Stoma name: Stanley Samsonite
E-mail address: amy@maazee.com
Country: Canada
Comment on your choice of stoma name:Stanley had been "born" about a month before I read somewhere that naming one's stoma helps the ostomate cope. Looking down I saw a slumped over wizened up little button much like an older man named Stanley in my acquaintance and it just seemed right. I never told said gentleman this. My Stanley's second name came to me when my husband suggested that the small bag filled with supplies Stan came home with from the hospital could have his name embroidered on it much like people's luggage. I also realized that his second name works on two levels as Stanley is never without his bag. Hence my stoma was dubbed Stanley Samsonite from then on.

Although I was going to name the stump STINKY STUMP or WINNIE THE POOP but figure those had been done. So I have Prada and she wears various bags. Tomorrow we are decorating one with winnie the poo stickers and next week I am ordering a cover with a gucci pattern. LEGION was evil and kept me hidden in my house for 20 years. Prada is ordained and has allowed me to leave the house. Might as well do it in style :)

Comment on your choice of stoma name:My choice in stoma name came when I was under some medication after my ostomy surgery.(lol) I had remembered my stoma nurse telling me some people named there stoma. So I decided on
Lily "the iley" (as in Ileostomy). It is quite handy to refer to her as Lily. It's like secret code and only the people who know about Lily knows who I am referring to.

Lily is acting up today....
I have to go deal with Lily now...

E-mail address: pickmansm@hotmail.com

Comment on your choice of stoma name:Shortly after my mother received an emergency colostomy placement due to radiation treatment induced colitis, her stoma severely prolapsed. She had to wait 3 months in between surgeries (for healing) to have an ileostomy placed. Her prolapse almost completely filled her bag when not stimulated, and had the looks of a giant lobster when it was. Because of the pressure and weight, my then 57 year mother cradled her with her hand(s) while walking. She demanded our full attention!
I always loved the name Anna, and so it just came to me when we decided to name her, prior to the ileostomy surgery.
We intermittently talk about her so much in public, a passerby might be thinking we are discussing a dear friend, or a very undisciplined child.
She is 7 years old now and although Anna can at times be our main priority, she doesn't run the house anymore! "Thank God".

Of course, when it's being bad it's called other names LOL

So after surgery he asked me what that was allabout so I explained it to him and oh did it make him laugh, he said he had never seen anyone do anything like that. FUNNY. Thanks for reading my story.

Anyway I named my stoma SweetPea because the SweetPea is one of my most favorite flowers as the scent that magnificent flower puts out is almost beyond comparison. Something I can honestly say my stoma SweetPea falls a little short on but she does her job and that's all I ask of her. Well that and remaining as inactive as possible when I'm doing a change.

I hope that by resubmitting my orginal, it can be in the Registry for posterity (or posterior-ity?--hahaha)...
My ileostomy stoma was born 11/17/06, after a colon cancer scare and longtime crohn's colitis, with my diseased displeased colon "screaming" to be removed! I named her "Chai Gutsy" because it took a lot of guts to get to and have the surgery, and she saved my life (chai). For the first few months, I greeted her on changing with "Hi, Gutsy!" This was later shortened to "Gutsy." When I hit my 2 year anniversary, I might rename her, and will keep you posted... So, that is what I did, after the Wonderful Wons, I am now into the hopefully, Terrific Twos... 12/8/08

He has a mind of his own so there is no way of knowing what will be going on from one day to the next. But I am grateful that he is with me. The alternative is pretty grim.

Comment on your choice of stoma name:I used to know this skinny little ninty pound cowboy construction worker with really bad acne who drank too much and was a terrible bragger and cusser. Everyone called him Bad Ass because of course he wasnt. But he even had it embroidered on his blue company work shirt.

He died a few years ago, so I named my stoma in his honor.
