waiting

Hello, I am waiting to see a Colo-rectal surgeon. On October 8. I have suffered with constipation , and other issues, for about 12 years. After much testing I have anismus and colonic inertia. I told my GI Doctor, that I want this Dam colon out of me! He agreed. I understand the ileostomy will bring on many changes. But I have to try, Constipation and bloating and all the other things that go with it, are slowly killing me. I just needed to say something!!!
What great sight this is!

The waiting is soooo long!!!!

God bless you all!
