I am 9 days after surgery. Nothing could have prepared me for this. The pain, not feeling well, the constant trips to the bathroom. It's hard work. I have had leaks and don't know why. Not being able to do much for myself. They kept telling me in the hospital "you're doing great, you're doing great". When I got home, I totally did not feel like I'm doing great. My ostomy nurse ordered me supplies and now I have so much stuff I don't know what is what. I am extremely overwhelmed and feel so alone.
