So many old adages about colon

Had someone say "I'll cut you a new one", or "you are a bag of shit"?

Well they did and I am.
Three weeks of starvation and giving blood vials has earned me a Stoma.
Do not look that up.
Well thru the Summer I will deal with a hole in my stomach,
the result of Diverticulitis.
Thankfully it doesn't appear to be a life long affliction.

This is the result of bag after bag of mixed nuts non stop.
They got stuck in the gut.
Surprisingly there are many others like me wearing an Ostomy.

so don't worry anyone out there is going to know about yours unless you tell them.

Plus, you're not going to be caught short in the grocery store for the duration. You'll feel it but no one else will know.

(No, I don't have one. I've just emptied and/or changed many, many of them)
