So if you want a good distraction from any of your Crohn's, colitis, or ostomy stresses... watch some Shark Week on Discovery! I'd rather be swimming with sharks than go through more surgeries! After 8 years of CD, I ended up with an (unplanned) ileostomy, still recovering, so I live in my room, knitting and watching Shark Week. Random question: Am I able to go scuba diving with an ostomy, with all the heavy gear and such???
