Hello, I have been a member of this website for quite a while. Well, I would like to make some friends here since we have many things in common. For instance, I have had a colostomy since July 2004; well, that has put a damper on my life! I now live in California, and I hope and pray that I can meet someone in the same situation, well, a female of course. Thank you

Well done, Art, I knew you could do it. Now we just sit and wait to see if there are any people in your area who want to meet. Now, where are you? It might be a good idea to put your town or city name. If I were closer, I'd be a friend. Good luck with this; I hope you get some answers at least. Come on, folks, a person in need of a mate is reaching out......

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
