This photo popped up on my facebook page memories a few days ago, from 6 years ago.. at first I didn't think much of it, and then I realised why it actually has a great deal of importance.. 3 months before this photo I had moved to Malmö, a new city where I barely knew…
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…

Just quick one! Happy valentine's day all! I know we don't need a special day to show we care however it is nice to show that someone you love just a bit extra appreciation today. Something as simple as picking a flower on your way home, writing a note and leaving it for them somewhere,…
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…
3 years ago today - January 31 - was the day I met my blondie. I was out on a girls night, totally off men and just enjoying being me. It was a cold night and payday weekend so everywhere was busy. We were cold and didn't want to stand in the queues so we…
The day before yesterday marked mine and Stevies 9 month day. 9 months ago I started a completely new chapter of my life. It has lead to me getting my life back, being able to do thing again, not be in pain and not bleed myself dry. It has ups and downs, but I am…
Welcome to the Life o Charlotte
