5 Weeks out
74 yr. old man. 5 weeks out from Bladder removal, prostrate and glands….. Spent 3 weeks in hosp. due to infections. Nothing to eat for 2 1/2 weeks. Had one of my stints retract inside and poked a hole into my stomach. Ct scan showed no leakage and they will remove it in a week . They inserted another one from the back into my kidney. (it’s white and has a little rectangle box at the end). That one they said may have to stay in permanently. The other has not yet worked it’s way out. They will know more at a later date. Q- Has anyone else had anything like that happen? Otherwise just getting used to ostomy bag. I never knew I produced so much fluid. I empty bag at 1/3 to 1/2 about every hour and a half. I guess I better get used to it.
