Well, Wednesday night's trip to the football was such a breeze I'm going to do it again today. One whole week back at work and my first late shifts brought some interesting problems. I tried eating at midday with a 3 PM start, but I found around 8 in the evening the bag started to fill quite drastically. I'm a bus driver and do four and a half hours on the road. I was getting a bit concerned, but I did manage to get through.
I used to go out with a walking club and feel so well and fit. Now I would like to go back to it. What do you think about being in the great outdoors for a whole day? I'm going to give it a try and just pack a few extra bits in my walking bag. Happy Sunday to you all.

You'll be eating leaky pudding soon. Exercise of any sort is brilliant. Get your boots out, get going. Take a spare kit and lots of wipes just in case, but going to the toilet is possibly easier than before. Good luck. Balderee, baldara, etc.

Geekyjen,
Thanks for the reply. I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and mention Entyvio. I did not remain paralyzed for more than 2 days, but it was terrible and I was so scared. The doctors just used alot of xanax and other drugs like that to UN paralyze my joints that were being attacked by the remicade. Turns out I have been diagnosed with LUPUS. It is attacking my nervous system. I had ulcerative colitis in 1996 and they had to remove my colon. Had a J pouch for 10 years, until it started failing. I then got a permanent iliosomy, and I suffer from severe chronic diareha, and I dehydrate frequently. I recently had a proctectomy, and that is when the new autoimmune disorder, Lupus, appeared. I have had two hospital stays now because of the blisters and the paralyzing incident. I will be dealing with this forever now. I have just been working on acceptance.
I love this website because of wonderful people like you!

Had a great time out, Monsieur, and now back in the walking mode. Treated myself to new boots yesterday. You're right, it was much easier; just stepped into the trees, took a black bag out, and the rest is history, as they say. Off again tomorrow. I knew the little pouch in the top of my backpack was there for a reason!

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