Fellow members, I would like to get your thoughts and advice on how you accepted your ostomy. I have had my urostomy for 5 years and I can't get past it. I have lost a lot because of it, and I'm sure I am not the only one that has been through hell. I have talked to a few people and have been offered meds, but I don't want to take more meds. Their advice was just to say you're lucky to be alive, but I don't feel that way. So I guess what I'm asking is how you all deal with it. Thank you.
