MY CROHN'S SURGERY: STEP BY STEP WHAT HAPPENED + WHAT I WISH I KNEW
Hey there! Melyssa here. I am a Crohnie in Colorado and this is one of many videos that I hope will create a safe, fun, educational and collaborating environment where those with autoimmune disease or invisible illnesses can come and hang out. It is important to remember that though a hidden illness is tough, we are never alone! So let’s talk about all of that embarrassing stuff TOGETHER
This is just MY experience and am speaking as a patient, not a medical provider. The best person to get medical advice is from your doctor. This video is created with the intention of explaining my Crohn's Disease surgery to provide some awareness of the process and hopefully not make it as intimidating! Please remember that this surgery was apart of my journey, not a necessary step for people with Crohns. I hope that this video provides comfort in knowing you are never alone!

As someone who has Crohn's, sometimes I get a flare or need to take it easy on my digestive track which is why I go low fiber.

    I also suffer from chronic neck pain and migraines. I’ve had several surgeries and now have a pain pump implant, which doesn’t completely cover the pain. Just had a block of c4-6, did have some relief, now facing second procedure before ablation. Do hope it helps you , you’re so young .

    Im on the low fiber diet because I found out that I have meckel's diverticulum…. After all of these years, no clue. Well, it perforated and had to go into emergency surgery. Took a good portion of my small intestines and my appendix (to avoid appendicitis down the road, I suppose). So low fiber as my innards heal.

    If I didn’t have children and a full-time job it’d be so much easier. I push through work everyday and by the time I get home I crash hard. I can’t do anything. Weekends are when I try to get things done but I usually spend it sleeping because I’m still recovering from the week. It’s so depressing. I’m tempted to take my two weeks of vacation to rest and then try to slowly tackle the house that has literally fallen apart over the last two years of my CFS.

    "My" RFA of the lumbar and sacral spine was a disaster. It was a painful 50 minutes with no sedation. It was very painful for weeks afterward. No pain meds. The pain post-op pain continued and at week 5 the surgeon said it "did not" take. The nerves were severed, so what happened. She did not answer.

    I just had this done, on my lower back, three days ago. It wasn't that bad. He gave me lots of Lidocaine. I didn't even take any sedation. He said, I did well. I thanked him. I'm not in much pain now either. The first day, it felt like my foot or leg does, after it had fallen asleep and woke up again. It only tingled, like that, when I laid down on it. The second day, it only did that, when I carried half basket of clothes. I went shopping, with the bus and was fine in the store and on the bus. The third day, I didn't hurt. I even did the dishes, which, usually, hurts a lot. He said it could last 18 months. I hope he's right.

    These are truly good strategies and I will be watching 2 or 3 times to get it down. I wish I could throw all the “onion wrappers” from counter to the floor but the assumption there is that I will have energy to then vacuum. I won’t. My illness allows me far less spoons in a day. I can clean the bathtub, sink & toilet then I’m finished FOR THE DAY. Next day I can clean the br floor and I could easily be finished for the day. I can do some laundry and that’s it for the day. Next day I may not be able to do anything. I would like to know about others whose lives/illness is like this.

      Me too but I can see how these tips would help someone with mild or moderate chronic illness and I will watch the rest ( I'm 5 minutes in) to see if any hacks I can use. Long handled tools like grabbers and a long handled kitty litter scoop are 2 things that help me as well as a suggestion on other videos to find a way to do tasks like ironing, weeding the garden ect seated. But yeah I cannot do even a moderate activity for 30 minutes straight! Addendum: Well watched the whole thing. Not practical for low income people with moderate to severe chronic illness but glad it exists to help people with less severe chronic illness 😊

    Giving myself permission to rest has been really important for me. Thanks for the helpful video. You're honest & have integrity and shouldn't apologise for your views. Just doing one thing at a time helps, or I can get overwhelmed jumping from task to task. Staying off socials and my phone for most of the day (usually 9:30-4:30) so I remember that I like to read and journal and make art etc, offline things also helps. I also love walking in nature & regular hot baths. I don't know what you're up to lately but I hope you post more content in the future, if you're able to.

    I am 💯 with you on the salad dressing!!! You can even cook recipes with different salad dressings as well. I love that about them. Crock pot: chicken & "sweet honey Catalina" Crock pot: chicken with "zesty Italian" have it with chicken flavored rice. Crock pot: olive garden chicken pasta - look it up online for all the items needed but it needs it's "olive garden Italian" Russian dressing is so good on pot roast and potatoes. And I know lots of people love ranch on their pizza.
