Dear Karla I have been reading the forum each day but have not been very
well.I am going back to theatre in about five hours as he thinks that I have
a hernia in my right groin near my stoma and this has been causing me much
pain.My ileaoostomy is working overtime and is dumping about five to six
litres a day which means that I still cant go home until I can get off the
drip.I went out on leave on Sunday and I came back dehydrated.I also go to
the endoscopy theatre on Friday to get my permanent gastroscopy tube put
in.At least I can now eat without pain so it looks like I will be back in a
few months to get my large bowel out and the small bowel connected to my
rectum.I asked two surgeons and one gastroenterologist whether I could leave
my large bowel there even if it wasnt working and they said yes but it
increases the risk of bowel cancer in the dormant bowel so that is why they
recommend that the bowel be removed.I am so sick of hospital all I want to
do is go home.Im beginning to think that it will never come.I hope that you
are recovering well Karla from your ordeal.Have you heard when you will be
going back for the surgery?I do hope it is soon for your sake.Please keep me
imformed of your progress.You and I seem to be twins with our
complaints.Love always,Robyne.
