After getting a little frustrated and bored being at home so much, I went on a little trip over the weekend and stayed with my parents in their lovely caravan. I was relaxing on Saturday and all of a sudden I felt the most amazing rush of love

and overwhelming happiness towards my little friend. I have no idea what set it off, nor can I remember what I was doing at the time. It seems that while I've obviously become attached to it (literally!!!), I suddenly realized how amazing this little thing is.

Isn't it great what this little thing can do, and what a difference it can make!

It never fails to make its presence known though and is happy to voice its opinion (bit like me). I went out for a short walk yesterday and stopped off to have a cuppa and a cake in a nearby bar and while sitting at the table it proceeded to gurgle away quite happily. A while ago I would have been embarrassed and felt awkward, but yesterday I found myself sitting there trying desperately hard not to laugh!!

Just thought it would be good to post something cheery. Hope everyone is well.

Welcome to our reality, my friend... You've rejoined life as we know it and as the song says, I hope you'll dance. This is wonderful! Continued good health and thanks for starting my day with a smile... BEG

Mrs. O, I absolutely loved your story. It is such a great acceptance of an inevitable thing we all have to succumb to! You have such a great outlook on life. I've named my stoma lovingly Gertie, and when she is acting up and making noise, my boyfriend and I just laugh and tell her to try and be quiet.
Cheers, Santabelle

Great story, hun, now you can really get on with your life. I'm sure this will help other newbies to love their stomas. TC, ambies...

Is it not so interesting to see how each of us travels on a different but similar path? For me, I realized I was making progress when I came to a point of neutrality with my stoma. I neither love it nor do I hate it. It is like my left thumbnail or right elbow, just another part of me. A far cry from my first reaction to seeing this alien doggy d!ck protruding from my side and wondering if I'd EVER get used to it.
