🔮Four of Cups🔮

My full illustration for @novaandmali's Star Crossed: A Queer Tarot. Here's my personal insight into how I approached the imagery into this card:

Four of cups tradtionally reflects a sense of dissatisfaction, missed opportunities & isolation. The lesbian I depicted in my version of the card has an ostomy bag, the possibility of which in my future as someone with Crohns' disease is a personal anxiety of mine. She is so preoccupied with the negative she can't see the gift of the healing opportunities it's granted her, as shown by the angel with the fourth cup.

Being chronically ill feels like you popped out of the womb as a well loved stuffed animal and every week you have to sew yourself up with double thread and hope and pray

Okay so yknow how sometimes when you talk you fuse the words stomach and tummy together and you end up saying stummy?

And some people use an ostomy bag?

That is their stummy, thank you goodnight

SO I finally got my wrap shirts from @mayakern. They look and feel really nice and I do like them but there IS a tiiiny thing that bothers me that I wish I had been aware about before hand. Well two things.

The bottom does not stretch a lot(or half of it doesn't, there is stitching around the back edge but not the front). It's not elastic so if you have a wider bust than waist you will notice this when trying to put it on/take it off, b/c well, it doesn't stretch. and Im worried im gonna snap the, seams some day pulling it on/off cause half of it has no give.

It is a LOT shorter than I expected. Given that it had a waist measurement I expected it to sit a lot lower than it actually does. If I don't pull it down it wants to naturally sit right above my belly button(as opposed to at or below it, you know, where my waist is), and if I don't keep adjusting it (esp in the back) it will ride up back to that position. Which is not something I am used to. I wasn't expecting them to be nearly belly tops.

Hopefully plenty of wear/wash will, help with these issues, cause they are nice shirts.

BOOKS: Freya (Sh!t Bag by Xena Knox) - Ostomy Bag

SH!T BAG is a dark humour, disability-positive YA about a feisty, sporty, sixteen-year-old girl called Freya who wakes up in hospital with a poo bag (aka an ileostomy) and has to learn to live with it and her new nickname Sh!t Bag.

When her dreams of the perfect summer partying in the Algarve go down the toilet, she's packed off to 'Poo Camp' - a place for kids with bowel disease to 'bond'.

One thing I really like so far about the beta is that there are medical devices in the clothing shop. You can buy cochlear implants, ostomy bags, prosthetic arms, prostethic legs, and glucose monitors

The light convex ostomy bag can be defined as a specialized medical device that is used for individuals who have undergone ostomy surgery, like colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy.

Ostomy surgeries are performed when part of the digestive or urinary tract is diverted due to illness, injury, or disease, creating a stoma (opening) through which waste is collected. The following explores the significant benefits of choosing Light Convex Ostomy Bag Opaque.

Reasons To Use a Catheter Bag in Sunrise and Winter Garden, FL

Patients undergo stoma regularly in big medical facilities. This refers to an invasive procedure done to divert the contents of the digestive system and/or the urinary bladder via a small stoma or perforation that opens to the exterior. The primary reason for such a procedure varies with the type of health condition. Whatever the reason for creating a stoma or opening in the abdomen, it is necessary to source a few supplies to ensure that the area is kept clean and that the expelled materials are removed from the body as required. Checking the varied types of ostomy bags in Kissimmee and Port St. Lucie, FL, is advisable for the patient’s family, who are sure to be concerned about the wellbeing of their loved one. ​ It suffices to know that the ostomy bag is a pouch-like container attached to the surgery site and collects the expelled materials, such as urine and feces, to be disposed of from time to time. It is essential for the user or the care provider to be educated about how the bag works. It suffices to know that the bags come with a doughnut hole opening that is encircled by an adhesive tape to adhere to the skin around the stoma (surgical opening). The bottom of the bag is usually closed or may have a temporary opening that is used to remove the contents of the bag as and when needed. ​ The entire system is self-sufficient, with the user not having to do anything when the bag is positioned perfectly. Waste products are collected in the bag naturally and must be eliminated when the bag is full or reaches the limit of collection and storage. Buying the right bag that is odor-resistant and leak-proof is essential.

Multiple types of ostomy bags are available for a patient with a stoma. Some of the most popular products include the following: -

· One-piece- This is the most uncomplicated design for an ostomy bag. It consists of a pouch and a skin barrier adhesive that are integrated into a single unit. The barrier comes off from the skin when the pouch is removed to eliminate the contents.

· Two-Piece- This is a bag and a skin barrier adhesive that is not connected. The pouch/bag may be removed, emptied, and cleaned without removing the skin barrier every time.

It is interesting to know that certain colostomy or ileostomy bags include a small opening at the bottom for easy emptying of contents. Moreover, the urostomy bags may be fitted with valves to ensure proper urine drainage.

Many of the patients who undergo urostomy have to pass urine at night, making the bag full within a short time. Choosing the night drainage system can be beneficial for such patients.

Patients fitted with catheters find it necessary to use a catheter bag in Sunrise and Winter Garden, FL, in conjunction with the catheter to ensure drainage & elimination of urine.
