Gday Erin!!! Great to see not only another Aussie but also another Ostomate. You're profile reads very similar to mine apart from you having a slightly better butt than mine :)
I've had my ileostomy for 5years this April. I had UC as well.
Be sure to come chat to us over on the Team Australia chat room.
Yay! I did wonder how long it would take to find me another ostomate. Is that chat room on discord or steemit.chat?
Its over on Discord.
