Re: Pouch twist

Topics

Ok, so I know that my pouch is not anchored to my abdomenal wall...I have the pictures and it is just held up by the stoma attach and my other organs...so obviously like a ballon full of water it twists and turns around in there a little bit (I avoid standing on my head)...I can feel it but 4 days ago I got a nice twist.
Ouch.
It twisted left and stayed there...could barely find the direction to put the tube in (strait up!), when it went in it hit the wall each time (double ouch!!! kind of like being stabbed) and nothing would come out.
I avoided certain movements, pretended that all was fine (not in the mood for ER, stupid docs and wasting time with florascopes)...and happily, this morning, after moving some furniture around...it slipped back into place.
I keep forgetting that I need to be very careful..

Hi Sharon,
I was wondering how you were doing. What a terrifying, not to mention extremely painful experience to go through, especially with you being in France & Dr. Cohen being so many miles away in Canada. Take care - Dixie
