#ileostomybag

Stephanie Rowland shared her heart and this is a must read friends💛😭 Let's chat if this resonates at all!! “I've shared very limited testimonies for years because I was so petrified to share my true journey! I have been so afraid that people would judge me or look at me in a negative light. 🙈 But, if it helps someone find an answer to what ails them, it is worth it. I truly share because my life has changed in more than one way. Here goes.... I will never forget it. A friend I knew from college, Jaclyn, started posting about gut health and some company called Plexus, and I reached out. You see, I had just beat #coloncancer by having a #colectomy. I had an #ileostomybag as a result of 17 years of #ulcerativecolitis / #crohnsdisease that had never been truly controlled. I was struggling with self image on top of my health, and my gut health was pretty much non-existent. Jaclyn responded to my message, and I ignored her. I spent much of the next several months in the hospital. My body wasn't handling my #bag very well, and I had constant blockages. I was not able to be the mommy, wife, friend, teacher, or HUMAN that I wanted so desperately to be. My body was failing me. It killed me to hear my three year old daughter crying, "I don't want mommy to go to the hosible!!! She just got back from the hosible!" Some time after Jaclyn, I noticed my friend Cara started posting about the same company. I saw her posts, but my mindset was bad. I was in a horrible spot and just knew I was beyond help. I hid her from my feed. It wasn't long before Cara cornered me in my classroom #kindergartenteacher. I humored her and listened as she told me she thought Plexus was what I needed... and I started wondering #whatif. It wasn't until after I carried my #twins with my ostomy that I caved. I was hospitalized seven times in the last 3 months of my pregnancy because my body could barely handle supporting me, let alone two other lives. I had to make a change, and Plexus was it. Well, that change gave me my life back. I did not experience another blockage once I started Plexus. I was able to have surgery to reverse my ostomy, and my doctors were impressed........ https://www.instagram.com/p/CT93kkMlRmT/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was able to have surgery to reverse my ostomy, and my doctors were impressed with the speed of my recovery #jpouch. Best of all, I was able to become more of the person I had always wanted to be! Everything happens for a reason! Perhaps I ignored Jaclyn because I was meant to struggle in that terrible way a while longer. Maybe that struggle made me more appreciative of where I am now. Perhaps it was to help me appreciate the good days, even when they are mixed in with severa https://www.instagram.com/p/CDLSzhYF-dP/?igshid=1i71evjmide0u

Lil update...Just me, my heating pad on my stomach, on high heat🔥in my bathrobe, bare face, freckles, hair wrapped & snuggles with my Parker boy...it has definitely been a scary time again. The amount of pain I have been in has been literally breathtaking. However!!! Middle of the night/early morning hours we started getting slight, VERY slight progress and movement of my small intestine, tiny amount of feces/liquid in my ileostomy bag appeared, it had been way to long since seeing anything...we are still not out of the woods yet, but any progress is good.... we were already discussing & making plans for what hospital I would be going to, and home/life arrangements. Etc. No need at this time. YAY! Thank you all for the prayers, encouragement, love and kindness sent my way. I am beyond blessed. Just because I cannot always reply to every private message, snap chat message, Instagram DM, emails, texts, voice mail..PLEASE believe I read them all & listen to them all. They get me through very low moments. So I am truly thankful to so many of you. I definitely know who I can count on...always. #sharingmyjourney #sharingmystory #ileostomylife #ileostomy #ileostomybag #blockages #smallintestine #lavage #mylife #heatingpad #heatingpadlife #furbabylove #parker #malteseofinstagram #maltese #bridgit #bridgitadelle Hear my entire story under video tab @ www.BridgitAdelle.com Snapchat Bridgit Adelle Facebook Bridgit Adelle #fighton💪🏼

When I am having a rough time, health wise, walking out on our deck can be that peaceful moment I need...I finally walked on the deck to get fresh air, firm believer in getting fresh air, clear your mind, good for the soul. I took a few pictures of my succulents, and the blooms!!! Truly makes me smile. #sharingmyjourney #medicalnegligence #ileostomy #ileostomybag #fistulasurgery #blockages #lavages #ostomyawareness #freshair #succulents #photobyme #photographylover #succulentslover #nature #naturelover #bridgit #bridgitadelle #website #blog #sharingmystory, under videos@ www.bridgitadelle.com or facebook Bridgit Adelle Snapchat Bridgit Adelle #fighton💪🏼

In case you have not seen fb or Snapchat, I have been in so much pain the last week/few days, trying to suck it up, but Friday was my tipping point. Been in bed, dealing with blockages, doing lavages, & going on 3 weeks of not getting any relief below...this afternoon, I finally walked on deck to get fresh air, firm believer in getting fresh air, clear your mind, good for the soul. I took a few pictures of my succulents, and the blooms!!!
