Thank you SD, I have been thinking of you lately, and hope all is well. If these meds can get this all under control, I MAY be able to avoid at least one surgery. But for now I am battling a series of infections all through my stomach and intestines. The last one almost killed me!! seriously.

Things aren't "well" yet, but, for the first time in 5 1/2 months, I'm living without intense pain on an hourly basis. I really hope this last surgery was "the one" that fixes me and allows me to lead a somewhat normal existence once again. My social life for the past few months have been limited to stopping at the shop on my way back from appointments and treatments at UPMC Passavant. It's about time to get my life back.
I hope this batch of meds works for you. Systemic infections are no joke, and (from recent experience) can be VERY painful. Besides, who really wants to have more surgeries than necessary?
It's great to have you back on the forum.
