This topic is about living a fulfilling life with both a urostomy and a colostomy, which are types of surgeries that create openings in the body to help with waste removal. The person sharing their story has had these since they were just three years old and is now approaching their 50th birthday. Here are some key points from their experience:

- They have lived without any blockages, stool issues, or other complications throughout their life.
- The successful outcome of their surgeries is attributed to a skilled surgeon, referred to as "Mr Bentley."
- In their early school years, they managed without modern ostomy appliances, using cotton wool instead.
- They were surprised to learn from a forum how many people face challenges with their ostomies and are open to offering advice to those who need it.

The person also shares a personal motto that reflects their positive outlook on life: "Yesterday is history, today is a gift, tomorrow is a mystery… so forget mundane."

While forum members responded with encouragement and admiration, no specific advice or product recommendations were provided in the discussion.
