Ode To Our Ostomy Nurses

Posted by MeetAnOstoMate

Here's to the nurses, oh angels with skills,
Who handle our ostomies, issues, and spills!
With wafers and powders, their gentle hands glide,
In stoma adventures, they're right by our side.

From blockages scary and outputs unclear,
They answer our questions and calm every fear.
No matter the problem, big, small, or strange,
They've tips and solutions to help us arrange.

With wafers they teach us precisely to trim,
No creams or perfumes - just keep the skin prim.
They caution us wisely on fibers and food,
"Chew more than once!" is their humorous mood.

Oh, nurses of ostomy, masters of tape,
You help us with leaks and escapes from the gape.
When pancaking happens (but sadly no syrup),
You handle it swiftly, our confidence builds up.

Your guidance on travels from cold to tropics,
Ensures we feel confident, bold, and exotic!
From Curaçao caves to cruise ship adventures,
You cheer us along with supportive gestures.

For moments of doubt, depression, or strife,
Your caring and warmth bring us back into life.
You've taught us to love every quirky new norm,
Our stoma companions now weather life's storm.

So here's to our nurses - compassionate, smart,
Thank you for healing with humor and heart.
We celebrate you, our ostomy sages,
Your kindness remembered for ages and ages!
