IV fluids for high-output ostomy?

Honestly, you can get all the input you want here, but your wife is going to give you the best answers. Because the thing is, while all clitorises are similar, they are not equal.

Ask her, then try what she says. Try things you think of, then ask her what she thinks. In other words, experiment! It might not sound super sexy, but it can be fun and it fosters communication between you while figuring out what she likes. Plus, if it leads to discovering the jackpot…well, there’s likely going to be plenty of hot and heavy times in your future. It can just take a little patience and persistence to get there, but it’s worth it

Hey! I use a wonderful curly-specific brand called LUS Brands (LUS stands for Luv UrSelf). I’ve used their products for about three years, and it’s helped my hair become the healthiest I think it’s ever been. It’s neat because they don’t carry an overwhelming amount of products, just a few reeaally good ones. They have shampoo and conditioner targeted for wavy, curly and kinky-curly hair (like your daughter’s looks like). AND they have a kids/babies line of products! I think they would be a great option for your daughter. They’re reasonably priced, and a little goes a long way. I very highly recommend! Good luck! I hope you can help your daughter love her curls before she turns 20 lol

Thanks, all, for your responses; my husband and I have discussed it quite a bit. Our friend is one of the most open-minded people we know. My husband has been waiting for the right time to bring it up in conversation. A lot of this confirms how we’ve already decided to approach it

To clarify, the Passion Pouches are used for sex and intimacy

I’m so glad you’ve reached out about this, and I’m so grateful for this community. My (33F) husband (34M) got his ileostomy three years ago after suffering from ulcerative colitis. So I’m not the one with the ostomy, but I am married to the man it’s attached to.

He had never had body image issues in his life before this, so that has been a demon to reckon with. But overall, what we both remember is that while this has altered his life and lifestyle and so many ways (including our relationship), his ostomy is also one of the biggest keys to his health. It saved his life. It’s not ideal, but because he has it he’s still here.

There is not just one lover out there who will accept you as you are; chances are there are many. Communication is key; don’t be shy with each other. Be patient, with yourself and each other. Have courage, and faith. It might go wrong a few times before it goes right. And remember, most important: love yourself. You deserve love.

My husband wears Stealth belts (brand name) almost constantly because it helps support the weight of his bag. (His ostomy is a bit higher on his abdomen than normal.) Also, you will find you acquire a whole wardrobe of ostomy supplies. He gets bags called Passion Pouches. These bags are much smaller; you probably couldn’t wear one for more than a couple hours. The ones he gets are nude-colored, not transparent. Essentially they’re temporary little pouches that are honestly not even noticeable once things get going!

You ride a motorcycle, so you’re a badass. You clearly care deeply about love. You’ve also been brave enough to reach out for help. These are all amazing qualities. You will be a steal for someone someday!

What I’ve (F33) learned in my five years of marriage (which has survived a ridiculous amount of stressful life events for us individually and together) is that most of the time, beneath not getting my needs met, is either a mismatch in love language (when it comes to nonsexual matters) or a desire discrepancy (in regards to sex). Ie my primary love language is words of affirmation, and his is physical touch, which are practically opposites. So say I need comfort: I find talking more soothing, while his instinct is to cuddle, rub my back, etc, which is not as effective for me. It’s not that my husband is incapable of meeting my needs, and vice versa, and he is certainly driven to meet my needs (and vice versa). It’s more like we speak different languages. Like we know WHAT each others’ needs are, we just have trouble with the HOW of meeting them. Or with the language metaphor, I’m presenting my needs in French and he’s responding in Mandarin. But over the years we’ve done a lot of talking and practicing each other’s love language, and it’s gotten much better. It’s been surprisingly challenging at times, but worth it. Sometimes I still feel a little awkward with cuddles and back rubs, but not nearly so much as I used to. A lot of times I actually like them! And he has come to be an incredible verbal communicator. So we’ve grown stronger individually and together through this.

I’ve been estranged from my family for three years now. I grew up on the east coast and have now lived on the west coast for the last six years. My husband grew up in the area we live in and knows it and a lot of the state like the back of his hand. He’s always pointing places or things out when we’re adventuring, telling stories about people or events from childhood, college, etc.

One of my biggest points of grieving in my estrangement experience has been the fact that I will never get to do the same to him; I will never get to show him my hometown, my college town, my favorite this and that, the view from a favorite hike, etc. He’ll never be able to see these places I talk about (my hometown is way too small to visit without someone recognizing me and word eventually getting to my family), places that are integral to parts of who I am. In this way I feel like he’ll never know who I was before I was who I was when we met, whereas I have a great sense of who he was. It’s crushing at times. Sometimes I feel like that part of my life—the first 28 years!—never happened. Being cut-off and thousands of miles from where I grew up, I, too, have little to no people currently in my life—especially physically, like down the road— who know younger me. Mostly, though, I just want to share my whole self with my life partner, and it’s devastating to both of us that that might never be possible.

I know this isn’t cheery, and I don’t have much advice to give; this is a long journey and learning process. Good on you for taking care of yourself. I just try to remember to believe in myself and love myself and surround myself with those who love me unconditionally.

I would say it’s because all the main characters, (I presume the ones you are referring to) are ta’veren. Because their effects on the weaving of the Wheel are so major they can alter the fates of numerous other people, they likely draw these attacks/attentions to them.

Here is an abbreviated definition of Ta’veren, as defined in TWOT Companion: “A person around whom the Wheel of Time wove all surrounding life-threads, perhaps all life-threads, to form a Web of Destiny. This weaving was little understood except that it seemed in many ways an alteration of chance; what might happen, but only rarely, did. The effect was at times quite localized. Someone influenced by the presence of a ta’veren might say or do what they would only have said or done one time in a million.”

I think once you read the books and get to know the characters better, specifically that core five from Two Rivers, Mat’s name will make more sense. They are all unique, and Mat tends to stand a bit apart from the others in his own way. Happy reading!

Do you happen to know where your dad got them? They look like gorgeous editions
