Hello folks, many years since I posted. I've had my urostomy for over 16 years now, but I'm still alive and kicking. My long-time life partner passed away 18 months ago (heart problems). I still have very little contact with my first wife and kids. But two lovely stepdaughters check on me and make sure all is okay. Yeah, sorry to those who remember me; I swapped my car again. Went bigger and older this time, an '07 Chrysler 300C with a 3-liter V6 diesel engine and autobox. Next month I will be 78. Tempus fugit! I think the girls have plans. Love to all. I may well subscribe as a paid-up member again. Still living in the Cotswolds, UK. Pete.
