I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary of having my ilieostomy. The Dr's gave me a year to live when I came home due to my complications. I was I final stage renal failure but now go to infusions 3× a week, and still loosing weight, I'm now 99 lbs, I have an upbeat personality and I believe in miracles, just some days I wish I could put this fake smile away and just be honest with something about what I'm going through with someone who understands, that's all.
