Hey ostomates, it's been a while. A lot of family issues—my sister passed away on August 12. She had cancer and fought it for 15 years. God bless her. She had skin cancer and was 56 years old, one of the twins. Her twin passed away, my brother had cancer too, and my twin passed as well. I'm the last of the twins in my family. I have 3 sisters left. I'm doing okay; had my first bag spill out in almost 5 years, not bad. Anyway, I'm thinking positive as time goes on. My photos and my cat Edie keep me smiling. I'm interested in chatting with single women, ages 50 to 90, just friends. Anyway, take care folks and keep smiling. slippery 5442.

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.
