My Colostomy Story

The book "My Colostomy Story: How I Ended Up with a Sh*t-Bag after a Hysterectomy" is a colostomy patient's story about a dark time of her life, a journey that took her through personal medical trials and tribulations, finally ending up with a colostomy surgical procedure. It is a story about how her life has been fraught with many challenges spanning more than twenty years. That patient is me. It was the saddest time of my life. How did it all start? What led to it all? How did it all end up with a stoma and having to wear a shit bag? Here in this book, I give you a non-medical viewpoint of what I went through. If for whatever reasons, you have to be in my shoes, then it is good to know what to expect from your condition, how to manage it, and how to live your day-to-day life like you don't have a care in the world. When I compare my struggles to the medical travails and health challenges of some others, maybe it wasn't that terrible after all. Many have gone through worse situations no doubt, but for me, waking up that morning on a hospital bed, with tubes all over the place, beeps and flashings, and a colostomy bag stuck to my abdomen, I thought it was the end of my world. It certainly was the saddest day of my life, or so I thought.
