Reversal op and muscle reshape (Lost it in peritonitis issue post chemo all good.

cheerio Stan!  Just released crop post op and into general ward

interesing closure of stoma - single piece of stitch round the hole  that  will simply Pull round and out

hope epidural will last the pace - no pain

i now need to build up to eating and passing 

Thanks all for the help around all things ileostomy over last 15 months 

cheers 

Well done . Sounds a similar wound closure to mine - the surgeon described it as like a purse string then they pull it up like a cats bum!

Take the eating very very slowly - I was a bit gung ho and had a bit of Cornish pasty ( didn’t manage the crust) and the projectile vomiting started the next day so start on liquids and build up.

Take care

Made same mistake with tomato soup!  Just fortisip now - but bowel is gurgling nicelyand I'm sitting out of bed

cheers all

Coming on nicely - all canulars epidurals catheters removed - motions passing (if speedily)

not much of appetite as yet - but presumably enough to work bowel with a light diet 

just relying on soluble paracetamol.  Isn’t the body a wonderful thing 

hope to be out Wednesday and glorious wife and home 

onwards and upwards - so grateful to read all your stories to see how things might play out 

So pleased to hear this. 

4 months on from my op,  I’m feeling great. Don’t regret having it done for a second. Hope your recovery is speedy and smooth. Anna x

That’s my hope - cheers for all the info
