Fifty six years ago I had surgery for Crohn's disease. Adhesions on the adhesions formed causing a small bowel obstruction. The gift that keeps on giving. Crohn's is in remission thanks to Entyvio.

 

I was very lucky; a treatment worked and I didn't have to have surgery.

My husband has the same thing as you and has the same treatment.  I feel for you!  Not many people understand Crohn's.  You can "look fine" but I know how painful it is for him.  He's been to the hospital at least 30x - 2 resections.  Thank goodness for the IV infusions.  Hugs!

Your husband is lucky to have such an understanding wife. If you haven't tried it I recommend the Crohn's and Colitis Association website.

Re: My hairdresser thought I was dead

I'm so glad you're doing better.  And nothing like a fresh cut/color to perk you up.  How sweet of your neice, too!  Heart

 

My hair looked awful at 6 weeks, so my sweet neice did mine (licenced hairstylist) and I got it low lighted (incorporating it in with the silvery gray) and got a shag cut.  Haven't had one of those in about 40 years!
