Wow, here goes, 7 months ago I had colostomy surgery I am now wearing a bag until I die I'm 77 it's very difficult to me it's like a full-time job wearing that bag the history is 50 years of ulcerative colitis and two years ago I started with C diff I hold the record for 11 times it doesn't go away especially since you have to be on antibiotics I was on Vancomycin for a year and a half and side effects are never pretty on any of these drugs I never I've never been constipated it's always the opposite and then we come to the choice I continue to lose more and more weight and no end in sight getting better exhausted all the meds or the life saving surgery so there really is no choice because I would have died and now I get to live with this bag I'm glad I'm retired so I don't have to deal with being out in the world taking care of this bag mentally it's very difficult but it will get better I have a great support group on Facebook and you got to keep on what you're doing don't let up with these doctors all I know is the best outcome for me is no moral serrated colitis and no more C diff ever ever again because that one is a tough one remember you're a fighter keep on top of your care and ask questions and see what the long-term prognosis is for you and I say prayers for you and have a blessed day
