Personally, I have a brother-in-law who is in his late 80's that wears a colostomy bag (?spelling) and otherwise gets along fairly well.

Welcome to @osgood1420. You or your brother-in-law may be interested in the discussion on Connect about ostomy here:
- Ostomy: Adapting to life after colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ostomy-adapting-to-life-after-colostomy-ileostomy-or-urostomy/

Does your brother-in-law have a urostomy for redirecting urine as a result of prostate cancer. Or does he have a colostomy for bowel or stool diversion as a result of another condition or surgery?
