When did you start to feel better? I'm almost 3 weeks out of surgery and they placed an ileostomy. Diverticulitis with major complications. Ended up being an 8-hour surgery to remove all infection and abscesses. And had to take ovary and Fallopian tube. I also had double knee replacements 4 months ago, not knowing I'd be dealing with recent surgery. I'm struggling with mild abdominal pain and back pain. Just not feeling like I'm progressing enough. Thanks!
