It's been a while since I've posted - been on a social media sanity break. When I did check in, I had over 260 unread posts, and instead of trying to reply to them all, I thought I'd say welcome to all the new folks on the site!

You have found yourself in a club nobody wants to be in. But in my case, as with many others here, we would not be alive without our stomas, so here we are.

When I had my surgery, this place was a true lifesaver for me. The kindness, caring, encouragement, and support I received allowed me to heal and reach acceptance of my new life. No question is too weird, believe me. So ask away!

To those I've been in contact with in the past, I hope you are all doing well!

Hard to believe we are in July already. Been a busy summer here, with swimming, my grandkids, and Saturday a surprise 85th birthday party for my dad. I've invited friends he has not seen in person in over 10 years. Should be fun! A lot of work, but so worth it.

Take care, all!

Glad to hear you are having a fun summer. Surprise parties are so much fun, especially when you can bring together friends that haven't seen each other in person for a long time. Glad you can go swimming too and hang out with your grandkids. This site is a great place to hang out and learn so much. I like getting feedback and giving feedback. It is a lifesaver. And yes, we all belong to a club that maybe we didn't wish for, but here we are, living and loving life.

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
