Dear @kenny66
Its time like this when I wish I could hop on a plane and sit with you in hospital.
Let you talk, probably play my music where you will (when I turn my back) make sure your own cds are plugged in.
Its time like this when I could call you and tell you how long we have plugged on at Sane forums.
Im here for you my friend,
Love Anne xx

Hi @kenny66
I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening to you. It sounds terrifying but you seem to be handling it really well, I dont think there is any easy way to go through something like this. I do think it might be good to tell your friends/family about it before surgery, because they might need some time to get through the shock of it as well and organise to be able to be there for you in hospital, which you deserve! But thats just what i think, you know yourself and your mates best,
take care,
LJ

Dear @kenny66
You're attitude to both your health issues are stoic, courageous and impressive. Sometimes a section of bowel can be removed and people live for decades after it. We will be waiting to hear from you and best wirshes.
