I notice it's easy to hate a stoma when you have options. I'm willing to bet you would probably be dead without that stoma that you hate so much. Glass half full, half empty, just depends on your perspective.

Mine also saved my life, but two years on, my mental health is being affected. Not really excepted it in hospital for 3 weeks. Originally, my partner was suffering from Alzheimer's. Lost so much valuable time.

Why has something that has saved your life affected your mental health? I'd think getting a life-saving thing would open up life's doors to enjoy.

I regret spending so much time on my health and watching the person I love fade. The feeling of guilt will be with me forever. I can only last 1 more year. If I had no option, then I may accept my storm.
