By This Time Next Year. . .

By this time next year I will no longer have a colon.

My name is Jason, and I'm 30 in a couple of days.  I suffer from a disease called Ulcerative Colitis which is a form of IBD.  I will spare you all the details of the disease (they aren't pretty), but if you want to know more check Wikipedia.

I was diagnosed in November of 2008 and in the past two years I have exhausted all medical options.  The next step is surgery to remove my colon. Now despite the fact my colon doesn't exactly work all that well I have grown attached to it.  As such I have decided that I want to give it a "last meal" of sorts, however I have no clue what that will be.

I've decided to seek the advice of others, which is the point of this blog.  I will be writing to people that I think are awesome (musicians, chefs, authors etc.) and ask them for suggestions.  I'm hoping that over the coming weeks and months I will be able to fill this with suggestions, stories, picture and hopefully recipes.

Thanks

Jason
