Hi all! I have just registered on the forum. I have dipped in and out of the forum over the past few years since my diagnosis of Crohns in 2010, I was really impressed with the support you guys give each other. So that's why I've registered now in my hour of need!
I am going in for my 3rd resection next week, I have 2 strictures and the surgeon is pretty confident that I will be fitted with a temporary stoma. I will then have to be transferred to another hospital to have overnight infusions of minerals and vitamins for 2 weeks, where they will teach me how to do this at home for the duration of the Stoma.
I only found this out 2 days ago so I am scared, emotional and pretty low about both the Stoma and the infusions. Can anyone offer any help and advice on how to deal with this please??!
Thank you
