Ileostomy in August ‘23.
Doing great so far.
No more incontinence and all the infection was removed and treated with a month of antibiotics.
They taught me well at Mayo Rochester. I didn’t need a home nurse for the ostomy or the administration of drugs thru a picc line.

I’m happy that you were able to adjust so well. I don’t know if I would have adjusted quicker or easier if I had been told that the ileostomy was a possibility, but waking up to find it was a bit harrowing for me. But also, like I said before, I’m ok with it after all because knowing that my only other option was death isn’t an option at all.
