I have an ileostomy and need to have shoulder surgery. Has anyone else out there experienced having use of one arm with their ostomy (for a limited time of course).
I have had my ileo since 1972, but I'm stumped over the aftercare on this one! How will I empty my bag??? I don't like anyone else to mess with it. Plus, I live alone now.
Thanks to anyone who has some experience.
