Didn't get my bum back!!!!

Less than one minute read time.

Hi everyone! Well I am back after a 9 hour operation and 12 days in hospital and feeling very weak.

I just wanted to update you with what has happened.

 

To those who don't know me I went in for a colostomy reversal.

 

When the surgeon opened me up they found my bowel had dropped into my pelvic area and it was stuck to everything (adhesions)

I now have a tempory iliostomy for 3 months and the surgeon assured me that it will be easier to reverse.

The good news is I am still NED!

 

As I am feeling very weak I won't be around for awhile but knowing myself I will be stronger in no time.

 

I send everyone my love.  All the best to those of you who are "Waiting" or receiving treatment.

 

Lots of Love Julie xx

    I've not seen you letters before dont know why, I've been using McMillans for a long time.What a story.  I thought I was having trouble with these Gods who for some reason never listen to you.. My problem is my face,I've had so many operations over the last 20 years.But the last 3years have been horendous.My face is in such a state that I'm begining to think I could do it better myself. they always come up with excuses and I agree you never see the same surgeon I.ve been told to always ask for the surgeon who did the OPs as they are the ones who know what has been done.I'm off to the hospital tomorrow and have made up a list with all the right questions whether I get all the right answers is another point.

    I do hope you get what you should have .the trouble is its another OP each time which isnt really what we need do we.

    Any way all the very best.I'll keep a look out  for your latest letter
