ODE TO MY OSTOMY What are you, on me hanging? Why are you so stinky? You make too much noise, By the way, farting is not singing! How did you get here? I demand you go away! Why aren't you leaving?? You're not here to stay?? Hey, wait a minute…. What are you doing??? What the hell is that..?? Are you actually pooing?! You can't stay here, I won't allow it…. I will talk to my doctor… He'll do something about it! Ok, so he said you have to stay, Only for a short time…. Hopefully, only until May. Here are a few rules for you My hanging, droopy friend… I will NOT be embarrassed By what comes out your end; You will schedule yourself when it's convenient for me; No blowouts, no leakage And no dieter's tea!! You won't drip, drool or spatter Have leaks on my floor. You won't fill the bag As I head out the door. Oh, I guess you seem nice enough, Ok, you can stay, I wonder what I'll call you…. Oh screw it!! I CAN'T WAIT TIL MAY!!

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Steve... I don't have an ostomy nurse. I never had anyone come to the house at all.
There's a nurse from the hospital I can call, but she doesn't do anything but answer questions... I can get better info from people on here.

First of all, what a beautiful, truthful poem... I could not have said it better myself.
I too have been sliced and diced not once but three times in five years! And come February, off I go again to surgery. :O

The emotional drama of it just wears you down, but each and every day I get up and face the day with hope and strength that this time is the end... no more surgeries.

By reading everyone's poems, struggles, jokes, it just lets me know that I'm not alone.

Thank you, Ostomates.
Happy New Year
