Here is the beginning of a list that I hope you will add to. I travel regularly, manage it with a minimum of stress and humor gets my through it. Mind you, my humor remains an inner monologue while going through security. Don't share it with the TSA!
Advantages of going through airport security with an Ostomy:
- Sleep is overrated. Experience a longer day since you must arrive to the airport an hour early, just in case.
- Get to buy a new pair of Ostomy scissors. It was time for a new pair anyway.
- Full body massage
- Get to explain your health history to an interested and sympathetic stranger
- See rooms in the airport that few people get to see.
- Have a newly discovered foot fungus named for you after having stood in the international terminal without shoes for an hour.
- Opportunity to practice standing calisthenics for an hour.
