Greetings

I've had an ostomy for 10 months now and the surgery gave me my life back. Yesterday was my birthday and I'm loving it. I enjoy reading..just finished an intriguing book by David Blankenhorn entitled "The Future of Marriage". It was truly thought provoking. I'll use it in my Contemporary Social Problems class that I teach at Rutgers University. Read any good books lately?

Hello,
First, happy birthday or maybe happy re-birthday. The book you mentioned sounds interesting; I might try it. My latest was "The Intention Experiment," more of a personal insight type of reading.
What part of Alabama? I've had my ileostomy for 36 years.
Love to chat, let me know... Take care.
