This could be partner, mum, sister or friend who has a or ? Why not buy a stunning piece of lingerie which is just for a stoma, ostomy? To give back the confidence that a stoma, ostomy is not the end of the world. So a little about me, I was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in June 2013. I didn't fit the profile to having this but I was so lucky that I had a GP who looked beyond my age just my limited symptoms. I was not really ill, tried now and again, on off bleeding and a pain in my side. At the time NHS was promoting that your symptoms needed to be for three weeks, mine were not. After treatments and surgeries, one being a reversal. I was left with limited control of my bowel. This I just couldn't live with this, there was a lot of thought over whether I should have an ileostomy. After the last surgery I started looking for beautiful, elegant and s*xy lingerie. To my surprise I could not find the right material or designs. There was the medical model which does have it's place just not in my lingerie draw. Plus they were made with man made materials which made my body sticky and sore. So Unspoken Rosebud was set up. My first shop is on Etsy. There is a Facebook group stoma, ostomy whatabag which I have started to give a more inclusive approach to information. The plan is to have useful information in ome easy place to use and a safe place to share.

“I'm not the person I was before my stoma.”

You're right.

You're probably not.

And that's okay.

A major illness, surgery and everything that comes afterwards can change you.

Your body changes.

Your priorities change.

Your energy changes.

Your relationships can change.

The things you once took for granted can suddenly require planning.

But here's what I want you to remember.

Changed doesn't mean lost.

Stoma, ostomy life can turn your brain into a professional problem finder.

Going out?

But what if I leak?

Going somewhere without many toilets?

*But what if I need one?*

Swimming?

*But what if the bag comes off?*

Wearing that dress?

*But what if I can't empty my bag?*

And before you know it, you've talked yourself out of doing the thing.

I learned to change the question.

Instead of:

“Can I do this?”

I started asking:

“How can I make this work?”

That's a completely different question.

Going somewhere for the day?

Okay. Bigger bag.

Spare supplies.

Something to change into.

Know where I can stop if needed.

Then go.

I once ended up doing a full bag change in the back of the car in a lay-by with the Welsh mountains in front of me.

Was it glamorous?

Not exactly. 😂

Did it need doing?

Yep.

So I did it.

And then carried on.

Life with a stoma, ostomy isn't about making sure nothing ever goes wrong.

Because things will go wrong sometimes.

It's about knowing you can deal with them when they do.

That's where confidence starts to grow.

Next time your brain says, You can't do that, try asking:

“Okay… so how could I make it work?”

You might surprise yourself. ❤️

Being careful after surgery is sensible.

Your body needs time to heal.

You need to build yourself back up.

But sometimes…

careful quietly becomes fear.

“I can't go there.”

“What if I leak?”

“What if people notice?”

“What if something happens?”

However once you have healed you need to open up your world, one thing and one step at a time.

Honestly, if someone had handed me a massive manual on everything I needed to know after surgery, I think I would have put it straight in the bin. 😂

There is SO much to learn.

Which bag to wear?

Which fl**ge will sit on my skin?

How often do I change it?

What happens if it leaks?

What can I eat?

What happens when I go out?

Can I swim?

Can I sleep on my tummy? Which is a resounding NO

Can I have s*x? Absolutely

Can I exercise?

And that's before your brain has even caught up with what has happened to your body.

So don't try to solve your whole bloody life in one go.

Learn the next thing.

Today it might be learning how to change your bag.

Tomorrow it might be figuring out what products work for you.

Then perhaps it's walking to the end of the road.

Then having a coffee with a friend.

Then going somewhere a little further.

Every little thing teaches you something.

And those little lessons start becoming habits.

Just like learning to drive.

You don't learn every road in the country before you get behind the wheel.

You learn the car.

Then the road.

Then the traffic.

Then you build confidence.

Living with a stoma, ostomy is a bit like that.

One thing at a time.

One step at a time.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by everything you think you need to know, tell me what the *next thing* you're struggling with is. You don't have to figure it all out alone. ❤️

You're right.

You're probably not.

And that's okay.

A major illness, surgery and everything that comes afterwards can change you.

Your body changes.

Your priorities change.

Your energy changes.

Your relationships can change.

The things you once took for granted can suddenly require planning.

But here's what I want you to remember.

**Changed doesn't mean lost.**

You don't have to become exactly who you were before surgery.

You don't have to recreate your old life.

You get to discover who you are **now**.

For me, that meant becoming someone who would actually stand in front of a camera. 😳

Someone who would talk openly about things I once wouldn't have mentioned.

Someone who started sharing the good, the bad, the embarrassing and the downright ridiculous parts of life with a bag.

Someone who realised I didn't need everyone to like me.

Bloody hell… that's growth! 😂

There are parts of the old me that are still here.

My humour.

My stubbornness.

My love of adventure.

My need to help people.

But there's a lot more to me now too.

And I quite like the woman I've become.

So if you're mourning the person you were before your stoma, ostomy surgery…

Don't rush yourself.

But don't assume she's disappeared either.

You might just be discovering someone new

What part of *you* is still there, underneath everything that has happened? 💛
