1. Colostomy - no sphincter means no control, and no control means shit happens
2. Combining colostomy surgery with chemotherapy and radiation - what doesn't kill you, makes you wish it had
3. Gas after a colostomy - does it make a noise and will the bag explode, if I don't open it and let it out? Is that where the term an old gasbag comes from?
4. Colostomy fashion - who sells designer bags? If no one does, is there a market for this?
5. The flu and a colostomy - if I get the flu and have it coming out of both ends, won't it be easier with an ostomy bag? Will I even care?
6. Will I need another purse (one that doesn't smell like bananas) to carry my ostomy supplies? What are ostomy supplies?
7. Will I be able to enjoy sex after the colostomy surgery, even if I wasn't enjoying it before the colostomy surgery?
8. What are the annual projected savings on toilet paper?
9. When I walk my dogs, will we bond even more when they see that we all have poop bags?
10. How far down in my colon will the incision for the colostomy be made?
11. Where and how do I empty my "bag"? Do I have to rinse it out?
Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeletePS. I've had many colonoscopies and find Miralax to be the least offensive prep I've used.
I certainly hope that you actually asked ALL of these questions!
