Adjusting to life as an ostomate takes time.

Wow, how lucky we are to have such amazing bodies.

I always follow the rule of share what's comfortable.

There are healthier options for hydration.

Reflections on two years of pooping out of my stomach.

I just want to be Leslie.

Hope you didn’t mind the anatomy lesson.

Why I want to expose all of my abnormalities to the world.

Call it laziness, or call it insanity.

There are no scars to my beautiful.

Being tired all the time is hard to cope with.

The best things to spend money on.

Prioritize your wellness.

I felt unequipped for this.

I am scared and anxious.

A kind of girly look, if you will.

Perhaps "catheter" is the new C-word?

Give me the strength to face whatever is planned for my life.

I don’t define my life by the bag taped to my abdomen.

Now I feel it's my turn to spread the good word.

She's doing so well with an ileostomy.

Moving forward means embracing my new normal and learning to laugh about it.

So much of my life has changed since having ileostomy surgery.
