Is anyone going to attend the United Assoc. of America convention in Orlando, Florida, this year?
August 14th to 16th?

Nope. I'm not sure what I could learn there about an ostomy that I can't Google, and I couldn't deal with those who dwell on having an ostomy and let it run their life.

No, that is too far away from where I live. But I bet it is a good one. Are you planning on going?

Talking about having an ostomy can be uncomfortable for most people. Still, it's something you can't always avoid.

I wish we could all get together and just have fun. We know each other pretty well on another level already. 🍻

So I've been in the same boat—just wanting to get together and have fun. I already know everything I need to know about my ostomy. That said, I still go to every conference for the connections and just to be around other people like me for a while. It really is an amazing experience—and you never know, something might catch your interest that you didn't expect.
It is a conference, so yeah, there are plenty of conference-type things. But honestly, you don't have to go to all of them—or any of them, really. A lot of people break off into smaller groups and do their own thing outside the main events too.
I'd highly recommend it!
