I am 14+ weeks post-surgery. 07/21/16 I woke up from surgery with a colostomy due to diverticulitis with an abscess. I'm on a couple of sites (besides MAO) that are focused on my "condition." What I have noticed (both on here and other sites) is that a lot of people "name" their stoma, and I decided that it was time that I named mine also.
A few days ago, I was reading a post about the "noises" these things make at the most inopportune moment. Mine is no exception --- I'll be sitting at my desk and off "she" goes ---- talking to the world --- no output --- just NOISE!!! (Some might call it "farting," but I would like to be a bit more PC and call it just "noise"... LOL)
That led me to the name I am giving my stoma.
Friends, meet ----- Francis the talking mule!!
Francis ---- meet my friends on MAO!!

I actually watched Francis on dvd last week lol. It is a bit disconcerting not having control over the noise but thankfully mine seems to do it late at night . (My 10 yo daughter's favourite word is fart lol).
First off, this is a pretty cool site with 39,943 members.
But, it's not all about ostomy. We talk about everything.
Many come here for advice, others find lasting friendships, and some have even found love.

I love it! I'm not going to name mine, so I'll soon be having my reversal, but I think I'd call it PITA because to me that's what it is. Nothing will make me happier than waking up with PITA home forever. I can't imagine living my life in this much pain forever. JMHO
