Ok Bag Master . May sound pretty dumb but I was afraid I would not be able to eat or drink a lot of things I like . And I think I'm probably (most proud ) or happy that I can actually go into public places and use the bathrooms more comfortably now because some people are so disgusting when it come to public bathrooms . ( John I think you call that a Loo Lol  I like the different terms we use ) . I ordered the stickers to put on your shirt .

Happy Ostomy Day Everybody

Ok Bag Master . May sound pretty dumb but I was afraid I would not be able to eat or drink a lot of things I like .

That's a really common concern - I had the exact same questions about diet when I learned of my upcoming surgery. Thankfully, it's more of a concern than an actual problem. 

Yes it was a concern at first but now I eat and drink about anything I want

I was afraid I might not be able to return to my job, that I might need to go on disability. I know I am not limited by the bag but that my illness can limit me.

I am proud of being able to jump right in and manage my Ostomy care and maintain a good attitude about it. Thanks to Vegan Ostomy and others for making it possible.

Happy World Ostomy Day to all and Thanksgiving as well.

The one thing I thought I would never be able to do was run, while in hospital and the out put being liquid I used to think if I ran with this it would explode! Silly me.

What I was most proud of was climbing into the cab of a tracked digger again. can any one spot the country boy.

Robert loo is only the tip of the iceberg, my wifes family live 30miles up the road and I may as well be in Russia. so many accents for a wee country

 This forum is great Thanks Eric . I enjoy reading all the stories and views . And John I really enjoy hearing the different terms from different places other than where I am  . I'm gonna use Loo on my wife and she'll look at me like WTH ! Lol .
