I Have A Colostomy That Recently Has Given Me Many

I have a colostomy that recently has given me many problems. Some part of my intestine ended up stuck in my colostomy and g.I. Dr said see if it will work itself out, then my colostomy ended up in a hernia and I was told I have five hernias in my colostomy but surgery to correct would make it all worse. It still puts out b.m. so not going to do anything now. Now I haven't told anyone but there's something in and around my colostomy that kind of scares me. It has a tail that feels like the tail of a shrimp and, guessing it's same thing, has feelers or something that will wrap around your finger and haven't been able to see it but has parts like fishing line, but they are stiff. It also puts out white mucous that looks like little worms but don't move. The parts that are like fishing line feel like they do move and even curl up when I pull on them, they come out in my bag, and are pretty long but at s point I can't pull anymore but I have broken one off, didn't really do anything, but one pierced my thumb. All of this sounds crazy and I am worried I have some kind of bug or intestine parasites. The thing with the fishing line legs and putting out mucous scares me, when I managed to grab it for a. Second, it felt kinda like a spider. I'm guessing the intestine that wraps around my finger is part of the same. Is this possible? My colostomy has so many hernias that there are always intestines moving around. I had a colonoscopy about three weeks ago. I stayed in the hospital and had to drink prep for four nights before they felt like it was clear enough. I am paralyzed at t6 from taking prednisone too long and bone being crushed. They say I have paralyzed large intestine and diverticulitis with my colostomy being inside the hernia but this just started. Could I have parasites in my abdomen? Or am I crazy? Hope to hear any feedback at all.
