Ostomy Pride

Well, I've never written two posts in one day but as I was sitting here studying for a test I have on Monday, I came across this picture of a sexy lady with an ostomy.


This sort of reminds me of something you'd see in San Francisco where diversity of EVERY kind is celebrated. It's got to be mighty difficult living with one of these.

  1. that's a tough place to have the bag.
    how have they not been able to replicate a sphincter? i mean, couldn't you put something like a clothespin to let the thing accumulate and open when you want to?
    I know it sounds absolutely stupid but that's my serious question.

  2. soooo, most ostomies empty without any control from the patient. you could be anywhere and gas or stool will just start coming out into the bag. one reason i think the clothespin idea would not work is that your bowels could rupture if not allowed to drain out as needed. yikes! i'm not sure though, i don't know that much about these things...
