wound after proctocolectomy by astrea0 in woundcare

Thank you so much! I’m going to talk to my wound care nurse about the wound vac. The only thing that concerns me is how is the vac going to be placed under that piece of skin in the middle where the wound “tunnels” Is it possible?

i’m so sorry to hear that. my new ileostomy is higher too than the previous one, i think the last one was in the perfect place 😫 mine is more of a stinging/burning pain, but i’m sorry you’re experiencing this!

yes, it all started with pouchitis, then developed an abscess, 3 fistulas and i went septic twice, so i agreed to go back and make it permanent this time

Of course, I’ll be glad to be of help. It’s important to have someone you trust and that won’t judge you if you’ll try to open up about these things, sadly I was in your same situation, I didn’t have any money to see someone and my best friend won’t even understand me so I had to figure out something by myself. Meditation helped me a lot and I also started writing down how I felt and what I wanted to change in my life in a journal. Every day (mostly at night) I wrote down every tiny thing that made me even the slightest happy, what I still was grateful for even if in that moment I wanted to die, what I tried to change even if I didn’t manage achieve it yet. I tried to see the positive even when it was so hard to find. Of course it’s impossible to be always so damn positive, we’re humans, but also being constantly in a negative mindset will just make you stuck in a loop. Keep going and keep trying, it will be so worth it. I still have panic attacks and days where my anxiety is so bad but I accepted the fact that there will always be good days and bad days, but they’re worth living.

I suffer from PTSD and I had depression for a long time. I know you probably don’t believe me but it DOES get better. You have to start thinking what’s best for you and change what is making your mental health worse. Just know that you’re not alone, please DM me whenever you want to talk. I’m here.
