    Oh sweetheart, you will get through this. 6 years ago I had rectal cancer and I had good outcome from chemo and radiation although ( I had major radiation burns ). I spent 2 months in the hospital from cancer surgery. I kept getting complications from every thing. I was in isolation the entire time. Long story short....the head of the colorectal surgeons was making rounds one morning and it was a bad day for me. I didn't think I was ever going home. He pulled a chair up to my bed and assured me I was going to get through this tough time. He explained that since everyone of us is different and there are only so many ways to do our type of surgery that some of us make our drs scratch their heads and have to reevaluate our plan of care. Stay hydrated! I thought I was but kept getting readmitted to hospital. Pain mgt was ok for me but my ileostomy took forever for me to get right products to work for me. You will get through this but your journey might be a long one. If you can't vlog for any reason it is OK with us! We want your health to be your main concern then your family etc. We are ok being on the bottom of the list. If the only thing you can say to us is your having some bad days please send prayers we will appreciate you thinking of us and we would be more than happy to pray for your continued healing. Be strong and drink drink drink, every sip helps.

    I've studied the human body as an exercise physiologist for 27 years and the last 7 years I started training in functional medicine. The human body is simply amazing, but everyone has different genetics and those genetics play a major role in how disease plays out in our lives. I do wonder sometimes how good people like yourself deserve such illness though, but it's all part of life for some people. You have a beautiful spirit and despite your illness you are such a light to everyone around you and to those here on UA-cam! I pray a special prayer that God take this illness from you and make you healthy and whole! One thing I can recommend as a health professional is a supplement called SBI Protect. It's a serum derived bovine immunoglobulin. It will significantly boost your immune system and you need this especially since going through chemo.

    I’m so sorry you had such a rough time at the first hospital, my heart goes out to you. My husband was 19 days in the hospital when he got his ileostomy last year. When the body loses organ(s) it wants to fill up that space, so fluid buildup is very very common. At home
    my Hubbie continued dilauded orally one other narcotic and liquid Tylenol, he titrated down eventually to just the Tylenol. He also had blood transfusion and then iron transfusions. It is a journey, but it gets so much better! Hang in there. One really good UA-camr is LetstalkIBD with Maggie. All the best to you! We’re 6 months out from surgery and it’s a world of difference.

I have a brain deterioration disease called C.T.E. it comes from multiple tbi's as well as countless concussions from fighting muay thai for 20 years. Well out of nowhere my brain shutdown my colon and I gained 40 pounds in 4 weeks and in terrible pain. So they took my entire colon out and of course I had multiple complications and I thank God temporarily had an ileostomy as well. When I went home we couldn't keep my pain under control and after a few days my wife was changing my bag and got a little surprise. My pills were coming out looking like I just put them in the bag instead of taking them and then one shot out of my stoma across the room, I was impressed with the distance I must say. Anyways long story short I spent the last two years in and out of the hospital with more organs shutting down because of my brain. The pain with all of it is so much more than anything you could ever compare it to. You're constantly on a pain roller-coaster between a constant 7 and up and down to 9 and 10 religiously. Its a serious battle with your body and your psychological and mental health thats for sure. Anyways I'm still recovering from 9 major surgeries, 20 days at a time in ice, and constant pt to re learn to walk and feed myself (unrelated but happening at the same time thanks to the cte) then worst was March 5th last year. I checked into the er with the same stuff you are describing however this time was a little different. My bowl resection connection failed causing all of my feces to leak directly into my abdominal cavity causing severe sepsis. Heres what is the worst part is. My surgeon and nurses getting me ready for emergency surgery told my amazing wife to give me a hug and a kiss and tell me she loved me because it was highly likely that I wasn't coming out of this one. It was my wife's birthday..... I remember none of it! When I was eventually told I burst into tears because she doesn't deserve anything so terrible to happen to her. So I will continue to send you unlimited prayers and positive thoughts and vibes! The fight continues and I can see you are a fighter like myself and with that we have zero tolerance for failure and we will both beat this terrible fight like we were trained for years to put this battle in win column! Keep up the good fight!

      “I was impressed at the distance” 😂
      That must’ve been so hard on both of you! But you fought not only for you but for your wife and I’m so happy you are doing better ?? Sure seems like it. I feel very blessed because I’m only 5 weeks after surgery and feel so much better. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏼

      @@VanessaLPZ1 that is awesome! You are clearly a very strong willed fighter! It always helps to have a strong relationship in faith as well thats for sure. It was hard but at the same time all of this has only made us so much stronger and closer. It seems like every single day I wake up above ground, we fall even more love with each other every day. Im very blessed to have her and my service dog a boy named "Sue" in my corner. I know that ultimately I'm living on borrowed time because of the cte and what it does to your body, I've lost a few friends my age to this brain disease from fighting as well but we don't focus or dwell on that and we live our lives for each other and take every single little "win" we can. Not to mention keeping a great sense of humor about it. That alone makes life easier to deal with when we hit little hiccups. Laughter might not be a literal best medicine but I tell you what, its better than any medicine. For instance when I stand up from sitting down my vertigo and balance refuse to let me just get up and go so I sing I'm a little tea pot in my head before I take a step so I don't fall down. You have to laugh at that, however the first few times I did it I sang out loud and found myself at the here is my handle, here is my spout, I would go through the motions without realizing it and it made it hilarious when I fell down because who does that ya know? Anyway, our thoughts and prayers will be with you every single day! You are awesome and you have alot to offer this world for years and years to come! That alone will help others in the same situation be stronger by seeing you and how your strength has made you even stronger as every day passes.

