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.

Thank you for making us laugh. As for beans Whoops loves them but I couldn’t mix them with fish. At the moment I have to really want fish to face the output. Still that’s where our training comes in useful. Wear a mask, keep your distance and wash your hands singing happy birthday!

That's so funny! My little treasure, Brooke, must be trying to talk to Dennis this morning!

Great name and so apt.
Whoopi has me up only once now in the night if she’s good but the bag feels like a balloon. Two hands and quick march.
It’s such a relief now to see the funny side of our Stoma’s. I never thought I would.
Thanks for sharing.
You and Dennis have a good day
