Reply to "2nd surgery next month"

I had a 6 week leave from work. I slept around 12-16 hours everyday the first 4 weeks to recover -mine was an open surgery- so 6 weeks was necessary. This is the hardest one of the 3 surgeries.

You will deal with the loop, it is only three months. It took me 4-6 weeks to learn to manage it. Once I got a mirror to stand right in front of me during changes, things have improved. Seeing it in the bathroom mirror was to far away for me to cut the hole exactly the same shape as the stoma.
