There's been no improvement in the numbness of my feet yet. It's such an odd feeling, but one I'm okay dealing with as long as I know it'll eventually get better. What I DO feel, however, is a sensation that makes me think my body is attempting to heal that part. If you've ever had e-stim (electrical stimulation), you may understand. It's like when the dial gets turned up and you start to feel a vibration, then it gets turned down again. It happens about 2-3 times a minute, and only one foot at a time, not simultaneously. And in my fingers too. It doesn't hurt, just an odd sensation.
Next Monday at noon is my final surgery to get the ileostomy reversed. I should be in the hospital about 3 days, then recovery at home. This week is being spent finishing up my newsletters and preparing to be “down” again for a short while. This is the last leg of the journey, then I'll be whole again. I'll need to go in for regular colonoscopies and testing, but it'll all be for screening and prevention at this point.

i'm sorry your feet aren't back to normal yet, that would be so annoying! i'm sure they'll come back to you SOON! i'm thinking of you with butterflies fluttering in my tummy... but i know you will come through this with flying colors... think of you floating above the treetops, and how peaceful and beautiful that was ... relax and let it happen, and you'll be good as new.
i wish i could be there to hug you, but since i can't here's an internet hug... OOOOOHH, AAAAAHHH
ALL MY LOVE TO YOU
your sister, julie
we're already planning halloween cookies for your snacking pleasure...
We have all been hoping and praying for this day (Monday) to come. You have earned your return to good health with the courage you have shown every step of the way.
Tomorrow we will have a family reunion and I will ask for a prayer to be said in your honor.
I love you
