I've had my stoma for about four months, and I'm finally at the stage where I'm able to joke about it more and more, so I decided to draw a comic about it. :)

I thought I would post it for all of you to see, since a large portion of my audience doesn't know what it's like to have one. Lol. I hope you all enjoy it. :)

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.

I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.

I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

HAHA! I'm loving it. I took the time to peruse a few more of your comics, and was quite impressed! It's not just the subtle wittiness of the comics, but even the drawings are terribly cute and endearing. I think you've done a superb job and sincerely hope that you keep it up!

I read on your comic site that you lost your entire colon due to colitis, and couldn't help but notice that you appear to be a very young man. Well,  I wanted to comment not only to congratulate you on a great comic, but also to send a virtual wave your way because my husband was diagnosed with UC when he was 18, and suffered for YEARS on and off with it until he had a total colectomy just last year. He's 27 but was 26 when he had it done.

It's been a very interesting, long road to full recovery and now, one year and five months later - we really couldn't be happier with his new found health.
