and what i meant by my comment is its not an end to her life and there won't be any dietary restrictions etc so its not like a major traumatic event that will haunt her again she'll be fine the only thing that's a risk atm is infection which can occur months down the road

although i suppose its a matter of pov; im not saying she should be like "whatever" but she shouldn't feel like its the end of her life

No, of course it's not the end of her life. But obviously - there should still be a financial return. They screwed up. Imagine someone drove over your foot, and you lost your pinky toe. Is it the end of your life? No. But should you receive financial compensation? yes. There's no money in the world that can give her the half-colon back, but she deserves to be paid.
