To all those kind people who have gone out of their way to help me over the past year or so and made my life with a stoma more bearable, I wish you all a most heartfelt thanks.
I won't name names; you know who you are and will always be in my heart, as any newbie can understand the trials of 'POOF' and the inevitable cleanup. I wish you all the best of the season, Ed

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Aww, yup, there are many thanks to all the people on here that try to help and find answers or just lend a deaf ear so that people can vent.

Talking about having an ostomy can be uncomfortable for most people. Still, it's something you can't always avoid.

I was interested to hear you also suffer from tiredness. I find I can go about my daily routine and then all of a sudden I am in bed for a couple of days - completely crash. Then it gets better again until another crash. Any tips, or is it just pacing as you say?
