Hi, this is my first time on here, so first of all I am not a good speller lol. I had a massage blockage and had my whole colan removed. It took me about 4 month's, my ex husband changed it for me. But I am find now, I am glad I am still here, my ex told me I almost died because my colan busted and poinsin had entered my blood streams. But I have had my little red tomatoe for 20 yrs. now. Hang in there it does get better. God bless........ :)

Thank you, it's easier to deal with now nearly 2 years later in that I can change it quickly and I don't puke when i see that gross thing. I still hate looking in the mirror and I hardly leave home anymore but going to start counselling to see if that helps, I'm so unhappy and after having Crohns for 40 years and dealing with many surgeries, I thought I could handle this 😣
