The new plumbing was installed 6 nights ago. They removed George, my stoma, and wired up a pouch using my small intestine and connected it to my rectal cuff. I have been on fluids until now and things have gone surprisingly well so far!
15 minutes ago I took my first bite of food in a week. I am so excited to see if this egg sandwich will come out the other end, properly, without drama. I dream of being able to go less than 8X a day. Not having to run to the toilet or think about changing my appliance. I dream of not having more inflammatory bowel disease. I dream of not having my lungs and skin and whatever else be inflamed and battered.
I have no idea if this thing will work but am willing to give it a shot. If we can stay out of the hospital for a few more years, that would be a huge success.

ReplyDeleteHow did your stoma get the name George? Did you name it after Uncle George? I think he would be honored !! I hope I get named in there somewere too!
