4 hours and 40 minutes away!
The realization that I've finally come to a point where I've changed my last bag (and from the clear liquid diet for the last four days, it appears I have even emptied my last bag) is a good feeling.
The peristomal and the umbilical hernias have kept me from doing much that would contribute to weight loss, so naturally I've gained about twenty pounds in these seven months of being an ostomate. I look forward to again being able to hit the gym and work towards a healthier body.
I lack the words to properly express my gratitude to the MaO community for your support. From all the way back when I was still trying to figure out how to correctly change my bag, you have been here for me. For all the questions and concerns that I've had along the way, you have offered sage guidance and sincere support. No price can be put on the value of what you do so unselfishly for others in this forum. I intend to remain a part of this community and do what I can to support and guide others on this life changing journey.
Thank you, Ostomates, one and all.
