Ileostomy anniversary

[UnXmas]

My one year anniversary of having an ileostomy must be coming up soon. I know I went into hospital in October last year, stayed a week and a half which included Hallowe'en, and came out in November.

During that time, I've had three different stomas! I really hadn't been expecting that. But I would do all three surgeries over again rather than do none and not have a stoma.

I know a lot of people really struggle with having a stoma, want to avoid it altogether or wish they could be rid of it. I know we are often all different in how we feel about things like this. I just wish I could share the comfort I feel about having a stoma with all the rest of you. :ghug:

I can't relate the happiness of a stoma as for me it was mere misery but im happy you are happy and doing well.

Thank you, nogutsnoglory. I hope you'll find a happier solution for yourself one day too.

My 5 year stomaversary is coming up in December...and like you, I wouldn't change it for the world! Happy anniversary!
