Hi I'm Mike and have had my colostomy for 6 months now. I have a habit of making the best out of a bad situation with a little humor. I thought I would share some things I have figured out and that have happened to me since I became an ostomate.
I'll explain my forum name 1st. I ride an old Harley Tour Glide which is known as a full dresser or in biker slang a bagger. My vanity plates for it is BAGR. Now I am one. All I need to do is paint it brown....not
I wear a 2 piece drainable pouch. I think now I know where the terms taking a dump and pinching a loaf came from.
I have learned it's not about getting poop on you, it's about how much poop you get on you.
I was joking around at work and the Tool Pusher said you are an @sshole. I told him technically he couldn't call me that since I don't have one anymore. I also told him I would have to look at the rule book to see if I could hang out with an @sshole like him.
I was talking with the Company Rep., whose mother in law is an ostomate. I might have been pulling his leg a little or leading him on. Out of the blue he looked at me and said you need to go dump your bag because you are full of sh!t. I almost fell over I was laughing so hard.
So has anyone else found humor in their life as an ostomate? I think that laughter has some healing properties.
Sorry for the long post Mike
