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.
Artsie When I came out of hospital I had a nothing to areas a size 14 down to a size 8 First thing Primark .A top that I might frame ...Behind Every Strong Contour Is An Even Stronger Woman ...I have it on a hanger over the door so that I see it .I wish we all had one.
That's so easy for me, a snack for supper time! Once I'd started to get better but still not well enough to be discharged, I found that having my evening meal at 5pm, then nothing until 8am, was just too long! Plus, of course, no visitors to bring stuff in! I'd have killed for a biscuit!

Hi Kath
i realised today that I didn’t make your little chap Chowder. There’s a cartoon character too of that name and after a little research I thought the colours would suit. Sadly I can not download it. It’s only allowing certain actions today so I will try again later. It’s happened to me in the past. It’s probably user error. Hope you’re having a good day

hi Artsie - that's so kind and thoughtful of you. In terms of colour- I love all things purple/lilac- my favourite colours so your emoji is spot on. Just dropped our daughter off home and feel like an arm has been wrenched off. My emotions are so fragile and all over the place. Don't know where my resiliance has gone - .

"don't think about tomorrow"
Oh Kath. I hope you’re not coming down with some type of virus. There’s a nasty one about and it’s not covid. Or you may have the November blues. I get them every year.
Your image wouldn’t load properly it’s very pixelated I’ll try again tomorrow.
be kind to yourself. I hope you feel stronger soon.
take care
Ann
