“Type of ostomies”

Ostomies: they are more than just surgical procedures; they are bridges between medical necessity and the tenacity of the human spirit. In this extended exploration, we will embark on a journey through the world of ostomies, delving into their types, reasons for their existence, the intricacies of their creation, and the art of mastering life with them. Diving into Ostomies: A Multifaceted…

‘What do you do for work” is a loaded question. Friends and customers alike have told me that I shouldn’t care what others think; If they have an issue with my job, that’s their problem! Right? Not always.‘

Are there support groups to help transition to living with a ostomy?

That is a great question! There are around 300 ostomy support groups nationally through an organization I love, the United Ostomy Associations of America. Their website has a helpful support group location tool for those who would prefer to meet in person; the website also endorses that some locations offer virtual support group sessions, as well.

ConvaTec, a leading manufacturer of ostomy supplies, has created an online support community called Me + for people with ostomies to gather information, hear success stories, and form connections with other "ostomates" that transcends transportation restrictions or physical barriers.

Living with an ostomy can prove rather challenging, but there are tools like the Ostomy support belt that have proven to be revolutionary and to improve life significantly. Designed to provide support, security, and comfort, these belts are essential for many ostomy patients. Let's go deeper into their role and benefits in our daily lives.

[heartbeathealthhomecare]

Living with an ostomy can present unique challenges, but it can also be a manageable part of daily life with the right personal care strategies. Comprehensive personal care in Middletown, New York, is at the heart of effective ostomy management.

Able-bodied people (and sometimes disabled/chronically ill people with mild/in remission disease progression) operate under the assumption that medical devices are life(style) limiting and that by using one, you are giving up an able part of yourself.

Medical devices are not life limiting, they are life saving.

Feeding tubes + pumps, piccs, ports, catheters, ostomy bags, cardiac and gastric pacemakers, drains, mobility devices, nebulizers, CGMs, insulin pumps, pain pumps, nerve stimulators, implants, internal defibrillators, etc etc all extend the freedom and life of the user by allowing us to live comfortably with our condition(s).

The assertion that we are limiting ourselves by using medical technology is so prevalent, even in disease-specific communities. There are people in my gastroparesis support groups that are actively starving because they are refusing intervention at this moment, and it's all a byproduct of this mindset that I've touched on before that mental willpower is greater than the progress of chronic illness/disability. And in this case- it's perpetuated by many medical professionals as well. No amount of "eating smaller, more frequent meals" will flip a switch and un-paralyze my stomach, Dr. ER. Hospitalist.

my mom had apr surgery in july and now she’s back on chemo again until february. she recently had to kick my abusive dad out because things got really bad but now we’re financially struggling. she needs a full time caretaker (me) but because of that i’m unable to work right now and i can’t afford to support myself, my mom, and my younger siblings. thankfully my grandparents have been letting us live with them but my mom has a lot of expensive medical things she needs to survive (prescriptions, ostomy bags, etc.) and i’m feeling really helpless right now. any donation or reblog would help out so much. my mom had a gofundme earlier this year but my dad literally took all of the money for himself so i set this new one up that goes straight to her.

I am super privileged to have the family support that I do.

I currently am in WA through Job Corps but my family lives in AZ. My GI surgeon who I need to see is in Seattle. Due to my declining health I have had to drop to part time college and am not able to stay in Job Corps so they are sending me back home to Arizona.

I made an appointment with my surgeon in Seattle in November under the assumption that I was going to be a couple hours away and able to easily attend. Now that I’m moving to Arizona that’s not the case.

My parents care about my health and are willing to pay for me to fly to Seattle several times to first consult with the surgeon and then actually have surgery for my ostomy.

I am such a complicated case surgically due to my history of J-pouch and J-Pouch Prolapse. My surgeon who fixed my prolapse was considered an expert at this surgery and she had only done it twice prior (three times now due to me ^-^). I’m going back to her since she will know best how to work around the mesh implant and all the work that she did.

I’m not looking forward to an ostomy for the sake of having my intestine poking out of my abdomen but I’m excited to stop being sick and dealing with chronic pouchitis.

"Would you like to take a walk together by the ocean, Young Master?" 🏖️🌊

Surgery is coming up soon, so I decided to head to the beach one final time this summer. I had such a fantastic time with friends, the perfect ending to my stoma journey. The last time I cosplayed as Peko, I kept my ostomy bag under my swimsuit, but this time I wanted to do things a bit differently. With my ostomy bag and surgery scars fully visible, I walked onto the beach as a true Crohn's Disease Warrior. 🔥

I'm not sure how active I'll be on here until I recover from surgery, so I just wanted to thank you all again for your patience and support. The hardest part about being chronically ill is wanting to do so much, but being limited by your health.

2023 has been one of the hardest years for me medically, but it's also been a year for reflection and gratitude. I consider myself very fortunate and lucky to have surrounded myself with wonderful people who will go above and beyond for me when the chips are down!

