Wow..an Internet psychologist. Where did you get your degree?

What am I bitter about?

Read my first post. Read the last line.



I am a member of a very large ostomy board. I have a permanent colostomy. Many of the members have been talking about how they felt she "dissed" them when she opted not to have an ostomy. She did not want to "live with a bag" all her life. While I did not see the documentary, many of them had. They felt that she made like they were freaks because they had to live with a pouch for the rest of their lives. Not all ostomy's are permanent. But then again, she died and they are alive. No one wants to have a pouch. It's not a great way to live. But if I had to chose between having a pouch and possibly prolonging my life, or else unconventional therapy and/or medicine, I would go with the pouch. But, it was her choice to make.
