March isn't just for little green men and Shamrock Shakes anymore -- let's party for National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! If you need something special to wear, try our Rectum pin or Colon pin to spruce up your duds or celebrate your healthy backend system.
I find it funny to come across this as I sit on my couch recovering from my 2nd colon surgery. On January 18th I had my large intestine removed. I now have my small intestine connected to my rectum. I had this surgery due to colonic inertia, slow transit constipation and a long (10ft) tortuous, redundent colon. I formed a ileus at my anastomosis site that landed me back in the hospital a few days after I was released. I ended up in the hospital 3 weeks instead of 1 week. After being home about 20+ days the pains started to return and I was rushed back to the hospital to find out the anastomosis site was closing up and a 2nd surgery was needed to fix it. I post this story to let others know they are not alone. You can read my full story and updates of my surgery at www.gofundme.com/nicole. You do not have to donate to read it :) Thank you I Heart Guts for bringing awareness to others about the special month. For those dealing with motility disorders i highly recommend this site http://www.inspire.com/groups/agmd-gi-motility/ .
