Hi : I know you are very new to the world of an Ostomate.
UOAA is our National organization. I suggest you check it out.
I've enclosed Florida support groups which are from their Phoenix magazine.
Hope this helps We are all here for you 🌈
MeetAnOstoMate is a remarkable community of 41,410 members.
“Every morning with my coffee, I read here and feel wrapped in warmth - I hardly post, but it still feels like family.”
“Our oncologist literally wrote down the link; they said more patients need this website.”
“This place pulled me out of the dark. I went from lurking to living again.”
“At 3am, someone’s awake somewhere in the world. I’m never alone here.”

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,
SharkFan

I’m in South Pasadena! I’ve had my stoma called “Eddie” for 2+ years. I don’t know of any groups but I’m not too far away. I’m happy to help any way I can.
