Hi everyone

Just joined the site and wanted to say hi to everyone. Had a radical cystectomy in Dec 09, slowly coming to terms with it all. Hoping to meet some great people for chat, wanting to start smiling again xxx

Hi Tine - good morning from grey Wiltshire and welcome to the madhouse. Feel free to ask anything on here; you will always get a response from someone who has been in that position or worse. We're pretty crazy, mind, but hey, we try! Take care, Rachel xx

Hi Rachel and Tine
Welcome Tine, and yes, we are mad here, or so I have found out the last few weeks... Share and ask questions. It sometimes takes a while to get used to having a stoma, but we've all been there before... Think of it as a friend that saved your life...

Welcome Tine, from an old geezer who will go out of his way to make you feel as comfortable as possible, with a warped sense of humor you'll never know what's coming, hopefully a smile once in a while. Ed

Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I think this site will be my second family. Finding life a bit lonely at the minute, so happy I've found this site, and from the comments, I already know it won't be long before I'm smiling and laughing again.

You'll find, as I have, that you get pretty close to the people in here. You know the issues; you can read the pain in what they type, and you can empathize with them. You will get great support here and maybe a laugh or two. There are some real characters in these forums. But I see myself as the mature one here.

It's often very hard to keep the others under control, but I give it my best. Again, welcome to the house of silliness!

I guess you had better just keep polishing it up and keep it at the ready; you never know when you will need it.
