@edp posted:aww thank you!! definitely not easy for any of us. proud of everyone who makes it through and those still fighting. have you had any issues since the takedown?
The first week of Takedown, I was not taking it easy like I should have. I did leg lifts and my stoma wound opened up resulting in wound separation. Water/soap got in there from the shower too and it infected the area. The infection spread to the whole small intestine including the pouch. I had to go back to the hospital for bowel rest and antibiotics for a couple of days. It was my fault though lol. Ever since then I have not gone back to the hospital for my pouchy.
I only had minor issues since then like if I eat the wrong thing or do not drink enough water I get constipated, but that is only a couple of times a year thank goodness. Nothing major.
How about you???
