It will take some time to fully grasp what has happened to you. You are going to go through a variety of emotions. Is your stoma permanent or temporary? Were you sick a long time before you ended up in the hospital?

Dont be afraid to ask your doctors for pain medication.

Make sure that your doctors know about your pain and bad nights. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Research and ask questions. Everyone here is still learning about the disease and how it affects them. Some know more than others, and they're a wealth of information! Know that we're all here for your support. <3
