Thanks, John. It does make some cute little noises, especially first thing in the morning.

Mine was Sept., '86, so 32 years. I was 23, had been married one year. I'm going to look up the date and start celebrating it every year!

32 years! That's amazing! Congrats.

Pumbaa's stomaversary is November 11, 2016. I named my stoma Pumbaa after the warthog in Disney's The Lion King, because he's famous for farting. :-D

Hi again,

Have you had this happen before? I just wondered if a doctor had discussed this with you. I had UC so I don't know all that much about Crohn's ( except they couldn't figure out what I had for quite awhile). So sorry about the pain.

Thats hard. Good to keep hydrated too. Its a real challenge to drink enough fluids even when you are feeling well.

And yes! Thanks to e books, I always had something to read when i couldn't leave the house. I love my kindle.

Thank you for the kind words Dona, much appreciated! I am feeling a little better pain wise (partial obstruction), but still experiencing horribly painful moments of my stoma contracting and expanding and pelvic cramping. Sadly, as anyone with Crohn's Disease knows, pain is something we learn to live with. I'm very tired, weak and hungry, so I'm just riding it out and listening to my body by staying in bed resting and keeping hydrated, with a ton of e-books to read :)

Hi Song,

Hope you feel better soon and Henry behaves himself! SO sorry you are feeling bad today.

August 8th was my 2 year stomaversary. Even though I'm female, I named mine Henry LOL! It was just a random name I pulled from thin air. Henry is way more behaved now, but sadly today, he is being tempermental and has me bedridden in pain, starving with a heating pad and homemade chicken broth.
