Greetings,
I was not sure where to place this but wanted to introduce myself. :-)
49-year-old Canadian man, went into the hospital Dec 4th (2022) for diverticulitis pain and woke up with a colostomy bag. No idea this was going to happen.
I know I am lucky to be alive and with my family and was told it will likely be reversed which I should also be very thankful for yet I'm just overwhelmed. Over time I am sure it will fade but am thankful for sites such as this. I had no idea what a strong community this is.
Thanks for having me. :-)
