THANK YOU STOMA

THANK YOU STOMA.



There’s lots to thank my stoma for


if I ignore things I abhor.


Believe me, it improved my life


relieving me from former strife.



It diminished consternation


right alongside constipation.


It cut out all my rotten gut


and rectified my prolapsed butt.



It freed me from incontinence


that had come to prominence.


It took away my chronic pain


so I could live my life again.



I know my stoma made me glad


for stopping hassle that I had.


As I reflect I can recall


I’d not expect a life at all.



My stoma gave life quality


and with it a little jollity.


It is not easy to explain


the intricacies of my gain.



I have the type of ostomy


that they call colostomy.


This means I can mitigate


some hassles and can irrigate.



Well, this gets rid of all my waste


without the smell people distaste.


When all the poo’s gone in one go


then it’s all done and folks don’t know.



Now as I sit upon the loo


not only does my stoma poo


but I can use the time to do


a few more lines of rhymes for you.

Diceman. If you want to read more verses on this subject then you will find plenty by going into my profile (just click on 'bill'- in blue at the top of this blog) and then look under the heading 'all blogs'. I hope you enjoy the read.Best wishes Bill

Well done, Bill.

Great, but for me the best thing is bringing the family together, the kindness of friends, and the amazing nurses.

Thank you blueonthetyne and taoh for your comments. I'm glad for you taoh that it has brought you these positive things. If I had such great experiences I would surely have put them to verse.However, there are so many people on this site who are supportive and friendly that any of those less than positive people we meet in daily life can be counterbalanced by those who show support. I will blog another verse 'defining friends'that tries to capture this sentiment. Best wishes Bill
