So my small intestine has been sticking out of my illiostomy a good 8" most of the day. It goes in a little, then it's right out again. Any ideas?

[chickadee]

Hmmmmmm... maybe get your butt to a doc?!

[evilmac64]

you need medical attention

[ClaraTaylor]

Get ye to a medical centre!

[alex4bs]

i cant imagine having the small intestine hanging out is like a large urnia you see when the gut putrudes through the stomach wall a opperation can be done but you will nead to get your pittifull self along to a doctor>>>hope this helps you alex

[Ratticis]

the stoma always protrudes a bit, but it's more than usual today and the fact that i havn't passed any stool since this morning is kinda concerning. I'll be going to the hospital tonight if it doesn't improve. Doc is supposed to call me back

Folks,

Ratticis finally took my advice (nagging) and got his derriere to a hospital. He got done with surgery this afternoon and is doing okay. He has tubes stuck up his nose, which is of course dead sexxay.

Damn rights it's sexy! My throat hurts like hell

I think he did it just for the gross TMI-filled pics he could post on Facebook. Likes to make us girls hurl.

[Ratticis]

Nobody made you look
Well, p joy. Stomach is distended again and the're gunna stuck the NG tube back in.
It never ends

[Ratticis]

It's now 12:45 in the am and they got the tube in. All kinds of crap coming out and my stomach feels way better. Just got back from x-ray and passing a little gas, which is a good sign

Well actually, yes they did - Facebook automatically posts them in a sidebar for me to barf at.

Glad to hear you're farting.

[Ratticis]

Not farting, persay, but my guts are starting to move again. That's move work, not move outta the inside again

[Ratticis]

Going for a CT scan in about an hour

I am compelled to cross everything including the wife...

[Ratticis]

You're doing what now?

[Ratticis]

Well now the're saying if the problem doesn't resolve itself within a few days it's back to the OR. Cus doing it right the first time would make too much sence

[Illinois Boy]

That sucks........ Get well soon......

[qbounce]

Damn Ratt,
How does something like this start in the first place?

Hope it works out that you don't have to go back under the knife!

Be well

[Ratticis]

Well, it all starts in ottawa and continues downward on a shit slide from there until the shitalanch affects the lifes of anyone needing medical attention. The poorly staffed poorly trained healthcare system proves thay with free healthcare you get what you pay for.

[SnoFl]

hope you won't need another round of surgery.

[Ratticis]

Just an update. In case anyone still cares.
They clamped off the NG tube yesterday but I was nervous about them taking it out after how things went Saturday. This afternoon they pulled it. I'm drinking now and eating fluids. My throat hurts like hell, but things are working like they should, so things are looking up.

[SnoFl]

Ratticis,

That is WONDERFUL news!!
