If you have some pooh
Coming out of you
From a place not normally expected
Don’t feel dejected
Rejected
By society
Cos you and me
And thousands like us
Can thrive
Survive
Feel so very good
To be alive
If your stoma brings you down
Makes you frown
As though you’re no longer whole
Then tell your soul
To rock n roll
A bag does not define us
Nor confine us
To a life no longer fun
Live life
In the sun
"Eddie" was born 4th February 2021 and has provided much laughter and interest to date. I refused from the outset to let him and his idiosyncracies get me down, although I admit that at times, this has been difficult (particularly when starting a new relationship!!)
For those of you with Stoma's or similar, I would urge you to simply, be strong, and find something to make you smile.
Great attitude and made me smile too!

OMG! I just read your profile and think you're amazing. You've been through so much and come out the other side. I wish you all the best for the future. Keep strong, keep positive, keep healthy.

Brilliant you’ve. got a great mindset and you made me smile. A sense of humour is vital when faced with dealing with a stoma. Like your name choice to. Mine was called Whoopi, Whoopsadaisy or Whoopee Cushion depending on what she was up to. I had her reverse on Friday now she’s opening a can of Whoop-ass.
Im keeping my Avatar and hopefully when healed having a tattoo of daisies to mark her spot You have a good day.
And yes Sarah’s bio is pretty staggering. Plus flies off to Maldives no less with Two stoma’s. Sarah rocks.

I’ve designed you a little avatar for your Eddie. But it won’t go up. I’ve tried multiple times not sure what’s going on or worse there might be ten of them appears somewhere. Ha ha. He’s sped off the page
Got him. I had to go in my photos copy him quick and paste. He’s fast. Never had that before x
