Around a 15-minute read Well, it’s been a while. Truthfully, I did think about getting rid of the blog. But then a memory popped up of me showing off my stoma bag, and I was so confident at the time. It reminded me of who I used to be — and that I can get… Continue reading Finding My Way Back To Me

Around a 20-minute read I don't know why I come and go but, well, what a couple of months it's been! Not what I was expecting that's for sure!

Around a 15-minute read Well, here we are, just over 2 weeks post-op! And how do I feel, well the honest answer, not great. My emotions are all over the place and I am still in a lot of pain. The day of surgery was a long one. I had to be at the hospital… Continue reading My Other Bag Is A Gucci

Around a 10 minute read I do not even really know how to start this blog. My Crohn’s right now is horrendous, I cannot go on as I am!
