How do folks,
Well, it has been 10 years to today, after more than 8 hours in the operating room and lots of trials and tribulations of getting and having my ileostomy. I'm happy to say that I'm doing very well. Knock on wood, thus far I haven't had any real issues or troubles. Let's hope for another 10 years without any issues or troubles. Keeping a positive attitude and not letting it control me and depress me, for life is wonderful.
