GRATITUDE.

The worst of times has got to be
when first you find your ostomy.
You can no longer hide away

It shakes you to the very core
and makes you feel that you deplore

Does it bother you when you are giving oral sex and the partially full colostomy bag is banging against

your face?

Hi Everyone, This has been an exciting week for me. On July 7th my book launched titled Stanley and Me make three. We know this journey very well and I promised myself, once my health started to improve, I would write a book to help others walking...

Hi All-



Well, it's been a week and 2 days since my reversal surgery.



I came home from the hospital on Monday, Feb. 6....2 days earlier than I was originally slated to leave! Other than some minor glitches (more about thes...
