The stoma care advice you want

Have I fully accepted my stoma? If I’m totally honest…nope. Am I hopeful that one day I will? Absolutely.

When I was first told that I would be living with a stoma, I was overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.

Parenting with a stoma, where do I start?! This is such a wide open question.

I’m not afraid to admit that my mental health has been in the gutter for the last two years due to being bed bound thanks to endometriosis and Buddy the cyst.

Most of you may know me and remember when I had my Barbie butt surgery back in May 2022 after my having my stoma surgery the year prior thanks to ulcerative colitis (UC).

Choosing to get a stoma reversal is an easy yes for same, for others, it can be a dilemma.

My mental health hasn’t been a straightforward journey; for me, it’s had lots of ups and downs.

Not sure I’m the person to be writing about managing anxiety with a stoma, sometimes I don’t feel like I’m managing it at all.

For me I have improved my mental health to a good place, but it always feels like it is just in remission and could bounce back and affect me at any given time.

I think every girl dreams about their wedding dress from a young age.

After months of planning, it was finally the weekend of my cousins’ hen weekend!

I recently got back from the most amazing trip to Ibiza to celebrate my best friend’s hen do.
