If anyone has a negative reaction to learning about someone's ostomy then that person wasn't worth knowing in the first place.

Your original vlog page has been very helpful. I'm glad someone noticed your talent and brought you on to help their customers. Good luck to you!

That was good advice. Thank you. Sometimes I feel I might blurt out things people may not be comfortable hearing. I am trying not to mention certain facts. Thank you.

So what if my having an ostomy offends someone. My poop leaves my body and ends up in the toilet just like everyone else. It just takes a different route to get there. It's not like I'm going to lift up my shirt and show you my bag or empty it in front of you.

Does this question come up a lot? I feel like this is pretty personal.... I mean if its between you living and dying, this should be self explanatory. If someone had to get a heart transplant you wouldn't question them why they did it...

Can i ask what were the negative reactions you had from people ?
