Morning everyone. Another day down. The days are going so quick. Today is 3 weeks since baby Ruby was born and my friend had her emergency operation.
as they say the reversal is as big an operation as the first operation.

I guess the best part is that at least she will be able to be prepared next time around not an emergency.

I sincerely hope there is not a second time around for your friend (unless you were referring to the reversal with that comment of course). I had my colostomy for about 2 years - and your friend may also have hers that long, so maybe drop a hint or two along those lines to her just to prepare her for that eventuality. It is best to go for longer rather than shorter to make sure her bowel has recovered, repaired and healed before she has the reversal.
