keep it in the family.....
Hi guys,
I had a subtotal colectomy with temp ileostomy in March last year. On April 20th this year I had my second surgery......(j pouch made with loop ileostomy) things went well, 2 weeks out of hospital today!!!!:ybiggrin:
To get to the point, my nan had emergeny surgery this week for bowel perferation (had blockage from scar tissue from cancer removal) and they have given her a temp ileostomy until she heals up a bit.
Has anyone else had family/extended family members with a stoma at the same time as you?
One good thing about it all is I'm pretty open with my family about my experience so its nothing new for everyone. She seems to be taking it all in her stride.
Thanks
M
