Emergency surgery while on vacation....how awful and scary. Good to know I don't need to stay for weeks after I get out of the hospital but I do plan at least a few days at a hotel first.
My husband has MS so I am well aware I will need all the airline assistance and sadly will need it for my initial consultation trio because prednisone has just destroyed me.

Hugs

I forgot to mention that I have done reading on the Internet (Utube) and other websites about your future with a colostomy. There is a lot of information out there. I am still getting used to mine and haven't even found the right bags that I feel comfortable using. You should look into whether there is a local chapter of Ostomy users in your area. I plan on going to a meeting as soon as I feel strong enough.
