Colonoscopy was clear. Have a meeting with stoma nurse and surgeon on the 20th of Dec.

Annie how often do you enema to get mucus out now?

My fissure has healed (thank God). What I don't get is doctors are willing to give a colostomy for incontinence but not for RH. I almost feel lucky that I have a incontinence issue because living like this (laxitives or enemas daily) is just a twisted way to live. I am currently in some Facebook support groups were people have had rectal nerve damage (same as RH) that caused incontinence and their lives are going great.

Pre Op is on the 4th, then surgery is on the 11th. doctor is doing a loop so that I can enema from stoma to clear out mucus. To say the least I am nervous! excited. Hope-full, scared

Well had the surgery (really wasn't bad) I can tell you already my life has improved. Even tho I'm taking pain meds colace is actually working. I am still in hospital but they plan on me being out tomorrow (so 4 days total). The doctor. Told my wife and mother when he was done "he now has his life back"

So it's been a few months sorry I haven't been posting. I have been able to get out and live again. Travel, eat, no more hours on the pewper. I will say that the bag may have it's in problems but I gladly will take them over what I was doing. Colostomy really is not that bad. I empty twice a day And change every other day (tho most people wait longer) No one should have to live a life of rectal hypo.
