 Living with two ostomies since she was two years old

“I’ve always slept on my side, having an ostomy hasn’t changed that. If I have a leak when I’m asleep, I’ll wake up because my skin will itch and I’ll feel it and think, ‘oh, my pouch is full,’ the same way someone wakes up and says, ‘I have to go to the bathroom.’”
