Well, my stomaversary was yesterday and I didn't even think about it! Lol The past three years seem like a lifetime. I am forgetting what it was like before surgery, before wearing a pouch. Never thought I would forget that!
Guess I have accepted all of this and think no more about pooping now than I did before. That is probably a good thing!
Hope the following years are as carefree, they all haven't been. I prefer to look on the bright side! There are always bad days or weeks but I feel lucky to have few of those. Not letting this rule me!

Thanks to those that helped along the way!

Hello Puppyluv,

I feel you on the days being good and bad, ugh! And yes, it seems like you have the right idea. Not letting these rules use us!!

Agree, but it's hard at times. But learning and marching forward, woohoo! Want to enjoy it all tomorrow, not promised.

Thank you for sharing, and it's encouraging.
