Ulcerative colitis is a disease of the colon a little like Crohn's disease. It can have side effects including gout-like swelling of the ankle joints and knees. I suffered with it for 13 years until, in 2009, I underwent the surgical removal of the colon. They called it colectomy but I called disembowelment.

I made up this song before the surgery, in some kind of gallows humor.
