A Ostomy story

I was diagnosed with a microperforated bowel on 2.11.17. On 2.16.17 I perforated because of diverticulitis.  Spent 2 weeks in the hospital.  Wasted away to 110 pounds. Went back to work March 30 and am doing well.  Gained 20+ pounds back and feeling great. Scheduled to have colostomy reversed in August!
