RE: Love isn’t always shit free. The complications of dating with an ostomy!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I know that one well. I was well and then within a year 35 kg lighter and had a perforated bowel. I'm so glad they found a solution that worked for your hubby.
I know that the surgery option is not something we want but do tell you hubby that if it ever gets to that point. The products are amazing. The accessories people have made to help ostomates is amazing and a life is a life. I'm sure if push come to shove he would realise that living with you with a bag is better than dead and you having to live without him xx
oh yeah, I think we both know that there will likely be some point where he'll need to go the surgery route. He's been very lucky in that he's managed to "manage" (for lack of a better word) it down to a nice remission for about 3 years now - but it took a long time to get to a place where he felt even close to normal (and still struggles sometimes).
But yeah, even in the last 5 years the technology has really grown by leaps and bounds! It's all only going to get better and easier and new studies keep popping up :D