As always, thank you for stopping by my page. I hope to share some more updates again soon! ❤️‍🩹

just wanted to give you a heads up, one jq fan to another - please block and report this account priscillawolf0279 on tiktok. as you can see they are dangerously obsessed with jq and she has threatened violence against fans. she's also been harassing and bullying another fan because she has an ostomy bag. this behavior is not okay and needs to be called out

Ah I saw something about this account on twitter too. Blocking and reporting sounds like a good idea. I’d also advise to completely ignore it other than that. It’ll only feed them. The more you react the more motivated they become to continue.

I didn’t know this was the same person who was involved in that other situation that you mention. I’m glad this person had lots of support from within the fandom, because that was simply cruel and so unnecessary too.

[blood-and-poetry]

I have not been on tumblr for quite a while and it makes me a bit sad. This blog used to bring me so much joy. I am still alive, just not really living. I had six surgeries this year, the last one failed horribly and made everything much much worse. I am at a point where I don't know how much more I can stomach (that's a pun lol, I will most likely get an ostomy next year). I don't want to get into the disgusting and disturbing details but currently, there is not much room for anything in my life. In summer I was reading some amazing lesbian books and dreaming of getting into dating again but now I just get sad because I don't think my personal love life will ever happen again. Not that that's the worst thing in all of this. It just makes this blog too bitter sweet for me right now. I don't want to say that I am at my lowest because life could take it as a challenge but I am very tired. This was supposed to be the year of getting my life back, of working, saving money, meeting people and just living. Instead it's the year of saying goodbye to a lot of food, bodily functions, hobbies, social contacts and dreams. I am currently in bed 24/7 but hoping that this will change again. I have an amazing all women support group, which (alongside my cat) is the only thing keeping me sane right now.

So in general.. this blog isn't dead, it's just resting, like me. Hope to be more active again here someday <3

1, 3, 7, 8, 12 and 13 for the disability pride ask game?

1. What disability/ies do you have? (And are they mental, physical, or both?)

*Music starts up*

Physical: Crohn's Disease, Celiac, Scoliosis, AND Kyphosis. My ankle might also have something going on with it but I'm not sure if it's a disability from "this has been left untreated for too long" or something else

Mental: Autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, probably more shit if I keep digging but right now I don't think I need to

3. What, if any, disability aids do you use? Do you customize them/their containers/outside?

I have an ileostomy because my large intestine is so fucked up from the Crohn's that I basically can't go to the bathroom normally anymore. I have a cover that a nurse made for me but I always forget to put it on so no customization. I also have some citrus slice chewelry necklaces if those count but I need to order other ones

7. What's a struggle you wish more people talked about?

I think I just wish people talked about ostomies or even just gastro issues in general? Like the most acknowledgement I see are IBS jokes and I can never tell if people are laughing because yeah it is hell or because ha ha poop. I remember when I was first told I'd need an ileostomy that I was like "well this is the end of my social life" because of the stigma around fecal matter. It still gets in the way sometimes but like, my friends don't care. The airplane attendants didn't bat an eye and just helped clean up. My family is constantly trying to help and support in any way they can. Just people acknowledging it as something normal so that when someone does have to get one it's not terrifying to them

8. Does your disability affect how you experience other parts of your life?

Being autistic DEFINITELY plays into me being non-binary. I think my OCD also affects my sexuality like yeah I'm aroace and looking back I've always been like that but my OCD affects how I explore it. Which fucking sucks.

12. What's something people don't realize about your disability?

My parents don't seem to realize that yes I'm autistic and that means sometimes there's more to it than quirky things they like. I've gone non verbal a couple of times and gotten in trouble for trying to communicate in writing, I sometimes have a flat "bitchy" voice because I don't have the energy to emote and that doesn't mean I'm angry at them I just can't be a cartoon character anymore, and I've gotten in trouble for vocal stimming. Also same with ADHD, I get in trouble for not remembering some things over others and not having time awareness. Like sorry my brain latched onto a video game instead of reminding me to grab the cat's dishes because I'm leaving in 10 minutes (this means nothing to me)

13. What's the most Abled Person Thing someone has said to you?

I have TWO things. First one, I used to have this therapist I chose because she said she worked with autistic patients and I was starting to suspect I was autistic. I brought it up at the first meeting, she never really brought it up again except for our second to last meeting. She suggested I was a "highly sensitive person". I looked it up then and

Oh my god it's literally just autism symptoms. I was like "do highly sensitive people tend to be autistic?" and she was like "Erm it's often confused FOR autism". She also specifically said "if" I was autistic that I'm "likely high functioning" and "it wouldn't be worth getting a diagnosis". I don't plan on trying to get diagnosed anymore but at the time it felt like a punch to the gut

The second was also when I was a skeleton (flaring up and losing a shit ton of weight because I couldn't absorb any nutrients) and was being pushed in a wheelchair at Disney World. My mom was pushing me and we were headed to the Nemo ride. The cast member at the line entrance "jokingly" said "Don't think you're the princess for the day" and other stuff after that I blocked out. Sir putting aside the misgendering I am almost quite literally a skeleton and barely have any energy. I do not think I'm the princess I think I am going to die YOU CAN SEE MY BONES-
