It's my stomaversary
It is 6 years since the operation that saved my life but took my bowel and bladder. Thanks NHS.
'Twas cancer took my womb
and sent it to its tomb
But that was quite ok
Don't want kids anyway
'Twas cancer took my bladder
That made me somewhat madder
Until I learned I can
Pee just like any man
'Twas cancer took my bowel
I did not toss the towel
Though pooping through my tum
It really feels quite rum
'Twas doctors saved my life
They cured me with their knife.
I'm a two bag lady
Who'll make a ton, maybe.
All I ask for is loos
To use if my bags choose
To spring a leak outdoors
See here to learn some more
So if one day you see
Someone as fit as me
Use a disabled loo
You'll know to keep your cool.
What extraordinary challenges you have had! So glad for those doctors who got you through it all and saved someone who in turn gives us great reading! It is truly amazing what science can achieve. My husband had a colostomy bag temporarily. 8 inches of intestine removed at the age of 36. He was fortunate that they could remove it. Didn’t know if they would initially.
