Dear Karla All the best for you now and in the future. I think of you often as I know when you have your big surgery you will be in for a long haul like I have been this time. I am still in hospital(four and a half months now). I have been in to theatre twice more since I have had two massive abcesses in the stoma and have had the stoma refashioned. I am going back to theatre tomorrow so they can close the fistula and then my bags might fit properly and not leak. If all goes well I will be home next week. I just can't believe it is so close. Love always,Robyne.

Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that I am in the hospital (since Saturday afternoon). Everything has pointed to infection, urosepsis, again. I went to er friday night where they did blood cultures, etc. and gave some massive doses of antibiotics. At that point I just felt lousey and had awful hip pain. On Saturday it had gone down into my knees as well and I couldn't put any weight on them without pain. When I went back to the er they told me that the cultures from the night before were growing something out so they admitted me and have been doing a good job at pain control.....for once.
On Sunday I had an allergic reaction to a new antibiotic so they brought in a doctor on call. He said that my culture from Saturday was normal. Now I have no clue as to what is going on....I just know that this pain is still there.
I did bring my computer with....but my time is limited to when I can get out of bed.
