Olostomy Adverts?

[Tilly2]

What are these horrible olostomy adverts I keep getting on AB? What is an olostomy?

[Tilly2]

Sorry, it's ostomy.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Scrivens. I had no idea. Have you seen the adverts?

[Psybbo]

No Tilly, there but for fortune, s-I-s hasone

[Tilly2]

Sibs, what's s-I-s? ..............sister in s..............?

[pixie373]

Why would they advertise them? Are you going to go and buy an ileostomy?

[Psybbo]

Sorry Tilly, S-I-law

[Tilly2]

I don't know pixie. The adverts keep appearing on my page. Odd isn't it?

Ah, sister in law. Now I understand, sibs. ;-)

[boxtops]

I haven't seen them, and I see adverts. Have you got a link :-(

[Psybbo]

Last week I was inundated with ads, I'd inadvertently allowed a couple of sites to download, Daughter's bf sorted it on Saturday, he's my favourite geek!

having had one for six months - an awful six months of my life

however - you can get a click on click off bag and leave the skin thingey.
Twist and pull for the bag.
Never got used to it

and for lay-deeze with permanent ostomies who dont like the smell - you can get lavender scented ones. QM had one apparently

Life with an ostomy is an awful as it sounds.

Yes you're right there Peter .I sympathise with you .My husband has had one for nearly four years now and it's not reversable :(

[BigEv]

I'm the same as Scrivens...I use Ad Blocker Plus...so don't see any of them!!

[Peter Pedant]

.

shaney tell him I sympathise -
still the alternative....

[Mamyalynne]

Peter, I agree the alternative is not worth thinking about, as distressing as they can be they are lifesavers in many ways.
