    My wife has a colostomy. Compared to Beryl, we do have it MUCH better. We all say that the physical toil is nothing as bad as the emotional toil! God please bless all the colostomates.

    I've had my stoma for 18 years. I can identify with the lack of support and missing out on education. This has had a real social and financial impact.These are the things that Surgeons don't tell you and Nurses don't prepare you for.

    What an inspiring story. I was born with Spina Bifida, was given 7 years to live. I have a Urostomy bag (for bladder) for the past 56 years. Was married for 6 years ( husband died unexpectedly of a heart attack). I worked as a receptionist at the Association for the Physically Disabled Greater Johannesburg for 31 years until I no longer could walk. I live in my own batchelors apartment for almost 22 years. Am involved with an amazing English guy 6 years younger than me for 20 years I am Afrkaans). He takes care of me because I became bedridden 4 years ago, although I have the support of my family. I make use of home based care and it is very humiliating as I was very independent apart from the fact that I can't drive. This situation I am in now is very depressing and I can't accept what has happened to me. I don't have children but am the proud mother of 2 beautiful Calico cats (mother and daughter). Some of my family members didn't think I would be productive in live and thought I would land up in a home for people with disabilities but because I was very determined I had to proof them wrong. I'll be celebrating my 59th birthday May 18th next year. From South Africa

    My experience from talking with organisations such as these are that they like to be falsely positive.

    Informative video but bad production as the music coming in and out is too loud and distracting.
