I am sick of it - the smell, the warmth of liquid sitting in a bag on my body, the weight of it, the worry about explosions, worry about leakage. But don't get me wrong, I am often grateful for my ileostomy but only if I can remember to be thankful. Today, I can't remember to be thankful. I don't want to be brave. It does feel really great to complain! Can we whine more often on this forum??
