Hi folks, well I had the reversal surgery on Dec 3. Suppose I should change my name to Nostom from Newstom. 3 1/2 years ago when I signed up. Thank you for all the comments and prayers. I must say it was brutal for me, but I thank God so far so good! I have a wound vac on the stoma site which is on 24/7 for about 4 weeks, it's now a mini crater. The cut down the center is longer than the original surgery back in '16. I guess I can honestly say I am glad to have my butt back in action. If I didn't get a hernia, I doubt I would've signed up for this because of my fear of pain. I'm not a great patient, but all I can do is stay in bed and heal, and in time things will be so much brighter. Gees, just missing the whole hustle bustle of Christmas is weird and relaxing because it's all I have to do today! That is a blessing in disguise, I think.
I hope you all have a blessed holiday season! Warm regards
