I've called my stoma Winnie, after Winnie the Pooh. I think I must be a major crackpot as I refer to her as a third person, speak to her in the mornings when washing her (normally apologizing for the sag masala curry I had the night before), and even sing to it at times the Winnie the Pooh theme song.
I'm really attached to her now after a month, and I'm not really sure I want her to be reversed.
Does that make me insane?
Opinions please xxxx
