I don't guess I want to use that. Big fear of mine is getting strandedWhen Ford repaired our car, they drove us to the store and had a Uber pick us up. We waited outside the store in a shopping center while the Uber waited in a parking lot. They texted us the make and model of the vehicle and I flagged him but by then he said he now has someone else to pick up so he left and we had to wait for another driver
I hope there's not gonna be a test on this!The site of a colostomy or an ileostomy depends on the part of the intestine that is affected. The different types of colostomies are named based on where they are in the colon.
- A sigmoid colostomy is in the sigmoid colon, which is the part of the colon that connects to the rectum. A sigmoid colostomy is the most common type of colostomy.
- A descending colostomy is in the descending colon, which is the part of the colon that goes down the left side of the abdomen.
- A transverse colostomy is in the transverse colon, which is the part of the colon that goes across the upper abdomen.
- An ascending colostomy is in the ascending colon, which is the first part of the colon. It starts at the
cecum
and goes up the right side of the abdomen. An ascending colostomy is not commonly done because doctors prefer to do an ileostomy.- An ileostomy is in the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine.
