George I had a similar opperation in 2003 age 50 the Stoma nuses
told me that this was a possibility but touch wood everything was ok
a couple of days after the op woke up with morning glory! asked
registar if this meant ok, it was , only downside for me was the
nerves to the bladder do not work properly so if you have that prob
get to see the urologist ASAP I was too late, I don't always know
when my bladder is full yet at other times going every 10 mins
decaf tea /coffee plenty of water and remember to go! but what the
heck did Great North run last year and just signed up again this
year so lots to look forward to
