In my last posting, I mentioned that my new doctor feels some tests should have been done before ending up with the ostomy that I have now. I am waiting for my doctor to review the records from my first colonoscopy back in Florida. These records mean the difference between reversing my ostomy (this would mean months of hell before deciding if the ostomy would be redone) or doing a total removal of my bowel, colon and anus. That surgery would mean a huge recovery time. That's what I am facing. Both suck but reversing the ostomy if there is no cancer risk is so my new doctor can do more test. I am not emotional ready for any of this but my hope is that we can get thing moving forward to get my quality of life improved.
