I go to the beach and let my colostomy bag show. And right next to that is a massive Scar from 7 abdominal operations. If you live in Washington or Seattle you may have heard of the Solstice parade in a Fremont neighborhood. Here is a bike ride hey everybody rides naked. Body paint is the theme Here the crazier the better. This year I've decided to ride in the parade. I have a medical scrubs theme with the hat and the mask if I feel I don't want to be recognized. But my pouch and my scar will show open painted shirt. This is going to be a challenge for me but I'm going for it wish me luck
