Hello everyone.

My name is Ann and I've been an ostomate now for almost 23 years! I've
gone through and survived many things that could happen to a person
with a ostomy. And all within the first 2 years of having my initial
1st surgery.

I was married for 9 years and then separated for 7 years. Before the
separation occurred we had a child and he's now 12 going on 45!! I am
also a single full time parent to him.

As for work, well I used to drive a school bus. Since April of '07
though I haven't been working. I had a total knee replacement in July
of '07, hence the reason I stopped working.

That's all for now folks, feel free to email here and I'll answer you
all when I can.!

Have a blessed day! Ann
