High Everyone,
So I passed the one month post takedown mark and all is going pretty ok most days. But I have a few questions. A little background, I had a very low rectal tumor. So low, in fact, that the 2 local surgeons that saw me early on both said I would have a permanent colostomy which I was ok with as long as it helped me beat this and be able to spend more time with my wife and kids. As it turned out 2 small metastasis were found in my liver which gave me a trip to Mayo in Rochester. After meeting with the liver surgeon I was referred to Dr. Larson a colorectal surgeon who, as the title implies, was able to save me from the colostomy. So I really have no rectum left.
Anyway, most days, if I behave myself, I have a fairly decent routine going. I wake up and usually have a fairly “normal” BM. I then go about my day with a few scattered very small bm’s until evening when it is fractured city, many trips to the bathroom over a couple of hours. It is this time that I tend to have an accident or two which if I didn’t have a sense of humor a could be a real downer. Anyway I am glad to be In the spot I am in and wish all could be at NED land. My questions are is this fairly normal and what have people done to get the fragmentation down?
I was given the eat whatever you want but in smaller quantities diet. I have found a few things that seem to trigger it but I don’t really know how long it takes to get through you so I don’t really know.
