Thank goodness my dad got me a laptop, because I would be uber disconnected and depressed right now without. After all, I've been in the hospital for about a month and people are tired of visiting. Understandable. It's an awful place to spend free time. It's just so nice to be able to connect with people in some way... internet. Also, I've been able to work on my music, watch movies, and listen to music. So for my sanity, thank you, Dad.
Today was much like yesterday as far throwing up and whatnot, but my mood has been much better. I think it's because I've been able to nibble on a mashed potato for the last 6 hours. Food... what else can I say? It's amazing.
I've been up and about walking twice today with a notable improvement in my strength. Getting in and out of bed is easier, and I can take slightly longer and faster strides. I could see envy in some of the older peoples' eyes when I flew around the corners of the hallway. That's right... I'm young. I'm strong. I am Hercules.
Unfortunately, the doctor was in and out within 30 seconds today as I was waking up trying to think of what I had planned to ask him. He did mention that the tests returned and everything so far points to Crohn's instead of the less severe Ulcerative Colitis. No big surprise though. Do you what you gotta do, right?
For a video tour of my tummy...

Sorry to gross people out! I'm in Lewisville Medical Center.
You're one tough ostomy bag ... uh, I mean dude!!!!
Ha ha couldn't resist :) Glad you got a laptop. They will really call you Hercules & swear a new consolation will be made when you heal 10x faster than those old guys!
