Ostomy Lifestyle model Rosemary Griffiths
June 17, 2009I’ve mentioned this ostomy fashion show before, and the group has a new video up, this one about model Rosemary Griffiths. Her tenure with an ostomy has been relatively short, though she suffered with IBD for years.
The point I want to make with this video is a point that I’ve made often already, both privately and publicly: avoiding surgery simply for fear of living with an ostomy is no way to live. As Rosemary states in this video, she avoided surgery for nine years, and now that she has the ostomy, she wishes she would’ve had surgery much sooner.
It’s worth noting that many people tell me the exact same thing after they finally get surgery.
Keep fighting,

It’s me in the video and every time I watch it, it reminds me of what I’ve been through and how great my life is now I have a Ileostomy. I’ll never look back!
