Since surgery in November 2011, Marty's health, ease and energy have improved significantly. We have begun to live more fully and fearlessly, as threats of digestive discomfort for Marty have lessened. Both of us are sleeping, eating and living with increased ease and confidence. Life seems like a day in the country after many years of health related anxiety.
Recent glitches, however, indicate that all is not ideal and perfect (as it never is for anybody anyway). Marty has had several episodes of digestive unease that alert us to attend to food choices and quantities. In other words, his digestive system is working far more effectively, but still can't be unduly challenged. Difficult to digest foods such as pizza or potatoes need to be taken in small amounts, as they can potentially cause big discomfort, especially in larger portions.
We are thus learning as we go along. I do get a bit of PTSD when Marty feels ill, like the whole long wearying nightmare of him being constantly sick is returning. But this is just my anxiety, not a reality, and there is no reason for concern.
May life continue in this fashion of us living normally and learning from glitches with ease!
