Thanks for thinking of me. I've been in the hospital for 3 days. Just got home today. I was very dehydrated. My ileostomy was putting out so much I couldn't keep up. Even now, as soon as I eat or drink my bag fills and fills. They gave me some stuff to start drinking to help thinking my output, but it is so nasty. I'm still having a little trouble with food. My stomach cramps alot after eating. Not sure what that is about.

They gave me Imodium too. My incision is opening but the surgeon didn't seem worried about it. My ostomy nurse in the hospital cleaned & put steri strips on it. That made me feel better, but my surgeon was upset that she covered it. He said it could stay on though...who knows. I'm scared to stand up straight when walking b/c of the incision. I wish I had more of an idea of how well I am progressing. I feel like I should be doing more at home. I sit on the couch most of the day. I'll walk laps around the house and of course to the bathroom. I feel like I should be ready for more, but I don't won't to over do it and cause problems. Car rides are still pretty uncomfortable.

Thanks for your help and support! It means a lot to me.
