Hi everyone, my name's Stephen. I had an ileostomy bag in April last year, as my Crohn's decided to give me one final good kicking on the inside, but hey ho, it's not all bad. I no longer have to plan toilet routes if I want to go out, or have to suddenly rush off to the toilet, so it's definitely helped my life. The only thing that saddens me is I no longer feel sexy when my clothes are off, as I miss my flat tum, but I suppose it could be worse. So, I keep my chin up and carry on. I love music; it's my life, and I'm a singer and bass player in a band, although I can play some guitar too. Well, I just wanted to say hi to everyone, so hello.

Hi Stephen. I hear you on the "not having to plan a toilet route" anymore. Although occasionally I still have to quickly make my way there. (Hey dude, sorry I cut you off...but trust me, it's better I make it there, than here in the aisle on your shoes.) Chin up!

Dear Everyone 😊🙏🏻☮️❤️👼😊🌈☀️🌹🤗👩🏻☀️
Hello! Hope your all, having a great start of your day! I have to say this place has been helpful in many ways and the people here, seem very real and mostly helpful in anyway! I usually don't bother anyone really and try to figure out different things on my own, but that is with common sense, but with experience definitely helps and I read stories and I have my own stories and it's been so much and it's nice to have friends here, who understand same kind of situation 😊
I think it's great when people help each other and who is helpful in different ways! I appreciate anything advice etc... Thank you all and very happy this site is here ! I hope you have a good day/night! I'm trying to figure out how to take care of me more then I used to as I think of others more then myself! I'm hoping your all having a great summer!
