I'm thinking of your Gran Kiwi, and your family. You have had alot to go thru the last few months.  You may find the doctors are trying to make the quality of her passing better .  A blocked bowel would slowly poison her to death, not good.  Thinking of it positively maybe the man upstairs thinks she still has a purpose down here before she goes. Maybe somebody can benefit from having that amazing old lady in their life for a while longer.

My thoughts are with you.  I hope that her last days are lived as comfortably as possible.

Aww Kiwi, poor darlin.

What the girls have said here I guess u can see is right.  The docs will be doing this for her comfort and of course to stop any infection that may happen.

There is a real embarrasment through the colostomy bag and the catheter (urine), none of us expect to have no control or ability in this area.

Thinking of you hon, wishing you strength to get yourself through this one.

  I know you can do this

The surgery may make her more comfortable. Pain can make many people wish to end their own lives when once the pain is correctly managed they are more than happy to continue living.

I will pray for your Nana.

She had full blood tranfussion and now has a morfen pump.

I know they did the right thing and it is us just wanting her to be at piece.

 

She is doing amazing.  This would have to be the tuffest lady I have ever met. 

 

Thank you all, you are are the best

How is your Nana getting on Kiwi?

All pain gone and back at the home and pissed off she did not go.

Thank you for asking.

I was gonna post a few days back but am working very hard at moment.  Lots of work on..

Thanks Kiwi, Im glad she isnt in pain anymore.

well, my poor sister had the same thing happen!!  had an unrelated surgery, and something was fused to her bowel and she is now stuck in hospital for minimum 6 weeks.  hopefully she will heal well and not be stuck with a c bag for life (she has one at the moment).  and, she was taking a walk down the corridor last week and it burst (the bag), she was MORTIFIED!! 

Oh Bo!! I really feel for your sis.  Same thing happened to my dad but it was an oliostomy bag straight off his stomach.  It was ages before they could remove it because being old and unwell he didn't heal well.  He has passed on now but his pride was so hurt by the bag.  For a young woman it would be the pitts.

Is your Nana improving Kiwi?

 

My last living grandmother tries to starve herself to death at least once a year

She is doing really well.  Still wants to die but other than that she is great.  She cannot be taken out of the home at all because of the help see needs but had a good Christmas.
