Reply to "Take down in a week, what does life after the stoma take down look like?"

Thank you for the advice, I have been out of work for over a month and a half now these leaks are crazy, this new stoma does not function at all like my first one, as stool comes out of my skin. It hasn’t been annoying, but I have been treating my skin the next I could and thankfully pain meds have helped with the burning pain.

I am starting to get a lot of pressure down there, and so far have been discharging a peachish, off white substance. This morning I went again to release and it was brown with some light spotting of blood, is this normal?

I just hope it does not mean, that I have more complications coming my way. I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow and a flex sig Thursday, I cannot wait for this stoma to come down, and though I am scared for recovery, I am looking forward to getting things back to somewhat normality.
