Unexpected stay in hospital

Hi JoulesF That’s exactly what I had! My GP thought it was sepsis but the hospital said it was an infected build up of fluid behind the rejoin. I was admitted and a sample of the fluid that I was passing out of my bottom (despite having a stoma) was sent off for testing although it took them a few days to identify the infection. I had some of the fluid drained off during the CT scan and then the drain was left in to drain into a bag at the side of my bed. I’ll be honest - it was probably the toughest point of my recovery and trying to get comfy with a plastic tube inserted into my buttock was extremely difficult. 
Really hoping the fluid clears up quickly and your stay is a short one 

Take care

Thanks. I have an appointment for the drain fit on Thursday. I had to get off the blood thinner for 48 hours. I need a specifically trained radiologist to fit the drain. 

The fluid build up apparently is due to the growth of the metases in my mesoteric lining.
