I've known people with colostomy bags. No fun. OTOH, the scars from the large incisions give you bragging rights. And while the incision remains sensitive (as opposed to tender) for a year or two, it does ease with time. I'm very glad to read that your healing process is proceeding in a positive direction!
@Sara-s sorry to hear you’ve been having a hard time of it lately. Prayers for recovery, and that you feel better soon!
