bleeding

Rosie128Member

Yesterday, I found myself in a situation that has not happened to me since I have had my k pouch. I was overdue for an intubation and I had my tube but no lubrication jelly. I used some saliva and managed to insert the catheter even though I could feel scraping and it was uncomfortable. I thought if anything I would scrape up my stoma a little. I must have scraped up the lining of my pouch because today I am noticing a good amount of blood mixed in my stool. I am panicking because my pouch has been practically perfect for the past several years and I am scared I ruined it. Has this ever happened to anyone? Will it heal itself if I watch it over the next few days? I am about a 3-4 hour drive away from Dr. Rehnke's office and I am not sure what they could/would do about it. I would love to hear some advice from the veteran pouchers on here.....

Thank you
