I got some more bad news. A short few weeks ago, we also lost another ostomy friend. Well, he was to me another FB friend from here......
GLEN BLOCK, he only turned 50 this year. His wife wrote to me to let me know he was once again rushed to the hospital. Glen Begzy and I had a great chat one day; it was the day we all connected and got each other's email addresses.....
Glen sent me an email not too long ago telling me how happy he had been, but needed a heart and kidney. With sad regret, it wasn't to be. He did know just getting a new heart would be hard, but a double transplant would be next to impossible.

To his wife LIZ, you got the best years of his life, and I'm so sad that this is my second RIP to a "friend." As Glen's post about himself being able to talk about anything, especially the silly things, we hit it off instantly...Omg, Facebook is great for some things, but at the moment I'm scared checking up on my ostomy friends. x x x x x Just a little note: Glen had his 21st heart attack, and I guess it was his time, and I think he knew it too. He did say many times he thought he was a goner, but.................. RIP matey xx

Yeah a year ago I wouldn't have known what to ask to find out I had a parastomal hernia. The only reason I knew about them is from this site. Thank goodness for this site. Otherwise I would still be clueless. If I hadn't though from stuff on here to ask my surgeon about having a hernia, then I would have never had the CT and I would have never known that she should have known about it a year ago.
