A childhood of illness
My story starts the summer before my freshman year of high school. I ended up going to the first day and then being admitted to the hospital and never making it back that year. I ended up with an ileostomy and was never able to get a reversal. We tried 3 times and all three failed. Fast forward 25+ years to now. I have an ER visit about every couple of months due to the high out put..I'm grateful for my ostomy since it saved my life but being dehydrated all the time is frustrating...