    Dear Vanessa, Just wanted to let you know how touched I was by your experience and that I'm praying for your recovery. I absolutely understand your need to leave the hospital at your first discharge opportunity because I too got to that point after nearly two weeks in the hospital. After discharge on another occasion I too ended up in the ER hours later so I know that sinking feeling that things are not progressing as hoped for. You are facing these challenges with such courage and grace. Be assured that I (and I'm sure many others) admire your fortitude, especially given the isolation imposed by Co-Vid restrictions. No one should be denied the presence of ONE family member when hospitalized. Family members are ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL in the recovery process. Rest assured that you are touching the hearts of so many by sharing your journey.
    I can do all things through Him that strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

    Hi, honey. You are strong and you are delicate sometimes and you are good all the time. I'm so proud of you. You know, I had my uterus and ovaries and fallopian tubes and cervix taken out Monday afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon it will be one week. The thing that made me smile is that you wore the same soft beautiful pajamas out of the hospital as the ones that I wore. My daughter ordered them for me when I found out I needed surgery. I am so relieved for you that you are in a very comfortable room that is quiet and with a beautiful view. If you can't get sleep then you can't heal. I lost my husband 18 months ago when he died in our kitchen on his birthday. Because of covid, I've had to do all of this stuff by myself. I know I could not have gone through all of this alone. I know that God never leaves me. Sweet young lady, when you were crying and upset because of having parts of your female organs removed, I understood you so well. It is a woman thing, just like you said. I had my children a long time ago but, I also feared that I wouldn't feel like the same person afterwards. But, I found out that I am the same person no matter what they take out. You have hundreds of us praying for you and who are walking down this path with you and we are holding your hand the whole way. I can't wait for the day that your order of Chinese noodles come and we are all together celebrating that you are completely healed and all of this is behind you. If you are ever in need of someone to talk to let me know. I am a fairly young widow and I am alone in the world now. My dog Charlie is very good company, though. I showed her my abdomen and said boo boo the night I came home from the hospital and I was in so much pain. She laid on the carpet and gave me such a compassionate look and sighed. I usually wake up extremely nauseous from surgery. But, this time they put a patch behind my ear and that took care of it. If I'm ever nauseous, I make sure I have a bottle of ginger root on my nightstand. Take care, sweetheart. My heart is with you. Sincerely, Carly💜 Your children are absolutely adorable! I hope that you understand how many people that you're helping every single day. You are a blessing to so many. I found you because I was afraid of my simple surgery and I found a wonderful family and you. I truly believe that we will walk over that finish line and have a Chinese dinner night all together. I'm 100% Sicilian, and just like you, we love our family and our food! 🌺🌸🌷

    It is terrible that you were not allowed visitors - and hubby for just one day. Thank you for making these videos. You never know that someday you will help somebody else because of what you are recording. Think of the people like me who will watch this video as being beside you, going through this with you, just not able to be there in person. And if you cry, it will just be between you and me, and I hope it will hp you to feel better. The next video I hope to see you at home, healing. You are one determined young woman.

    I'm so sorry for all you've been through. Cancer treatments are hard for the body. With my breast cancer, I got blood clots and sepsis on chemo, and a fever of 105. They prepared to inform my family that I wasn't going to make it. After being packed in ice at night for 6 days, I got better and left the hospital after 10 days. People who have had cancer especially, can really sympathize. We wonder: why cant the treatments be more human? And we pray new inventions will make life easier. Try to stay strong. I'm here, healthy, 7 years after that. You will be too. You will be fine. The process is very very hard. But its a short term thing. When you are going through it, its hard to believe. But, I promise you its true. Praying for you.

    My heart goes out to you! That was me 10 years ago. I, 100% understand your emotions, and I so wish that I lived near you, because I would help you through this healing process as much as I could. Your husband is amazing and will be your rock and will take great care of you. You can see his outpouring of love for you, and that’s super important. I had colorectal cancer, had a colon resection, then had a leakage a couple days after surgery. I was becoming septic, and was so sick. I had an emergency CT scan, ended up back in the OR that same day, and woke up with an Ilieostomy for 3 months. I was on a high dosage of antibiotics for an entire month, that messed with my head. It made me depressed, emotional, scared, and feeling like there was no end. Please know that you will continue to heal. Please know that even though it may not feel like it, at the moment-there’s a light at the end of your tunnel, and you will heal. It helped me to find an Ostomy support group. Perhaps you could do the same when you feel up to it. Keep your faith. You’re in my prayer.
