I've just received a letter through from the NHS today about a date for my Ileostomy reversal operation (20th September). This op should have been done four months ago, and I've only just got this date. I'm a little upset, but quite relived at the same time. Of course, I want rid of the bag as...

I seriously recommend everyone getting the full sedation to knock you out. I was partially conscious during my procedure, and still found myself in a lot of pain and remembering every little thing. It's really not an experience you want to remember afterwards.

I'd agree with that. I have an ileostomy -- which basically means my back passage is out of use at the min -- but I still get mucus coming out of there.

Oh I know us Crohnies aren't normal. I at least take a bit confidence from that. "Normal People" tend to be ignorant, pretentious arseholes ;)

Ah yes, people do suck. I'm glad you agree. I'm not so sure about karma at the min. All the bad people I've met seem to be enjoying carefree lives without any punishment.

Similar things happen with me. Just because I don't go out on the town one week, or go home early when I do 'cause I start to feel a little bit ill, they relegate me a few levels in their league of friends. I've always said to myself, you really find out who your real friends are when ****...

How do you cope with that?

True. I'm trying to concentrate on getting my weight back, and fitness up. A new relationship isn't the priority for me at the moment. I don't need it.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm trying to keep myself busy :)

Thank you :)

That doesn't make it right though. People can live their life but have a degree of respect for other people. That's what I was really getting at in the first place.

I regard trust and honest as key parts of a relationship, also, which is why I'm having such a difficult time moving on from this. Generally, people disgust me, and I don't want to get close to any of them anyone. Yes, I have the habit of stereotyping these days, but it's because a majority of...

I know friends shouldn't treat others in this manner, but the main problem I find is my attempts at trying to understand why I was treated in such I way. My main downfall is that I think far too much.

What's a Staph? The link won't open for me. I have my body and nasal wash from my doctor, but I've been instructed not to use it until 5 days before my next operation -which is 4 months from now. Which is quite confusing.

Cheers, guys.

I can't understand how I've got it, though. I shower 2-3 times a day. I mean, I'm a proper hygiene freak!

I'm a carrier.

Went to the hospital last week, expecting some good news on my ileostomy reversal date. I got told that it could another 3-4 months wait :( On top of that, they did some tests on me for MRSA, and the resuls came back as positive today. I've read up on MRSA, briefly, but am still a bit...

Well, we're pretty open about the poo process on this forum, aren't we? ;) Glad it's not just me though. Haven't had my 'first stoma dream' yet.

That is quite amazing. I've attempted this a few times but it hasn't worked :( (I'm probably a little wussed out about the prospect of pushing too much and my intestine pops completely out). And while we're on the subject of grossness, do you ever dream about being able to poo properly from...
