In a previous thread we started a discussion on our Stoma’s outputs and the unpredictability of dealing with it.
This led to us sharing the names that we call them.
I thought I would be a little bit of fun to have a separate thread here.
Mines called Whoopi.
I was still unsure of it until I ate beans.
She then became a whoopee cushion.
Please share yours.
I called mine Piglet because it was small pink and often seen with Pooh . Came from reading Winnie to my grand daughter!
Cheers, John
That’s brilliant. Really funny. Thanks for sharing. Xxx

That's great! Mines Brooke because she gurlges, like a brook!

Mine was Lily Ileostomy! She was very vocal particularly when I lay down in bed. One night my husband gave me a kiss and said ‘goodnight’ and Lily gurgled very loudly to which he resignedly replied ‘And good night to you too Lily’!
