Yes, yes, #Amazon is a bad company, but as someone who doesn't have health insurance in a town where getting medical supplies is a crap shoot, they're the only place I can reliably order #ileostomy supplies and Mom's extra BiPap masks.

Oof, gotta love jumping out of bed at 6:30am because you realize that your ileostomy wafer has wandered off and you're about to make a huge mess in the bed.

One shower and bag/wafer change later, I'm exhausted.

New #healtheconomics paper on the costs of of a diverting #ileostomy or #colostomy (ostomies, "stoma"):

In #rectalcancer IBD and other conditions, ostomies can help with anastomotic leakage and mucosal healing.

However, some patients end up with a permanent stoma.

What if permanent stomas could in some cases be avoided?

There are endoluminal devices being developed that might reduce the number of patients who needs stoma (full disclosure: our study sponsor SafeHeal is developing one)

Logging into #MyChart to try to refill something and there's this message....

"Colorectal Cancer Screening is overdue."

Um. Y'all. I have no colorectal to be screened. I've had an #ileostomy since 1998. I am *fairly* certain y'all should know this.

All stomas have their own little personality.

It's always chaotic evil.

Is there anyone else here with a colostomy or ileostomy? Or likely to have one? I've had both. Take it from me, they're both hassle, but the colostomy is a lot less so.

Changed all the bed linens yesterday, so (of course) I had a complete #ostomyfail this morning and am doing laundry again. But, hey, I didn't die from toxic megacolon twenty-seven years ago, so I'm still winning at life.

“This is my life now,” she thought while pouring water into her ileostomy bag in order to thin out the output and pour it into the toilet more easily.

PSA for stoma-havers

If you're experiencing pancaking in your ostomy bag, try putting a little baby oil in the bag. It works wonders.

Woah. Japan now has a far more open minded attitude to disability than I expected. Waist-level toilet almost made me cry. ❤️ #Ostomy #ileostomy #disability

Happy to do an #introduction on here! I live in Ottawa and love hiking until there is snow and then I’m in my element cross-country skiing. I’ve been described as an #autoimmune disaster - #Crohn’s disease leading to a #stroke in 2013 and requiring a permanent #ileostomy in April this year; #AIH overlapped with #PSC. I work for an amazing #nonprofit called Farm Radio International. I’m an avid #reader and love to curate reading lists for friends. I’m also an aspiring #creativenonfiction #writer.
