coma till alot of the abscess was gone and so the surgery could
heal.they were going to do the reversal but it turned out the stump they left
had colotis 2 so they removed that,so now i have an illestomy for life.ive come
to terms with it for the most part,but i really need to talk to people who know
exactly what im talking about,dont get me wrong i have a great support system,my
husband is amazing,i cant believe after all this he still finds me
attractive,but the only people who
could truly understand are the people have one and lived through it
