I get irked by the thought of having this hole in me and I don't know.. that thought just stops me from researching. Whenever I try and see something, anything that has to do with the freaking hole.. I turn away. I'm a freaking forty freaking two guy. It shouldn't freaking bother me this much, but it does.
This isn't a childish "ewww" response, but rather a weesey watching-a-needle-go-in-my-arm-giving-blood kinda response. If you know what I mean by the difference.
Anyway, I've been trying to deal with this and I'd like to find some pleasant sites to help me ween my way further into acceptance. I don't have an issue getting the stoma and having the lifestyle change - that's not my problem, I'm almost looking forward to life with less Crohns.
I need assistance getting over the Irk factor.
Any specific suggestions would be great because I keep turning away from everything. It's like I want to accept it but I don't want to accept it.
Anyway. Still scouring this site as well, but I never know what I'm missing when I turn away from something, and I turn away from a lot.
