Hi Tammy:

My name is Bob and I am also new to the group. I just joined last week. I had a
urostomy when I was 48 and now 9 years later things are going pretty well. There
was an adjustment period for me and I got by it. My wife has never gotten used
to it, that is why I joined this group and one other. So I could talk with
people who know what it is like. I have met some wonderful people.

take care,
Bob
