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!
