Hi Russ
Just to say, you’re far from bonkers to be excited about getting a colostomy bag.
I imagine that actually a lot of people are because it solves some painful or life-restiricting problems.

A close relative had a bladder condition that I didn’t realise at the time was actually cancer. He kept having these warts in his bladder removed in hospital under anaesthetic and it left his bladder scarred and made his life very unpleasant with pain and difficulties going to the toilet. He had his bladder removed and a Urostomy bag fitted and it gave him a new lease of life, I can tell you. He was a significantly happier man after that.

I suspect it’s the same for a lot of people who have ostomies – life is better with than without.
I know it’s yet another thing to take on, but I was so glad to read you’re welcoming this solution.

Big hugs

PS 5 years in Social Cervixes and I’m totally blase about all matters poo-related. Done the District Nurse job myself a few times.

Now I think about it, I could probably have a lucrative specialist career in Soho.
