Thank you for the kind words, John.
I’m better pain-wise, but can’t lift much.
Your situation(s) sound far worse.
My condolences.
Yours was also an injury worthy of community intervention.
I don’t think I deserve any collective effort massed under a battle cry of “My back hurts.”
For now I’m hanging in there and have a great wife eager to help.
Things could be a lot worse.
I hope for your complete recovery.
The bathroom can be a dangerous place.
Just ask Elvis.
(or ask Tim Weyer Smith, a talented synth tech who died in his bathroom.) 
Still, I’m not sure any post with the word Colostomy should ever be considered a sticky.
