I've had my ileostomy for 3 months now and yesterday when I was getting my wound care done they noticed I had swelling about 2 inches to the left of my ostomy site on my abdomen. I'm wondering if this is anything to be concerned over?? It's a little tender but don't throb or anything like that.. I have a lot of abdominal pain but that's from my surgeries. I don't see my doctor till next Monday and not sure if I Need to call in and report this....Anyone else have a problem like this??    Thanks, Barbara



   Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th today!! I got to see my son that lives about 2 hours away. What a blessing! Had a cookout. Rained nearly all day. They had to do the grills in the rain lol! It's pouring hard out now....we've had enough rain....

If there is no pain, it could prob'ly wait till your appointment.
