Got the game plan

Got the game plan. Go in the 25th. He cuts the cancer part of the rectum out. If it looks like a good reconnection he is out of there. If his gut feel is the reconnection needs a rest, he will put me on a temp bag. He said I would be in for 4 to 5 days. When he did the first transanal surgery on me in 08, he cut over ¾ around the rectum with no problem. I think he will pull this off with out bagging me. Sure as hell am not looking forward to the “retraining” of my gut for pooping. My hope is I just get the MPS problem for a while. Kerry |

MPS = multiple poop syndrome
MPS = multiple poop syndrome. You have to crap a hell of a lot more then just every morning.

Thanks for the update...you know, I don't miss my rectum much...my descending colon has risen to the job, and does quite well, unless I flood it with cashews, which I have been doing for the past week...ROFL!

Good plan
I hope you can avoid the bag. Just in case, you should really enjoy the crapper for the next week. I mean really ENJOY it. Take the paper, a magazine, maybe a cup of coffee.

I'd just sit for a extra 10 min for the next week. Not done till you get the halo butt thing going. Glad you have a plan of attack!!
