Things got very real today when I met my stoma nurse and she talked me through everything I need to know and gave me a little starter kit. I can practice putting a bag on and learning how to take it off again without ripping my skin. Yay, adhesive remover wipes. So yeah, everything is moving fast now. Hopefully I get a date for surgery really soon. 🤞 #IBDandMe #IBD #CrohnsDisease #Crohns #InstaCrohns #Health #CrohnsWarrior #Surgery #Ileostomy #Ostomy #NewOstomate #Stoma #MyLife #StarterPack #MyLife #CCUK #ItTakesGuts @crohnsandcolitisuk (at Antrim, County Antrim) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3JX1eBP9R/?igshid=loqmbacgj3t7

This is my #ItTakesGuts emoji poster from @CrohnsandColitisUK., in celebration of World IBD Day yesterday. I was diagnosed with Crohns Colitis 17 years ago, and it has been an experience. I think it definitely proves we are stronger than we ever thought. The secret is to have a great support network, and to never be afraid to talk about it. For my fellow crohnies enjoying the IBD Life, you can make your own poster to highlight how this effects our lives at https://www.ittakesguts.org.uk/share/poster-maker. It's quick, fun and will help break the silence for everyone affected by Crohn's and Colitis. #GirlsWithGuts #IBD #IBDandMe #CrohnsWarrior #CrohnsDisease #CrohnsandColitisUK #crohnsawareness #Insta_Crohns #MyLife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsiUrChg3-/?igshid=zfy07zheks8b
