Well, I'm back again. It's been 5 years since my last blog. Well... what’s happened since?
I'm now 42. I’ve had 5 operations and am now awaiting my 6th. I keep getting hernias. I’ve had my stoma moved to the left side last year.
Just now, I have to get two hernias, one on each side. I'm getting fed up with them operating year after year just to get nowhere.
Why do they keep doing this to my body and getting nowhere? Maybe I'm at the wrong hospital. I'm not having much luck here. Well, I have my op next month. Fingers crossed it goes well this time.
I'm still looking for my princess, as people seem to run away due to not working, staying at my parents', and having a stoma as well.
Well, how things change. 10 years ago, I was married, had a 30k-a-year job, and was happy with two kids. Now, I’m divorced, not working, and living at home.
How life has changed for me since I’ve had my stoma, but hey, life goes on. I’m alive, and that’s the important thing here.
Still looking for my princess. If you're reading this and would like to get in touch, lol.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.
