Finally I got some picts to show the world what I've been talking about.
For those of you who just drop by occasionally to see if I've updated on my progress, well I'm doing great except I've developed this dent in my belly above my little stoma.
Its not painful and I haven't noticed a significant change in intubating but intubating is a little different every day, how can I tell?
Its darker than the rest of my stomach and it appeared sometime in January. I believe it is more pronounced than it was a month ago. So tell me, should I tell the Doc?
The tissue is because my stoma drools and I don't want it on my clothes

Love the pics--When I had my ileostomy I wasn't ready to come to terms with it, and never took any photos. I got my j-pouch in October and am feeling great, though know full well there's always a chance I'll be going back to the ileo again. Still, that'll be feeling the way I did for so long.
Love your blog--I don't know many who have gone through what we have (and you've gone through much more than me), so it's inspiring to read someone else's journey.
in last post i meant to say "beat the feeling," not "be the feeling." so much for proofreading.
That's hilarious - I can't believe you named your pouch after Remzi!
