it has occured to me that i will not be able to buy my supplies for much longer. i would think the solution to that would be a reversal, but i wonder what the physical requirements for that are. i mean, i have a roughly two inch stump left of my colon. might that be enough room? the ostomy is also making it a bit difficult to find a decent paying job in my area so i could have insurance outside of my fathers. throwing around the idea of this reversal, also, because i think it has made my depression worse, and my meds have to be frequently changed or upped. thoughts? also, sorry for the crummy grammar. this site and phones do not mix well.
