Hi to all

I went out this morning on the bus to go shopping when I got their I thought I need the loo so went 🙃 and my bowel erupted messed loo up my clothes everything toilet wouldn't even flush)
Washed my hands ✋️ and heard the toilet cleaner say who's been in their so I said sorry it was me I have a bowel condition it was like she was saying I did it on periods I have no bowel control) she said she would sort it I am really annoyed if they had done my colostomy sooner I wouldn't be in this embarrassing mess.

Had to go home and get cleaned up
What can I do to get my operation done quicker.

    I'm sorry to hear that happened @Sparklebright63, as I can imagine it was really unpleasant. 

    Have you updated your doctor on how your bowel problems are affecting you?

    Hello @Sparklebright63

    I hope you are feeling ok today?

    I have IBD too and had ileostomy surgery earlier this year. Have you had your pre-op appointment / assessment yet? A piece of advice I can add on here, is to contact your surgeon's secretary and ask to be put on the cancellation list, if they have one. That is, of course, if you are able to go in at short notice.

    Hi @Sparklebright63

    Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you on the 12th that they are able to give you more information / hopefully a date! 🤞 and then once the heart issue is sorted, you can get a date for your operation :)
