Hi,
I had the RC on 19th March and had a few rough days in hospital mainly sickness from morphine, All went well with the operation and scar is healing well, Stoma nurses have been brilliant throughout and I have found bag changing really easy, I have purchased several bag covers which hide the bags. I see the stoma nurse for a check up next week, the stoma looks healthy and slight redness around it not nothing serious, I was put in touch with Securicare to order my supplies, really helpful and have placed my first order with them.
I have recently experienced foot pain and now calf pain in one leg, has anyone else had this post surgery?
The calf is not swollen or hot and I was advised to wear surgical stockings and raise the leg and keep an eye on it.
I made the decision to have the stoma over Neo bladder and am pleased with the decision.
stay safe everyone and thanks for your help and advice pre-op.
