Hi everyone, Rosiesmom here. I have not posted for a while but have looked in on you all from time to time. Life has been quite chaotic these last couple of months. Visitors, vacation, my oldest son and family moving house, Grandma on call babysitting, etc. My sister also was seriously ill, touch and go for a while, but thank God she is finally on the mend. I have been staying with her off and on. It has been busy, but I am grateful to feel well enough to handle it. Rosie and I are getting along fine, touch wood. Just wanted to say hi to everyone. To the newbies, keep up the good fight and always remember you belong to an elite group of fighters and survivors. Love to all. Gail aka Rosiesmom

Hello everyone!!!
It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
