As most know I had my colon and rectm removed and an Ileostomy formed. Well totally seperate from that I had a myocardial profusion scan that showed I had 3 blocked arteries in my heart. Bummer yeh I know. Anyway Yesterday I had pain in my right leg like varicous vein pain,, and my right nut was killin me. Then a huge sinus erupted under my bag on my belly and is still oozing puss and blood. Right now here the other thing. I am getting some real urgent urges to have a crap. but I cant pee too good. Seems my pee hole doesnt want to run but my Bum wants to push. It's got me buggered. And on top of that I,m feeling like crap. So any ideas from the knowledge bank. Just wondering if I should be led out into the paddock on a one way trip.

Hi gang,
I was thinking what a great resource this site has been for me since I found it. It would have been really helpful, but maybe a bit scary, to have found it before my ostomy, but that's water under the bridge. But I got thinking about it, and now I'm questioning why doctors and hospitals don't provide this site's contact info to any patient even considering an ostomy today. And how can we change that so potential ostomates can learn about the road ahead for them by getting on here and asking questions before the docs go chop-chop. How exactly do you get all hospitals to provide their patients specific information, like this website?
I just happened to find this site something like 4 years after my ostomy when I Googled "ostomy forum" or something like that. But I never found it during previous searches.....so I found this site pretty much by pure luck. We need to find a way to make this site available to new or soon-to-be ostomates......as that's when we really need to commiserate with fellow ostomates. Anybody have any thoughts on how we do this?
Thanks,
Bob
