There’s also a Jon Stewart crotch-slip that’s super hot.
What do you say?
The shitting out your navel thing is scary as hell, but obviously the long-term is a better alternative.
-Jeff Putz in the comments section of my previous post. (For the record, at no point in a colectomy is the navel actually used.)
While comments like that would probably offend a lot of people, it’s responses like this that I wish I received more often. Reading that or hearing Jeanine...
Cut me open...I'm ready
At the end of my meeting with a nurse practitioner at the Cleveland Clinic, I set up an appointment to see a colorectal surgeon, Dr. Remzi. The idea was that he could evaluate my situation and offer a good pro-surgery opinion to offset all the pro-medication advice that other doctors had given so far.

Most doctors will say that 10mg is the largest amount you can safely taper per week when above 20mg (even less at a time when below that). In my awesomeness, I managed to taper myself by 2.5...
