Hi All
Like Kerry i too had my ileostomy last April. The cause was uc which
came in one 5 month long stretch. Looking back now though i did have
regular bleeding for about 3 years previously nothing too dramatic so
i always thought it must be piles, who knows? I was so relieved after
surgery the pain stopped, the blood loss which seemed never ending
slowed and i began to feel 'normal' again. I think having my family
around really helped, you have to get yoourself together pretty quick
when your 4 year old is jumping all over you. The best advice i was
given was to let my body recover from surgery then get on with my
life. Saying that i was never a stunt woman or bikini clad beauty
before lol.
Take Care
