This is a special note to Sweede--First of all, you wrote about a new product that you raved about that didn't cause skin irritation and possibly helped with bag blowouts. I can't seem to find the tip that you wrote about and I also want to tell you that I read your blog and believe that you missed your calling., You should be a professional writer. You have some gift!!! I can't believe that you have been through what you have and still maintain an amazing sense of humor and zest for life. God bless you!!!

I have researched this new product and it is not available yet in this country. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the people in the organization have been. They are sending me samples in different sizes and say they will keep me supplied , if I like the product, until it is available here. I got immediate attention when I wrote to them. Sounds to me like the U K is on the cutting edge and ahead of us in their research. I will keep you all posted. I am very grateful for this site and to the people who write with their help and hints. Hope I can do the same for you.

Hi Crossley. Ya know, I think it’s all about feelings. I don’t mean the pain feelings which could control everything. I mean the feelings inside our heads, our hearts and even our souls. I mean the feelings of who we are now compared to who we were; how we accept our situation or maybe we don’t. My wife asked how I felt and I said, “like crap”. She asked what hurt and I answered, “Nothing hurts, well, everything hurts, I don’t know, It all sucks.” That was a long time ago. You question if your feelings are normal. How normal is it to relocate your butt hole to your belly where it’s usually in the way of your belt and, you know. But that’s where we are and for lots of us we are so much better off than we were before, physically. Emotionally, psychologically, well, that might be a different story. I believe talk therapy is wonderful if we could find a real empathic or sympathetic listener. So guess what! I found MAO and began “talking” with a keyboard with some of the wisest, kindest most sympathetic and compassionate folks on the planet. Regardless of where we’ve been, lots of folks here have been there and worse places and found their way back healthier and happier. We really do help each other.
Keep “talking”,
Mike
