The Silver Lining

I'm alive

Whenever I start to get down on myself about having a chronic disease and an ostomy I try to remind myself that I am alive.

Also...


  • No more flare-up pain. (So far.)
  • I don't have to blame a fart smell on the dogs...or the baby!
  • Community. I have met many great people who are dealing with the same struggles.
  • Knowledge. I know my body better now than I ever had. I know that I can and will push my limitations. I know how to care for a wound. I know what your insides look like! 
The best thing about this ostomy is...

that I still get to kiss this face, and hear his laugh, and be his mommy. 
That's what it's all about, right?
