Thank you guys! I'm one of those people who cannot deal with human bodily fluids, so the bag is taking its toll on me, as well as the open wound that oozes blood and bowel. And, they both reek, I gag from the smells. Just the way I am. But animals, that's way different, animal bodily fluids don't bother me in the least, strange eh?
Anyway, I'm kind of freaked out now worrying if the 2nd surgery will be way more painful then the 1st and the fear of pooping my pants in public.
No one mentioned things like Depends underwear at night and such, has anyone tried them? Do they work?
I had the colon removed 3/17/15, do you think I'll have the 2nd surgery in July?
And, since I'm new to all this, there's still some lingo I'm not familiar with. What's a takedown?
