They really work hard to keep you comfortable and make sure you have everything that you need. I had almost no discomfort for the first 48 hours because of the pain killer pump and after that was out I had no trouble getting pain pills or individual meds in my IV as I needed them. Honestly, getting used to the ostomy was the hardest part of the whole thing. You really will be ok! :-)run4pancakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471048981097606470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837757982605931524.post-19035875665041947532011-08-15T17:06:13.757-07:002011-08-15T17:06:13.757-07:00I some how came across your blog and you have insp...I some how came across your blog and you have inspired me to create my own!
