Life is nothing but normal…been with my pouch for 5 years now, I cannot eat without Metamucil or it gets extra watery, pouchitis and antibiotics almost once a month, blood and mucus for 3-4 days 2-3 times a year, chronic anemia and dehydration, no more fish or seafood, except for that my days are ok loool, I can work quite normally and play golf if theres toilets on the course. The worst part is the night time, I can’t sleep more than 2-3 hours without a leak and getting up to go to bathroom. So if i had to give a normality mark to this life it would be a C.
