Hi.
I don't know where I am going with this, but reading some of the blogs, I feel like saying something. I am new at this, and so you will please bear with me.
I have had a colostomy for about fifteen years. I have gone through all the emotions that go with the transition of the body beautiful. It is hard, but it is a learning process and a time to be thankful for surviving a traumatic experience. Mine was cancer, and do I need to say more?
Life before was beautiful, and life after the incident is beautiful. So, I would say that your emotions are a reflection of your inner soul, and that is what you want to show the world. If you clean up that part of your life, it will be a beacon for those that you meet in the future, and if there is a ship coming to your port, make sure your beacon is shining its brightest. Thinking positive is the greatest gift you have for the world and also for that someone special.
You might say it might be easy for me to say because I probably didn't have the things happen to me. Well, let me tell you—divorce, loss of a normal income, the trauma that a bag can bring on such as smells, leaks, weird sounds, and all the rest.
I can only say, the operation is just a bump in the road of life, there is worse baggage that can be attached to you, so if that is the worst in your mind, consider the options.
Well, maybe I said enough.
Have a good day and make life richer by putting up your chin and saying "I can do it!"
