Hi there,
I've recently had an ileostomy/jujenostomy (?) following a rush into A + E with a perforated bowel. The perforated bit was quite high up and close to my stomach, ending in the result of a high output stoma and most of the time practically undigested food going in through the mouth, out through the stoma in the space of an hour. Most days the output is between 3 + 4L, although the last few days its increased to 5L -toying with the idea antibiotics have a role to play with that? Anyway, been 3 weeks since the operation and the plan is to cut me open, remove 3/4 strictures in my bowel and stitch me all back together in a couple of weeks due to the high output.
Just wanted to share my story and talk to people about it - still in hospital and plan to be here for another few weeks at least so anything to occupy my time is good. Share your story with me?
My best friend has also named my stoma fluffy the alien - because it is alive (she's witnessed it moving haa) and because it is the least fluffy thing you will ever see. Fluffy is very dear to both of us but, being a 19 year old girl) I am keen to have him back inside where he belongs.
Share your story with me? Ups, downs, laughs, frowns. I'm willing to talk about anything.
