It's my 1st Stomaversary!  I'm certainly not being insensitive to anyone who has problems with their stomas, but it's been a good ride for me so for.  I have not had a single leak in this first year.  I did christen my bed once with an explosion, but that was my fault for being lazy. I marvel at the journey from when my wife and I were, very timidly, dealing with my first few bag changes when we returned from the hospital to the confidence I now have in doing that job.  Still lots to learn, but here's to one year.  You guys are all great, and I thank you for sharing this year with me.     Ulcerative Colitis (1995) Many Happy Returns Glenn.
