Just a quick 8 month update re: my Jpouch, although not much has changed.
Also a reference to a friend's website about HIS experience with UC and a colectomy in the '70s. Here is his you tube link...    • Ulcerative Colitis in 1975 - Ileostom...  
And finally, I'm planning on making a sort of "tribute" video for those of us dealing with and going through this CRAZY process but the video would also (hopefully) be a source of information for others, so I ask those of you I've communicated with in the past for a favor! :)
