everythingwedocounts...welcome to the best place in ostomy land!  Don't mind my asking but I think you can take it.  That had to be some accident, what did you do jump out of a plane without a parachute.  I am glad you survived and do not be shy about questions and asking for ideas and certainly feel free to add your tips and tricks that you can share to help others here.

Hello, Everythingwedocounts,

It is nice to meet you, and to know a little of your story. I have learned much and taken heart from this VeganOstomy site and the lovely people who populate the forums; you will, also, I am sure.

I love the smell of coffee in the morning. It smells like .... victory.

@everythingwedocounts Welcome. Each of us who becomes an ostomate has a unique story to tell. If you would be willing, please feel free to share yours in the Introductions forum. Here's mine, if you're interested. Again, welcome to our oasis.

Hi everythingwedocounts and welcome. You've come to the right place. All the ostomates here are so supportive, and Eric is a gem! I checked out your intro story and cannot get over all you've been through. Your determination not to let these hurdles keep you down is amazing!

God bless,

Stella
