If you live in Canada and have a stoma, you can receive a large tax credit. Go to www.ostomycanada.ca
I did this and received a $17,000 tax credit plus I now have an $8,000+ tax credit per year for life.
Interested? Hint, you need to use a certain phraseology which is in the Ostomy Canada's brochure. They will help.
I actually filled in the whole form including the doctor's part; all he had to do was sign and date it. He did not get upset as time is money, especially for doctors.

I got rejected the first time because my doctor barely wrote anything and I paid him $80 to fill out the forms. Doctors don't know what we go through day to day, so I filled out all the forms myself and my doctor read them over and agreed with what I had written and signed them, and I got approved. If they reject you, keep applying over and over again. The first time they approved me for like 8 years, and the second time they approved me for life.

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,

I only got approved for 5 years, which is so odd. Nothing will be different in 5 years.
It makes no sense at all. If it's permanent, it's permanent, nothing is going to change.
