Assuming your insurer agreed you could go into Mt. Sinai Hospital for IV Cyclosporine, hope you're feeling better & can report back to us soon. / Old Hat (nearly 30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.])

Thanks everyone for thinking of me.

I just got back from the hospital this afternoon, I was at Mount Sinai for 12 days on IV Cyclosporine.

I am exhausted I will write more either this weekend or early next week. I need to catch up on my life, work and most importantly my rest but promise to write more next week; it was a very interesting hospital stay.

I am going to bed right now.

Hey Keith. I was starting to get worried! Hope you are feeling better. When you are up to it let us know how you are doing.

p.s. I am basically in remission as of yesterday. I even drank a large ice coffee and ate 2 large fruit cups just to test out my colon.... I am happy to report that my colon passed the test without incident.

Glad you are doing well, Keith! Get some rest. Can't wait to hear about your escapades.

hey, good deal, Keith! I'm glad the cyclosporine worked. So what's next, are you still planning for surgery? I had a double dose of  Remicade this past Monday to ttry to stabilize me a bit, & started bleeding again Wednesday pm.... so frustrating! I'm just trying to bide my time comfortably 'til my surgery, November 14th. At this point I am SO looking forward to it!

Way to go, Keith! Hope the hospital staff did not wake you at 5:30 AM to wash your face!!!! (?) / Old Hat (nearly 30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.])
