I started this blog for two reasons. The first being a way for me to vent. There are many times that feelings and frustrations build up, and writing helps relieve that tension. There are other times that I want to shout out to the world when something good happens. This blog has been a great outlet for me to do this. My husband no longer has to hear me repeat the same things over and over again, and I get the relief I need. It's a win-win situation.
The other reason is because most of what I saw on the internet relating to chronic pouchitis was such a downer. I was diagnosed with chronic pouchitis almost 1 year to the day after my first surgery. After searching chronic pouchitis on the internet all I saw was the negative. I could not find much that would give me hope that I could live the life I wanted after surgery. As I learned to live with chronic pouchitis, I wanted to share with others that it is possible. I wanted to share my experience with a positive, uplifting blog to help others in the same position I once was in.
I cannot say how many people I have helped, but I can say this blog has helped me tremedously.
