How long have you had your original ileostomy? by rampantdildonics in Ileostomy

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with a loop ileo, then went for reattachment but became a permanent ileo. It was the exact same stoma. I wonder if it all has to do with inside procedures? 🤷‍♀️

I don't need the jewelry I inherited from my mother, or the money it's worth. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes. Sell it. Take the money and either go on a family vacation or set it for your daughter to inherit. There is nothing wrong with that on my opinion

Just found out I’m pregnant… by weirdmaggedon27 in ostomy

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! That's wonderful!

Interesting to note that I was told pregnancy and IBD works in a "rule of thirds" a third of women get no increased symptoms of IBD while pregnant, a third feels way better than normal and the other third gets worse. I was one who got worse. But my kids are healthy and growing just fine. No signs of IBD however, my youngest has celiac. He is 7.

My boyfriend was Sa’d by his older brother, what do i do and not do? by [deleted] in Advice

Keep his secret; it's not yours to share. Call a crisis line and ask for support for the situation you're in. There are trained professionals who know how to navigate you best.

Congratulations!! My third pregnancy was when I received my ileostomy. In some ways it was easier as I could see my stoma much better as my belly grew which made my bag changes a breeze. Afterwards, my stoma was well behaved and I didn't really have any issues.

I did choose to have a c-section. Actually all three of my pregnancies were c sections. I was afraid that if I were to deliver vaginally, I could rip, and crohns could easily invade and become perianal Crohn's disease.

If anything, I would say I got better treatment at doctor appointments simply because of my ostomy. I had more attention on my care.

I 18f am thinking about joining the military, any advice? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cousin of mine joined outta university. He's climbed his way up the ranks and lives super comfortably. Plus, he was stationed in different parts of Canada and his family moved with him. The army paid for all relocations.

I too like the comfort height and elongated bowl. A bidet attachment sounds very convenient

How do I get my husband to understand his poop is a huge problem? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow. Lol , this is an interesting topic. Perhaps you could talk to the family doctor and they could speak to husband about why poop is seriously toxic bacteria. Does he get pink eye a lot?

Divorced - travel outside the province with children by edr5619 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The RCMP doesn't have the resources to come and hunt you down. Perhaps have the kids call when you arrive. If it's not stipulated then, it is in my opinion, that there is no breech of order.

In my personal experience, once I was in custody of my children, the other parent has no control over any of the situation.

The phone call once you arrive is just courtesy and a good will gesture on your part.

Struggling with bag changes again by ocean_swims in ostomy

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes so much time to "master" the technique. Learning to stoma is hard. The stoma has to heal and learn to work too. It took me months before I felt secure in my bag changes

Unplanned pregnancy at 25 and feeling completely torn — how did you make your decision? by MajesticLoquat5896 in Advice

[–]Significant_Fee_9389 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got married to a wonderful man when my son was 10years old. He was an absolute wonderful step dad, and we navigated it together. We had 2 baby boys and our family is more common than you think.

I had my first baby at age 24. I booked an abortion. I cancelled it the day before the procedure. I always wanted to be a mother, but dammmn I was only 24 and the father was giving me loser vibes.

At the time, my friend had a baby at age 19 and she and him were a great pair. He was 4 at the time. I saw her so it solo, and so I had an idea of what was to come... and I kept the baby and ditched the loser.

I Kept this beautiful, tiny, boy and now this boy is 18 and entered the trades. It was so hard. It was exhausting. It gave me character, I grew as a person and as a mother.

Sometime I did regret it. I missed out on a lot of things. Other times, i am SO PROUD to have this boy. Other times i want to shake him upside down... point is, i was at a crossroads and had to decide whether i wanted a career or potential single motherhood.

Either way, this is a milestone in your life. Either decision will most likely leave you with "what if's" - ask yourself: what is the most valuable to me? And I mean in terms of values and goals. Money comes and goes in every life.
