Hey all, as per the title I'm at a bit of a low place right now. I've had my permanent stoma for 18 months now (I had a looped ileostomy for 18 months previously) and suffered yet another setback with a nice woman. My Crohn's and subsequent mass of operations ended my previous 7-year relationship.
I have taken my time in getting back into the "meeting women" scene as I have been very ill, and it's making me regret agreeing to a proctocolectomy, which is strange as I know things had been desperate and agonizing before the surgery. I just wanted an end to it.
I just feel it's put an end to any chance of meeting someone.
Sorry, not the best first post. I should have really just said hello first.

Your stoma doesn't have to get in the way of sampling local cuisine and activities when you're on vacation.
