Thanks for posting that John. It was really good. I am not ready to run in the Himalayas ( HA), but am happy for those who can. ( I don't have flash player so didn't watch the video.. but the reading was good.)

They do seem to conflate illiostomy and colostomy bag .. but we are I think all in the same soup.
