You are a survivor! That sounds like such a tough road! I'm happy to hear you are looking at the good parts of your life. I am in awe of the resilience you seem to have. Hope you are feeling better now!
I'm really sorry to hear about what you are going through. I find it amazing that you can document your struggles so well and provide insight for people who need help in such a good way. I am not going through the same thing but on february 9th of this year I was in a bad car crash that nearly killed me. I suffered a shattered hip, 2 broken ribs, a broken clavicle, a collapsed lung, liver laceration, and I had to have my spleen removed. I broke down emotionally so many times in the hospital.
Thank you! I have just had mine for 5 weeks. I had rectal cancer, that is why I have a colostomy. I'm going to target this weekend and very excited about the tip. Thanks again and God Bless
My sister was diagnosed with the same type of cancer 7 months ago. Its a battle both phydically and emotionally, but its all about the mindset, so hang in there you Will get through it.
Ran out of space in the last comment. I understand that it can be really hard to cope when life throws a curveball at you. I had an ivc filter put in to help stop blood clotting due to me having a massive pulmonary embolism during my hospital stay. It was incredibly depressing because i couldn't even find the strength to sit up in my hospital bed. Just try to think about the good parts of your life to help you find the strength to endure life. Thank you for your inspirational story :)
Hi! I use a 2 piece hollister apparatus, the skin tone one. I wear a one piece swim suit that has cut outs on the side so it's still a little sexy ;) If you have any questions or just want to talk you can facebook me (link above) :)
Um hi. Ive had my bag since i was 3. And now i am 15 about to be 16. And dont really know anyone with an bag (maybe because i dont talk about it haha) . I think it is so cool that you post these videos. I wish i had your confidence. I was wondering what kind of bag do u have. My bag contains bile, idk if that is different from yours. Ik a lot of the people that have bags i guess have theirs with "other stuff". And how would you wear a swimsuit.
Hi Mary, I wish I had an answer for you. Generally I just run my hand down the outside of my clothes to push the stool down towards the bottom of the bag. I have that problem sometimes too. Hope that helps and hope you're well!
Just curious, I wear that type of panty girdle all the time to keep my parastomal hernia in check. I seem to have issues w/ output getting stuck around the ring of the flange and not going down into the bag. I resort to pulling it out (panty) and pushing the output down. Kinda a pain. And I hear you on the filter not making it long. I have a colostomy a bit over a year old now. And you have very good videos. Thank you from an old lady (not THAT old, but enough)
Hi! Thanks so much for your videos. Forgive me if you have been asked this already... is the ostomy painful and does the bag collect gas also? and in your case how long after your diagnosis did you have the op. Thanks again :)
connecticutmobile I know it has been a LONG time since you posted on this and maybe you know this already but I have found a great website that if you haven't found it already may help you with your questions. It is www.inspire.com. Check it out if you haven't already. Hope all is well.
John Raymond Really? Why are you even watching the video if it sickens you so much. I hope you are just trying to push people's buttons because if not you are the sick one.
