Since valve redo on in Jan. 09 everthing has been going well. This morning when I went to intubate I had alittle discharge on my pad, not alot only alittle more than a stain, should I be worried? should I call Dr. ?

No worries...when you inturbate and pull out the cath...there is a little bit of feces being pulled along with the cath. So, in that inch or so between the valve and stoma it will come out along with mucous. I've even had a peice of food come out that must had been at the tale end of my cath.

Thanks Janice, I was hoping someone would say that. Hey how is Keith doing?

He's doing well with his kpouch...having fun snowboarding!
