I did have a colostomy for 4 years and I did have a reversal 2 years ago. But I am now going to get my colostomy back for life on Jan. 3rd. I am so scared. I'm not handling having to get the colostomy for live very well. I did not like it the 1st time I had it, I called it "the thing that I hate". I feel like I am so alone..my faimly does not understand how I am feeling. I am a single 42 year old woman, I am so scared that I am going to be alone for life do to having a colostomy. Is there anyone out there that feels the same way and how did they deal with it? Help please!
