Reply to "New kock pouch, sudden complication. Please help!"

following surgery the best assistants, for me, were the stoma nurses.  they are the ones who deal with patients becoming used to their new pouches.  that's not something about which the surgeon knows.  it isn't an intuitive adjustment so ask us questions please.  and read prior k poachers' comments.  (Sharon is brilliant.)  when in hospital i ate stewed spinach and the nurse needed to take the catheter out to de-clog.  great you know what foods to avoid--you are ahead of the curve on that tough issue.  have they shown you a catheter so you know size of holes?  

is your pain under control?

sending you healing thoughts.  when go home?  keep us posted!  jan
