Good morning Ostomates - I'm sure most are aware but for those who are not - today is WORLD OSTOMY DAY. We have a day - isn't that grand? https://www.ostomy.org/event/world-ostomy-day-2018/
I am thrilled to know that our disease is getting some attention. When I was diagnosed with UC in 1983, I didn't even know want it was. People should be informed.
Enjoy our day.

Sounds good! I hope the day went well. Everyday is my small-world ostomy day!
Best wishes

Hello and welcome to meet an ostomate. The site charges a fee only for Full Membership, you can still interact with members here via the forums and the public chat room with free membership. The site charges a fee since it has expenses ... as do all websites, people have to spend their time to run and maintain the site, buy bandwith, servers, and other things. I am a life member here, it cost me 56$....about the price of 1 cup of coffee a week for a year. I think that is a very small charge for such a big reward. In my opinion this site is the best ostomy-related web site on the net. I hope you will stick around awhile and see for yourself. I do not own or am I in any manner connected to this site except as a member. regards. mmsh
Interesting day. I wonder how things went on the "1st Annual Day on the Hill" as they called it. I haven't heard anything in the news. Maybe there's more information on social media.
