Three weeks before we moved up here I ended up in the emergency with a ridiculous amount of pain. We had gone to the beach to visit my fiance's mother and by the time we got back I felt like I was dying. I delayed going to the ER until the next morning and only went because I could not sit still the pain was so intense. I am very stupid for waiting.

Introduction and purpose
My name is Emily and I am 28 years old. I recently moved to Vancouver BC from Seattle and have been given the opportunity to spend some time focusing on me. I'm mostly writing all of this down as a way to measure my progress and maybe help someone else along the way. Due to the nature of disease and a gastrointestinal disease on top of that, sometimes things may get gross. I'll try to keep it as ick-free as possible, but that's not always going to be the case. If you still don't want to believe that girls poop, this probably isn't the place for you. However, chances are that if you found your way here you are someone who wants or needs to learn more about living life with colitis or a j-pouch. I'm about to drop a lot of background here, but it's necessary context for everything that will follow.
