Hi everyone
Now that Halloween is upon us, all the ghoulish posts are showing up on Facebook
My niece from the Carolinas, who I haven't seen for years, shared someone's post
Of a beautiful big orange pumpkin with a colostomy bag attached to its side, which is half full of pumpkin seeds
When I first saw it, I thought, "Hmmmmm, not very funny!" but after looking at it again, it made me laugh
I'm sure my niece has forgotten that I have one....she is a nurse, so she is probably very aware of ostomies, and she is a lovely person
Who I know wouldn't want to hurt mine or anyone's feelings....I put a LOL and laughing face on it and wrote a comment which says
"OUCH, if that was how my ostomy worked, I would be in hospital with a blockage" LOL
I knew she and all her friends and other members of my family who might not even know I have an ostomy would see it
Someone must have really put some thought into that, and I have never seen an ostomy joke before, so I think it is quite unique
How do you feel about it? What are some of your thoughts?
I really needed to share this with you and hope it puts a smile on your face...
Cheers!
