First Time's The Charm...

So this is my first blog post (on here, anyhow)... I'm not quite sure where to start.

I've got an ileostomy and have had it for just over 4 years. I have a condition called neurofibromatosis which caused nerve issues that led to other issues and eventually a toxic megacolon with perforations. But I'm better now—the picture of health, sort of.

I've been spending the last few years eating as much as possible (not that it does a lot of good... can't seem to gain weight for love or money).

I was in a relationship recently, but it ended badly (partially my own fault. In retrospect, I was pretty terrible at relationship "stuff").

This is probably not quite right for a blog. I'll write a better one tomorrow.
