I was in a motorcycle accident last August. Very lucky to be alive. I broke my back in three places. I have done spinal cord damage. I broke 11 ribs and partially collapsed one lung, and the other lung was also affected. This led to being on a ventilator, which then led to having a tracheotomy. This eventually led to pneumonia, and the infection settled in my colon. I couldn't get rid of the infection, so they had to do a total colon or large intestine removal. They say I'm a possible candidate for reversal. They say they would make a pouch in the bottom of the small intestine before connecting it to the rectum. I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with reversal in this situation or any advice.
