Well it wouldn't grow my colon back but I'll take what I can get!
This just got me and I needed a good laugh so thank you.
Going on my seventht day of COVID, getting worse, and my scumbag immune system has decided this isn't nearly as interesting as the large intestine and everything south of it that it took a few years back.
C'mon, little help here?!
I got COVID before the vaccines came out and I was surprisingly unfased by it, I was iffy for a few days but besides not being able to taste or smell for about 6 months I was fine. My wife however had to be hospitalised and she's healthier than I am so I feel like I got very lucky.
I hope you get through it quickly and start feeling better!
Thank you, I had it before and pulled through ok, I started feeling better after an epic nap today.
Must have been terrifying for you while your wife was ill.
A few months before anyone even heard of COVID a friend of ours who was a runner and what not was in the ICU with double pneumonia for a long time and they had no idea at all what it was. We all assume it was COVID now but no one said it was (it's not like they could have tested her for it). Pretty wild.
Right?! Just a way to be able to live somewhat normally would be amazing!
I wonder if it'll be an anti-autoimmunity for life, or if we'd have to get regular doses like with Remicade.
Not gonna lie, I'm gonna be salty for a long time if a shot can fix my Crohn's, since about 6 years ago I got a permanent ostomy bag -_- can't give me back my ass hole.
They've had some real breakthroughs growing organs in pigs so don't lose hope, you might get both at the same time!
Same. Lol.
Every time I read or hear about ablations, I cant help having a thought about the phantom pain phenomenon. In your that that would be a real pain in the ass.
I have had the same operation and sometimes feel like I have to "go". It's really weird. Sorry if tmi.
Maybe pig colons are next up on the transplant list.
Man I don't know if I want more surgery at this point, but solid poops would be interesting I guess.
I'm good. I'm in and out in minutes. Yes, I get less reading done, but I have way more time for other activities.
Edit: plus road trips are so much better, no more dealing with horrifyingly gross gas station bathrooms.
