My surgeon has agreed to let me return to work even though the wound is not healed. I need to see a plastic surgeon now, maybe a skin graft, probably a skin graft. That's my piece of coal in the stocking. The present, though, is I get to go back to work. I start 2 weeks of half days on Jan. 16th. That means that I will have to go to a Flex Clinic for my wound care - no biggie. So I guess I will have to learn to get my butt off the couch; no more lazy TV, music, cartoons, etc. days - thank goodness. Staying at home this long has sucked to the nth degree. As I am sure there are lots of others out there who know what I'm talking about. Does anybody have any tips about going back to work as far as the ostomy is concerned? I am a little worried about, shall we say, "mishaps."
Everybody have a great New Year!
Thanks for all your support.
