I know it has been a while but nothing has been going on and I have been feeling really well. I had to have a test done to make sure everything had been healed and Drew had a class in St. Louis so I got that done yesterday. It was a total disaster. At first they thought they were inserting contrast through my stoma which makes no since because there is no comunication between my stoma and rectom where they were checking everything. They finally got ahold of a different surgeon and she told them to do what I had been saying needed to be done. They started running in the contrast and I told them when I felt full. So full that my stomache was cramping, I felt like I was going to throw up, and I was starting to flush. The doc was convinced I needed more because it wasn't coming out my stoma. Apparently the surgion told him that it would come out my stoma and they could not comprehend the fact that Dr. Safar had gone in and closed off the down part of the stoma. They finally stopped but the final x-rays showed contrast that had gotten into my bag somehow. I don't know how that is possible. If I don't hear from Safar I will call tomorrow and make sure everything is still a go for surgery on the 21st.
