I know I'm two days late for #WorldOstomyDay, but when you live with a #stoma, timing isn't always in your control! 🙈 This week, I feel like I'm in need of something to soothe my soul, so now I've finished work, I'm sitting down with a ceremonial cacao, watching a series I just started watching called outlaws, trying to learn embroidery. Happy autumn equinox! 🍂 Just because I've not shared any pictures of "the babies" for the last five months 🐾🥰 Hospital admissions and #MedicalTrauma leave a mark long after you walk out the doors. Another swap on the mission to reduce microplastics in our home/body! 🔪 Hoping the algorithm will help me reach my people!🤞 I used to have 6K+ connections on Insta, until I was hacked! I'd love to be able to reconnect! 💕 A quick heads-up to anyone who ever buys or plans on buying us presents… 🎁🫣 I’ve spent the last few weeks completely overhauling my home to clear out microplastics. I wrote about how reducing microplastics can benefit people with #IBD and other #ChronicIllness 🔗 https://advocatinghealth.com/2026/09/08/reducing-microplastics-to-benefit-ibd/ First, apologies for the recent irresponsible post! Intestinal blockage aftermath... I’ve switched to an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet recently, but adapting it to suit my specific restrictions (intestinal strictures from surgeries) has been a lot to get my head around! 😵‍💫
