MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.
I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Hello Rob

I'm relatively new to this site and have just read your post.

I too live in the UK, have had my colostomy 10 years and have been irrigating every day for 9 years. I've recently had to give up irrigating because I've been recently registered as blind and am finding it very difficult to do now. However, I've tons of experience in irrigating mine in just about every situation. I'd like to help if I can.

If you think a chat would help and I'm not on-line, please feel free to reach me on **email removed**

Just one thing before I go, I take it that you've discussed the changes in your irrigation with your stoma care clinic.

Best wishes

Richard
