Oh my gosh, yes, he was so sweet to me the other night. He said, "So this is the last time I'll see you with the bag?" I said, "Yes, hopefully." He wanted to see it one last time and touch it, lol. I told him, "Now you've touched an intestine." He's been my little rock! Thank you, thank you!! ❤️

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!

Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.

This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!

Aw, thank you, Axl! I could cry just reading that, very sweet. I may be a bit emotional, but I seem to get that way anymore. I appreciate your kind words. ☺️

This is what came to mind when people started mentioning the title of your post... Yes, I had young children when this movie came out. Haha.

Gosh, Dexie, it sounds like you couldn't have asked for a better outcome! That's absolutely wonderful, and I'm really happy for you. I think we can all relate to the dreaded cough fresh out of surgery. Heck... even a bit after. Hopefully, you didn't sprout a hernia! Thank you for letting me know how yours went. I'm hopeful. ☺️

Hi flies,

After what you've been through, this should be like a walk in the park! And it'll be over before you know it. Just remember to jump on here when you can and let us know how it went! Speedy recovery!

Hey Bob! I'm here waiting now to be called back. Thank you so much, and I hope it is a walk in the park! I'm trying not to worry about the what-ifs... adhesions, strictures... those ugly words scare me. I guess it almost feels like it can't truly be happening. Maybe surreal is the word, I guess. Thank you for your encouragement; it means a lot! And I'll keep you all posted. ☺️
