I had two surgeries over the past year-and-a-half to give me a permanent ileostomy, which without a doubt has given me my life back - and now, after 10+ years of illness, I have to figure out what to actually do with that life! I have always hated running, mostly because when you have no stamina or muscles running is torture, but I am determined to get over the hill to the point where it doesn't hurt anymore - because I have put off doing any kind of exercise for quite a few years, so probably time to get on that.
So Day 1 is over, and I can't wait to continue - though I am very glad no one was there watching me for this first go, because it was definitely embarrassing how quickly I got tired! Hopefully that will improve ASAP.
