I assumed one of the better outcomes for Mrs EGF.
She didn’t have a stoma straight after the initial operation, that was done on the 2nd op (3 days after the 1st) due to the join in the bowel giving way & peritonitis/sepsis/whatever it was taking hold. Then it was found her gall bladder had ruptured, causing a different infection again! So she had a 3rd operation to clean that out, 7 days after the 2nd one! Lordy my, what a **** year.
Anyway, if any old folk come at me with a full colostomy bag, I’ll be ready! 😆
(at least I’d be a good help in changing it for a new one)
