Second stage J-pouch complete

Okay, Friday I went through the second stage of the three stage Ileoanal Anastomosis (j-pouch). I don't know if it was because I was so sick last time or what, but this procedure went very well. Today is the only day I have felt any pain at all and I would describe it as being really sore. I just got discharged, but I am staying at a hotel next to the Mayo Clinic until tomorrow, then I will head home. I will complete the final stage of this procedure in January. Thanks to all of you have given me advice, encouragement, and support.
