There is this woman whom I have been connecting with.  Even though I was not feeling like there was a need for a Ostomy friend, there is. It has been very comforting to talk with someone else whom has gone through the same things as me.

Over the years I have become more comfortable with my bag and all of its noises, yet when you are with your Ostomy friends and theirs starts to make noises it feels like a weight has been lifted, you are not alone, its almost funny.

When we are with our friends they catch us when we criticize ourselves. They remind us to be patient with our selves.  I find listening to their stories help me look at my stories in a new light, often having a more intense concern for them, than I did for my self in the same situation.

Ok we can do it alone, but why? There are many great people out there who we can share our friendship with. Whether you connect on line or in the real world, reach out to some one, it makes the journey way more fun.

 Love love sheri
