Loving Life

My blog has been getting some traffic recently which I found surprising since its so old!
But, I love the comments I get, its always nice to hear that your experiences have helped others.

My k-pouch turned 11 (ELEVEN!!!!) years old this past May and I swear I never thought I would make it this far but I am ecstatic.

I empty 4-6 times a day, a lot of that depends upon what I eat, and if I'm drinking carbonated drinks etc. etc.  I can't pass gas like the average person so I gotta intubate to get it out!

Both me and my K-pouch are doing great and we have been on a lot of adventures together!

Here's some things I've been up to:

I'm now a nurse in the OR

I love to hike and bike

I went skydiving

I have taken trips to KENYA and ALASKA

I rode my first century bike ride (100 miles) August 2018

I have emptied in airplane toilets, squatty potties, portapotties, and in the woods :)

So very thankful for my K-pouch!!!!!
