Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a long time, but I do check in every so often.
Yesterday was my 3 year stomaversary...the best 3 years! Life has really been incredible. Going where I want, when I want. Waking up without pain. Making plans without worrying I'll have to cancel. Going on long car rides or walks. Eating and THEN going to a movie. Traveling without the anxiety...I even eat in the airport before a flight! Not having to take tons of pills a day. No more colonoscopies. Or preps!!! My life has changed in so many ways.
Why didn't I do this sooner????
I do have a rare day that I hate having my bag, but I always LOVE how it's changed my life.
Initially, this site was my lifeline. So much info and support. I want to say thank you to all those that I leaned on. (Hi Eva Lou!) And for all of you newbies...this is the place to ask all of your questions. Go to your local ostomy support group meetings. It's a great feeling to walk into a room filled with people who are just like us.
Hang in there everyone. Someone told me, it's better to have a bag, then to be in one. Truth!!
