Been to see the surgeon

I have just returned from the hospital, seeing the surgeon who is going to operate on me. We had a good chat about the options, he said that they are still not sure if I have crohns or ulcerative colitis and the options are based on that lack of a firm diagnosis. I will be having a loop ileostomy as a temporary solution with follow ups to see if I am improving. If I improve then I can have the loop removed and I can be joined up back to normal, if there are still problems then I get the whole colon removed and I live with the ileostomy for ever. I have a date too, 14th May with a 7 to 10 day stay in hospital.
