March 21, 2018, obtained an ileostomy (Jake). Jan 07, 2019, Ostomy reversal, ONLY to go from then, until July 27, 2020, dealing with bowel blockage after blockage. It was either another surgery, deal with another possible blockage, or another ileostomy. I chose to bag it up once again, name it Cousin Larry, and life could not be better!! I learned from my previous trip, on having supply kits for trips outside the home, keeping rags nearby, and what to do in case of blowout in public. I learned to not be so darn modest about this. If people are squeamish about this, so be it. End of the day, I am VERY lucky to be alive, and that is what is most important.
Therefore, I am not considered as a newbie here. I have been there, done that, and doing it again tomorrow!!
