I had an appointment this morning with Dr. Degges, and after telling him how great I have been feeling he decided that if I am feeling fine then there wasn't any reason to do the surgery! I asked him about the chance of it coming back again especially if it happened while I was pregnant and if it would have any additional risks. He said that since I was able to handle the pain and symptoms before there was no reason why I couldn't do it again. It might be unpleasant, but the chances of something life threatening happening is very rare. He said that I would need to get another colonoscopy or CT scan at some point in the future to keep an eye on it. I am ecstatic! It was hard for me to convince myself that I needed to have this surgery when I feel fine, knowing that it was going to be a difficult time and a long recovery, so I am glad that I don't have to deal with that at least right now! Thanks for all the thoughts and especially the prayers!
