Sometimes I look at my bag (or pouch if you like), and can't believe this is for life. On the various message boards, some people with temporary ostomies talk about how they can't wait for reversal, or how glad they are that they can go back (to normal?) with a J pouch.
When I read that, I always think, gee I really have no choice. All parts were remvoved. This is it for me.
As Nyx always said, it is getting better. I am appreciating the freedom and control my ostomy is giving me. No more running to the bathroom at work trying and praying to hold it in while clenching as hard as I could.
But, this bag will always be hanging from my body when I look in the mirror after a shower.
Well, thats it - I just felt like whinning a bit.
