This guy makes me so happy! He and I have had a strong bond from the very beginning. I have learned to trust and accept him for all that he is, including his "bag." I actually respect him more because of it. He is so strong in moments that I am sure I'd be weak. He doesn't medicate, so I am certain he takes pain very well. His motivation to get things done and move through life as if he has no issues or worries is the most amazing thing to witness. I thank God over and over for this man. I'm sure he has taught me so many valuable things, and I can't wait to spend the rest of our living days together, and I pray we meet in the afterlife and continue our journey. I have no issues with our sex life. He is actually a very romantic guy. I just love how he loves me and cares so much for my feelings. He also has love for my children as if they are his own. I pray that one day we have a few of our own as well; he currently has none, and I've been researching to find out if he can, considering his bag. Just allowing God to work on that for us... All is well, loving my ostomy mate.
Lotus12... Before your guy became an ostomate, he was the same man; nothing changed. If only others would see beyond the outer layers. Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes,

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
