Sharing a picture and inspiration to share with ostomates

For the exact reasons you are concerned about I have decided to not have reversal surgery done. It's been a year for me now and I think I'd much rather have my ostomy than pain and uncontrollable diarrhea. I have talked to a few people who now wear diapers because they don't have the muscle control to control their bowel movements.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I had poor muscle control before the surgery and as much as I dislike having the stoma and bag, it is such a relief to not have to worry about accidents and stomach cramping.
