Other resources for info

Well, I went to the surgeon for a consult today hoping they would tell me they will do surgery to help me out and they will! I'm going to have a total proctectomy with end colostomy. Since my Crohn's is only in my rectum, she said that the best thing would be to get rid of my rectum and give me a colostomy. I think this sounds wonderful and I'm so excited to spend even 5 minutes without the constant BS that it this DD, let alone longer!

Now, healingwell is a fabulous resource for this sort of thing but I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any other resources that have a lot of good info that I can look at until my op? I am really looking for some sort of colostomy resources since I have been able to find a lot on ileostomy, but not really colostomy.

Has anyone had this done?? Advice? Your story?
