Self Acceptance
Hello and welcome to blog 5. Please support my blog and comment. Almost 2 weeks ago I visited my gastroenterologist for a consult. Dr spent a great deal of time explaining in detail my condition, leading to possible reasons to my surgery 12 years ago. We discussed my diet, my symptoms, social interactions with family and friends and work. The most important point I grasped from our communication was ACCEPTANCE. From being a fully functional individual to having major lifestyle modification due to constraints/limitations that my condition of having a j pouch has impacted on my daily life. Further more there is no reversal or alternative surgery. Acceptance of my symptoms and living life at my comfort. Acceptance alone would take time, followed by understanding and a lot of support. I am grateful to have spoken and discussed my challenges to my gastroenterologist. For the first time after a very long time I had the reassurance that someone supported and understood my circumstances.
