The United Colon Vlog

Hey everybody, another milestone was reached yesterday here at the United Colon Vlog: 100 original videos now posted! When I first started this project I figured I’d make a few videos about my journey with flare-ups and surgeries and then do a video about emptying an ileostomy appliance and changing it. Once I got started in this project I realized how much ulcerative colitis had changed my life and affected every part of it. I started making videos about all aspects of living with colitis, living with an ileostomy, and living with a J-pouch.

This is how we end up with 100 videos.

Some of these videos are more popular than others. But for those of you who are new to this site or who have followed it half-heartedly for a few months, now might be a good time to go back and check out some videos you have missed.

And increasingly I am finding more videos about ulcerative colitis and ileostomies from others, plus three people are currently helping me translate select videos into other languages, bringing the total videos available on this site even higher.

If you are thinking I’m running out of ideas, you have another thing coming! I have a list of video ideas that I add to every week. Most likely all of them won’t be made into videos but certainly I have enough ideas for the next 100 videos. I have a ton of videos planned describing various medical procedures and issues–I really haven’t focused on that too much these first 100 videos. Plus I have more videos about ileostomies and J-pouches planned as I haven’t covered everything there is to know yet.

And, of course, I’ll continue to update you on my progress as the months tick by. Recently I gave you a six month J-pouch update–there will be more updates in the future.

With any luck, and a little help for you, I will soon get some Gutbending videos made, but I can’t do that if I don’t get videos from you guys. Some day, too, I’d like to make original videos featuring other peoples’ stories, as my perspective is only one perspective.

If you have any video ideas, reply to this post and let me know! I have fun doing this project and hope to continue it long into the future!

Keep fighting,
