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…
