THANK YOU STOMA.

There’s lots to thank my stoma for

if I ignore things I abhor.

Believe me, it improved my life

relieving me from former strife.

It diminished consternation

right alongside constipation.

It cut out all my rotten gut

and rectified my prolapsed butt.

It freed me from incontinence

that had come to prominence.

It took away my chronic pain

so I could live my life again.

I know my stoma made me glad

for stopping hassle that I had.

As I reflect I can recall

I’d not expect a life at all.

My stoma gave life quality

and with it a little jollity.

It is not easy to explain

the intricacies of my gain.

I have the type of ostomy

that they call colostomy.

This means I can mitigate

some hassles and can irrigate.

Well, this gets rid of all my waste

without the smell people distaste.

When all the poo’s gone in one go

then it’s all done and folks don’t know.

Now as I sit upon the loo

not only does my stoma poo

but I can use the time to do

a few more lines of rhymes for you.

I just finished reading the Ostomy Tips Book under COLLECTIONS at the top of the page. I did not realize how much information was there. It covers a lot

of things that people have questions about. Hope this may answer some things for people. Best wishes and stay safe

Great, but for me the best thing is bringing the family together, the kindness of friends, and the amazing nurses.

Thank you blueonthetyne and taoh for your comments. I'm glad for you taoh that it has brought you these positive things. If I had such great experiences I would surely have put them to verse.However, there are so many people on this site who are supportive and friendly that any of those less than positive people we meet in daily life can be counterbalanced by those who show support. I will blog another verse 'defining friends'that tries to capture this sentiment. Best wishes Bill
