This is kind of new to me too, as I've only had the wound vac for a week.... my wound was stable for a long time and I was taking care of it myself. It's very unsettling to go back to the nurses etc, but I am getting so many benefits from the surgery that this is really no big deal in the big picture .... my stoma is all settled down, and knock on wood, doing fine, and I feel better than I have in years. Part of why it's hard emotionally now is that I feel well and yet I have a visiting nurse etc....
So, yes, great fun, but I can think of things that are even more fun....
