@ Devilsson: Turning parts of the small intestities into a "kind of colon" will be done. This is called a pouch. But how good this pouch works is very individual. And if it doesnt work I ahve the stoma for the rest of my life (or at least until some new sugerymethod or whatever is inovated). But chances that the pouch works are better if you split it up in two surgeries. So first I will have my colon removed and have a stoma for 3 months. Then after 3 months they "build" the pouch, remove the stoma and get the pouch going. Then it will take some time until the body has adapted (optimally that means that Im continet and have to go to toilette about 5 times a day).

I will meet the prof on the 5th of june. If Im not in fullremission until then (miracle has happened) I will make the date for the surgery. Whats important for me is that I get to know exactlly the surgeon who does the surgery and have some time to talk to him (will tell him that he wont just loose his job if does a mistake, some extra pressure cant be bad - just kidding - I just want to know the person who plays a major role in which turn my life goes from then (the better the surgery is done the better the chances are that the pouch works - every detail counts)).

I really can't imagine which is worse: knowing like something like this is coming, or having to wait three weeks to get the final word.

Good luck, man.

Thanks man. I know concetrate on the positive aspects. Like I just found out that if things go well I can go to see Jan at the World Championship for rowing in August which is in GErmany (Munich) this year. And this is pretty cool.
On tuesday I was in such a bad condition that my mother was very close to calling the ambulance. But today I feel better again.
Did some dips and pull ups.

There was this guy at my school. HE was about one year younger than me. HE was also fully into lifiting. The legend has it that he ahd a poster of Arnold in his Trainingroom and was screaming at himself "Keep going you littel pussy" and stuff like that while training. The only other persons arround were his parents so... he was a cool dude. At about the same time I got the UC he got leukemya. He got chemo, went to the US for special treatment and so on and so on. Last week he died. We werent friends but he was just another person you thought that is unbeatable. Those days someone said "Seems like all the hard guys get fucked up". You could see the fear in his eyes. Life doesnt care how strong you are.

My uncle just got home from the hospital this week. His liver transplant was successful. He has a long way to go before he's back to anything resembling normal life, but his body is accepting the liver and he's progressing nicely through rehab.

It's a shame he had to wait until he was almost dead before they put him at the top of the transplant list, but better late than never I guess.

Good to hear a story with a positive outcome. The first few wekks after a transplantation are the most important. If the liver is accepted then, the chance is good it will stay like that for a long time.

Was watching Ronnie Coleman - The Unbelievable with a friend yesterday.
After we finshed watching it my buddy had to go somewhere else.
I was so pumped that I immediatelly did 3 sets of CHINS with short rest and just repping like a madman. I felt great. So great that I had to masturbate immediatelly

And the whole night I dreamed about having sex with my ex. Good, long dream.
Moral of the story:
Ronnie Coleman has such high T-levels that he raises your owns just by watching him train.

In fact I didnt have this "Im so full of energy Im about to explode" for ages. PreUC I was like that almost all the time. I really miss being healthy and feeling like it.

Best of luck on your upcoming meeting with the professor.
Just a question, is the healthcare free in germany or do you have to have some insurance or something?
