Nevertheless everybody living with a temporary
or permanent ostomy should be informed of its
existence. |

Diagnosed with crohn’s
disease in February 2007 at the age of 45 years, I
had to undergo a first operation in May 2007 (abscesses
drainage caused by a fistula). Despite a close medical
follow-up and taking medication (cortisone and purénéthol),
an emergency operation took place June 24 for a removal
of one part of the small intestine and colon. Which
ended with a temporary ileostomy from June 24 to September
14 2007.
On my return home on July 2, 2007, my sisters gave
me gift of the short skirt and I also received the
ostomy belt (in net) from my godfather and his wife… WOW!
What a wonder!!! To have lived it, I do say and I repeat
that to be able to live with assistance of a ostomy
belt has helped me to live 75% better and helped me
to accept this position that in my case was only temporary.
As much as for the discomfort and the insecurity that
one lives in such a position in that of the acceptance,
this is a beautiful true invention.
In any case, I did some research for these ostomy
belts because I did not know of its existence. Strange
thing... Nobody in the medical field whom I deal with
knew of this invention: nurses, gastro-enterologist,
my surgeon, my family doctor, the nurse at the pharmacy,
as well as the participants of the CLSC of my region.
Nevertheless everybody living with a temporary or permanent
ostomy should be informed of its existence.
Since September 14, 2007, I no longer have ostomy
but I continue to inform the people of my entourage
of this beautiful magnificent invention.
