Hello all,
I'm kinda new to this forum. I have a colostomy due to former cancer.
Like all of us, I've been through a lot. But I am so tired of not just living again.
I'll admit, what makes me more active here is the idea of meeting someone. But that's not a priority in my life.
I have lots to learn and have lots I can share. Nice to "meet" you all.
Welcome to the site, it's a great place to network with people that have been through similar ordeals. Just reading some of the posts on here makes me realize how very lucky I am. Life is good! mmsh

Thank you. Yes, same here. I had a "temporary" ileostomy waiting for a reversal. But that didn't work out. I've had the colostomy since March this year. It is easier than the ileo, I must say.
Hello Ophelia and welcome to MAO. I hope you do meet someone, either on here or elsewhere. I do like your attitude to your circumstances and I'm sure others will appreciate that too.
Best wishes
Bill
Hello Ophelia,
Welcome. It's nice to meet you. I hope you find what you're searching for. It's always great to learn new things. One is never too old or young to learn. Looking forward to reading what you can share with us. There are many threads of information here. I agree with MMSH, some have more difficult times than others, so I don't take the good things lightly. I try to greet every day with a smile and help if I can.
Welcome, Ophelia! We are all in this together! Glad you found this site. Glad to share any experiences.
