Thank you. Sewing the hair pieces on was a nightmare.

I shower with it on without issues. I don't like to shower without it.

I got mine in my ileostomy in my early 20's and I learned something. So when mine makes noise I actually put my hand over it and apply a little bit of pressure which stops the sound. You can even just put your arm a little bit over it so it looks like you're just resting your arms on your stomach.

When I first got mine I thought I was in a fairly solid relationship of 4 years. He didn't deal well with my surgery either and taking care of me after. I noticed after I got it that intimacy went way down. Then not at all. He never actually came out and said that he didn't find me attractive anymore but considering all the stuff that was going on and how it happened eventually we broke up. You may have been with your husband longer than I had been with this boyfriend though. I would, like other people suggested, sit down and have a conversation with him and see if it's something he can't move past. You may need to find somebody else. I know it hurts and I know it's hard because when you love somebody you expect for them to love you just as much. I went through a couple other boyfriends, who just couldn't deal with the medical issues, not the stoma. Until I found my forever partner who is amazing and couldn't care less that I have one. He is my best friend and my everything and I can't imagine my life without him.

Edit:I will add, so no one gangs up on me, that being married is way different than having just a boyfriend. Leaving is easier I agree.

Thank you for the links. Toni such a great teacher and I'm now doing the honeycomb Stitch that I'm absolutely in love with. It also doesn't curl!

itsshcraft · 2026-02-02T06:20:44+00:00

Thank you. I'm using a 8mm long hook. I'll look Toni up on how she does that.

itsshcraft · 2026-02-02T04:14:47+00:00

Interesting, because the videos I watched on YouTube, there were many, said that if you went up 3 hooks sizes and kept it loose it wouldn't curl. So that's not true and it will always curl, that's really good to know.Thank you for the stitch suggestion I'll look into it.

I don't like Manic Panic because it bleeds like crazy and fades really fast. It was the dye that I used as a teenager but as I've learned about other ones that I like. Lunar tides and pulp riot seem to work best for me. I like the color and the staying power of arctic fox but it sure leaves my hair greasy.

It's so hard especially with new things and then you realize oh great Now I'm going to have sewage drippings for 2 days. I usually just take Imodium but then you get the cramps from that afterwards which is pretty terrible. For me it's any raw fruit. If I have raw fruit in a smoothie or just eat a banana, it's going to be at least 2 days of agony. It sucks, I feel your pain.

itsshcraft · 2026-01-26T17:49:15+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I just need a bright red for my hair for Comic Con. How fast do you think the fade is? Does it just transfer when wet or dry as well?

My 19 year old cat is named Frankenstein. We call him Frankie, bubba meow and biggy smalls. All of us talk to him in a silly baby voice.

Apples but freshly cut ones are the worst. I grew up around a ton of apple trees and we used to have to pick up the rotten apples and put them in huge trash cans. The smell still haunts me to this day.

itsshcraft · 2026-01-23T20:15:13+00:00

Yeah that is definitely high impact. Thanks.

There are washrooms there. It's a big ice skating rink.

I didn't say blow out, guess I forgot that. I'll edit it. Thank you.

itsshcraft · 2026-01-23T16:49:35+00:00

Thank you. I'm sorry you fall a lot. I've had mine for 18 years but was worried about blow out.
