Hello jimdiehl,
Thank you for your writing about six days ago: You appear to be well adjusted to your conditions. My colon cancer experience was in 1999, were not that far off in experiences. I appreciated your sharing and throughout it all, you just kept going. What a brave approach to a life changing challenge. And, by sharing this story you have encouraged others besides myself to just keep adapting to the constant changes. I also participated in ostomy groups and found much support throughout those early times.
But being a flight attendent is courageous: I no longer fly anywhere; the overall process seems so complicated and crowded all the time. I, we, my gal and I, explore our states on three wheeled trikes, mostly in Florida and my status as an ostomate has never been an issue. Just keep going my friend, and keep sharing whenever you can. Helping others through encouraging responses is such a wonderfull thing about our connect site. Best to you and yours.
Jofree
