I went through a similar severe progression of UC, as someone who knows the pain you have gone through and are continuing to endure physically and mentally I am disgusted by the actions of SatDriver. I have also considered being a trucker because the nation is in need and helping solve problems for the benefit of society brings me great satisfaction. Please read up on ADA, there are regulations to help you get where you want to be. Don't let the cruel individual discourage you, I got through it and so will you! God Bless whoever came up with the "J pouch" I could deal with the bag for a few months but it was wearing me down mentally between pain and problems requiring me to abruptly abandon what I was doing to secure a new bag. After final surgery I felt so much better, you'll probably learn this from doc but watch what you eat after, blockages happen easily if you use too many opioids post op (kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don't choice between pain or risking relaxation of intestines) or eat food the can get stuck (Like fruits/veggies with skin that doesn't break down in stomach).
(Did not have Toxic MegaColon diagnosis prior to surgery but my lead surgeon examined colon once it was out and said I made right choice because if I left it in it was heading for Toxic Megacolon or Cancerous growth from all the destroyed tissue)
Apologies to community for turning this into a UC discussion, your Mod did something horrible and I had to speak up.
