Reply to "J pouch gone, hello Barbie butt"

Thanks for your input. So I am feeling fine but yesterday I thought my stom was leaking and here it turns out that my incision is emitting some clear greenish gunk that has an odor. The area to the right of my incision looked redder than usual. I have no established WOCN b/c I have had my stom for the last 4 years and did not need home care this time. The support for ostomate problems locally sucks. It takes weeks/months to get into the dinky little service my local hospital has. I don’t want to let this go in case it is or can be something bigger than it appears. When I was admitted with the NG tube, I saw a bunch of doctors. I am gonna call around and see if any of them can get me in to look at the wound in case I need antibiotics,etc. Knowing me, I won’t be able to wait until I get seen at Cleveland on Friday. 

Jayda-what sort of abscess did you have and what was the treatment? I had a horrible abscess post-op once that required a drain to be in for 2.5 months. I really can’t deal with that again so I am hoping if this is a problem, it is more superficial. 

Thanks!
