Well here goes, my first ever blog, hope someone reads it. I've had my urostomy for 15 years now due to a spinal injury. I try to live life to the full. I love going on holiday; Turkey is my favorite place, having been there for the last 6 years. Last year, we went to NZ, stopped over in Singapore for 2 nights to break the journey. It was a fabulous place, only one problem I had was the fact that because it was so humid, my stoma pouches wouldn't stick, which was bloody annoying when you're on a coach trip and hey, you have a leak. We had 3 amazing weeks in NZ, then back home via Hong Kong for another 2 nights. The only thing I found a pain was the long flights, especially with a stoma. I was scared to take a nap in case I slept too long and got a leak on the plane. But hey, it was okay. I am heading off to Poland at the end of this month, so I am looking forward to that. I think I will need my thermal long johns for that trip.
Be lucky, people. (And please comment)
