Vindex, thank you for your input, but the OP has not been back to our forums since the day they posted this thread (14 months ago) and so are very unlikely to see your lengthy response.

You are kidding right? Before my colostomy my bowel routine controlled my life. Now I control my life! I guarantee if you did a survey most will agree with me.Originally posted by Tim C. View PostComment

Not only do we hear about so many people here on our forums who found a colostomy improved their quality of life, there have been several published research studies indicating that this is the case for many people with SCI/D. It is not for everyone, but should be considered an option for those who cannot manage their bowels otherwise.Originally posted by Tim C. View Post

I agree it should be offered as a option. For 24 years I did a 2-4 hour bowel routine. Now a less than 5 minute bag change. I compare it to my sp. Instead of having to cath every 4-6 hours I just empty my leg bag when needed.Originally posted by SCI-Nurse View PostComment
