Well, I'm going to try this because I've read others and enjoyed them. Big day today, going to the match at Sunderland. Two important issues: they need 3 points to be certain of staying in the Premier Division, and it's my first big outing post-op. Going to have a drink and tea, so I may be a bit paranoid about my bag swelling up. Wish me luck.

Oh, it is way too late in the game to wish you luck, so how did things go?

Ahh Mrs. A, all went well but I have had some challenging issues over the past week, but I am overcoming them one by one.

Hi Hatlady and all,
I've had my ostomy for over 50 years, since I was a kid, and didn't think I really needed to be part of the ostomy site. But once active, I came to realize, that although I may not need help at the time, I was able to reach out and help others in need. Back in the day, before stoma therapists, I use to visit new patients in the hospital or homes ... While professionals are great, it is also good to be able to speak with people with personal experience. I was a free member for awhile, but after writing often, I was given free months. I then started paying, and decided to just take lifetime membership. After all, I was going to have my ostomy for the rest of my life. I'm one of those people who can disappear for a few months at a time, but I'm always glad that the site is here, I can return and reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This is an excellent site ... Best regards to all ... and Best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Glad to hear it blue~ Keep up the good work, never let it get to you. One issue at a time is the best way in my opinion.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
