Dear Kathy
You certainly have been through the wringer! I have a urostomy and developed ahernia in the belly button after having the operation to repair it I was infected for a year,Two years later the hernia came back but now extended to the stoma site. Had surgery again and so far a success.Living with an ostomy is a new lease on life but also can add so many complications. I know I have not gone through as much as you but I do know the fear of the unknown.All I can tell you is take it one day at a time.Do not do any lifting(more than 10 pounds) be careful of strenuous exercise and have faith that the good Lord will get you through these difficult times. I will keep you in my prayers and if you need an ear please feel free.
