Just a little diagram...



Just another little post for the curious! During my surgery, I had my cecum, terminal ileum, and appendix removed- those are the parts of the intestine within the little circle there. The appendix is the little dangly thing, the cecum is the part of the large intestine at the very end, and the terminal ileum is the part of the small intestine that connects to the large intestine.

Nice, very informative, Leanne. Your doing the internet--and thus other people with Chron's or who want to learn more about Chron's--a really valuable service.
