I'm expecting a reversal after rectal tumor removal and a temporary ileostomy within a few months. I keep reading about the "new normal" when I question how I'll eat, drink, and go to the bathroom when I've healed. I'd like to think I can enjoy food again and not be tied to being near a bathroom all the time. Is that reasonable? I'm in good health otherwise and am used to being active.
