this prob has nothing to do with advice but i think we need to have a joke about this from time to time to help us all get through. a lot of posts are with problems so lets give more of a happy side to things, maybe this is the wrong section if so im sorry but im sure the mods can move it but here is what i want to know....

I didn't have a name for the end ileostomy, however i have taken to calling the loop ileo YOU LITTLE F*@$�"! IRRITATING B%&*$%�! Won't miss the bugger (but secretly thankful for his role in my journey.

I call mine Albert. I named him in the hospital while full of pain medicine. I had just heard my Dad tell a story about this plastic allegator he bought for the pond behind their house to scare the geese away. He name it Albert the Alligator. And at the time I thought I was being original.
He was nearly named Big Willie when I first saw him when I woke from surgery because he really was huge, but as he shrank a little so did his name!
He's still quite big for a stoma and as his name implies he looks like a "wee willie" but he's become my friend and has saved me from a huge pain in the butt! (pun intended! )
