4 years, wow.. to think that 4 years ago today I was saved. Stevie saved my life, gave me a second chance, gave me a new life. Sometimes when I think back I feel how surreal it all seems.. to think that ulcerative colitis nearly took my life.. a slow and painful death.. 4 years…
Hey there Everyone, it's Stevie here. Charlotte has been doing all the talking for coming up to four years soon, and you know what, I felt like it was time I got to have a say too, I've kept quiet for long enough now! As you know, I'm Stevie, Stevie the Stoma, and I was…
"How often do you change your bag?" I often get asked this question, and I can honestly say, I don't know. I use a drainable bag for my ileostomy, meaning I can empty it whenever I go to the toilet, which is what I do, or however often I want. How often I change my…
Today as I stood having a bagless shower I looked down at my stomach.. my brown stomach with a white circle on the right hand side between my bellybutton and hip bone. In the middle of this white circle is a red little rose..my little stoma.. I have only had my stoma for three and…
Let's talk about camping. I've never been a camping girl, not before surgery or after really. My ideal camping is in a hotel room with a comfy bed, nice warm clean shower, functioning toilet and heat.

Hey all, sorry it's been a while, times just flown by! I've been doing lots and nothing haha but today's post I really just wanted to focus on one thing. Prolapse. So I have experienced my first prolapse, and my days, it was very scary! It was a few weeks back and I had had…
Wow. I cannot believe it has been a year! Today marks the day! November 1st. What a year it has been. It's amazing to think what I have been able to do thanks to Stevie! So lets rewind a bit first. After an extremely tough month, or well months of no food, no sleep, a…
This summer I have realised something, well rather had it confirmed. My body is made for warmer climate. I love the sun, I love having a golden shine, it makes me feel healthy and boosts my confidence like god knows what, and best of all, I don't feel like I need to wear as much…
Today I am suffering, but oh my was it worth it! Last night was my first big concert with Stevie! And my first visit to a portaloo (or as it is called in Swedish 'bajamaja' and I just love that name), ill get back to this later. We went to see John Fogerty here in…
