Thanks everyone for your replies. You all were right and the appointment scheduler goofed. I did not need any enemas.
I saw Dr. Wexner on Monday and he felt my abdomen and said that my small intestines were still in a knotted mass and need time to heal.
I am supposed to do 4 tests and see him again in March. The imagery tests are:
- fistulagram through tube
- gastrograffin enema
- upper gi small bowel follow through and
- ct scan abdomen and pelvis with oral & iv & rectal contrast.
Depending on my rate of healing, I may be able to have surgery for my ileostomy in June (1 year from previous surgery), if ever.
I was very discouraged, because I was under the impression that I may be ready for surgery. Every 2 weeks my sutures have been coming out and I've had to have them resutured to my abdomen and the tube. It's very uncomfortable and I've been taking pain pills to withstand the pain. It's going to be very difficult to wait through another 6 months of this.
