I just wanted to say the both of you are a blessing, not only to me for all your kind advice but to everyone who watches you, your advice to me personally has helped no end, today is 2 weeks post op, and only 5 days ago, I felt suicidal, that is the turning point on which I asked you for advice. I have stopped being sick, but still can't eat. And I've lost a stone in weight. My partner who is the live of my life is helping me change my stoma as when I was doing it I kept getting it wrong. And the further advice you gave today to Tony has no doubt helped him. I knew you both were special when I first came across your channel months ago. I hope Pat is feeling better, nothing worse than being sick. Sending warm hugs ❤
Thank you for this comment Rachel. We are so pleased to have been of some help to you. You will get the hang of fitting and removing the bag over time. Pat lost a ton of weight when she had her op, which helped her in the long run, so don't worry about that. Your appetite will return too gradually. We wish you a good gradual recovery, and give our regards to your husband for being such a brick at this time in your lives.
Great video ❤ well done for being open about your personal health issues. Talking about it helps lots of people to realise they’re not alone. It’s good to talk ❤❤❤
Hope you're feeling better Pat, I absolutely love your videos and really look forward to seeing you both every day. I had a colostomy on the 1st of May it was an emergency operation I had a perforated bowel due to diverticulitis, it was a complete shock. I am now very used to my stoma, I have different bags to you though, my stoma nurse calls every 8 weeks to check on me. At first I was distressed but the nurses told me that having my little bag saved my life. Thankyou for being so open about it, much love from Marple, Stockport. My husband was born in Leeds xxxx
Pat would not be here today if it had not been for the operation that left her with a colostomy. We are so pleased that you have become accustomed to yours. Pat has had very little contact with a stormer nurse in the 25 years she has had her colostomy, so you are doing well.
Hope you are feeling better now Pat after being poorly. I think you are wonderful explaining all about your stoma. Not only does it help those with coping with one, but those of us who don't know how they work etc. Will make people maybe a bit more understanding of those who have them. See you tomorrow, bye!
i don't think you realise what a amazing couple you are... i know im 56 but not having parents or grandparents i have no one to talk to about some things so thank you so much
Isn't it better that we don't think of ourselves as amazing, for if we did, we wouldn't be who we are? I personally cannot remember my grandparents, so I stand with you there, and if the things we say fill a void in your life, then that's incredible, and something we are very pleased about, so you are very welcome.
Thank you Pat for all the information about your stoma - it is good to understand what is involved and for your lovely humour around what can happen 💕💜
Your welcome Val. There have been a few incidents that we laugh about now. Such things are bound to happen, and we are glad we can see the funny side of it. ❤️
I appreciated the "subject" discussed. I also believe that we should familiarise ourselves with the information in case we come across someone who may need help. Remember pooing pants when young? Well oldies can do this too. Sorry.. But thanks anyway for your explanation. I hope you're feeling better Pat and have one of his dirty socks handy just in case he snores. There's quite a bit of information and video of the Bridgewater canal breach. The people are very fortunate they weren't moored up anywhere near the breach otherwise we'd be reading more about human loss. Looks like some timber in intermediate control locks are rotten and giving way so the authorities are trying to sandbag and using plastic sheets to seal up these damaged areas thus keeping narrow boats afloat. Most boats look okay, there's one that looks to be across the canal which will need to be moved so other traffic will be able to get through when the time comes. It looks as though the flooded land is now clearing up. Snow added to the catastrophe. Mud has turned to slush. Horrible stuff. Question, how far from you is this breach? Bridgewater looks west of London according to what my map shows. Stay safe and keep warm. Cheers..
I have been told it's the Leeds & Liverpool canal, which is the one we are next to. It's nowhere near London unless there are two of them. There are a lot of boats grounded including a marina. There is no water in the canal at all at the place I have seen Barry, it will take years to fix I should think.
I remember when me and the kids were ill with norovirus, fighting for the bog all night, and Karl slept through it too. We only had a dusting of snow, it was the frost that was bad for us. I remember my Nan had a colostomy bag as she had crohns disease. I saw that about the canal, not good. Glad Pat is feeling better now.
@@roaminginraymond It's a long time since I had a night like that. Tracey went to bed knackered last night at 8pm and didn't wake up until 7am. She should be so lucky.
Poor Pat! Hope you feel better soon. You had more snow than us, ours is all gone. Our son traveled up to Newcastle this morning, said the roads were busy and lots of rain. Take care, it’s colder than it looks out there! xx
You say thank you for comments but really it's thank you to you both for your openess and sincere kindness wishing you a really peaceful and happy New year. Emer
Aww thanks so much for these explanation videos they are so helpful to others and we realise how difficult it is to talk about as a long time sufferer of CROHN’S disease myself I can totally understand. x
Thankyou Pat and Trevor and hope you are feeling better soon .. I'm glad you are talking about the stoma as it's very helpful and people won't feel so alone .. bye till tomorrow
Thank you for the video & the helpful information you shared Pat. Hope the sickness has passed & you don’t suffer any after effects. Enjoy your day ☺️🌻
Thats what I said. Talking about it helps other people cope with it. Especially scary if its all new to you and finding someone else thats going through it can be very reasurring for them.
You're absolutely right! Sharing experiences can really help others feel less alone. It's all about connecting and supporting one another Jacqueline, not that I regard myself as a particularly caring person.
Hi there 👍👍👋🏻👋🏻. Strange how our body’s defence mechanism reacts to something and tries to get rid of it ASAP. Pat’s looking and sounding ‘chipper’ today 💕. We found Pat’s explaining about her stoma very interesting. I’m sure that the positive way she spoke about it will help other people in the same situation. Some good tips for avoiding getting soreness or discomfort. I’m sure all of us have experienced an OMG moment when away from home. Talking about things does help 👍👍👍. Take care, stay safe, stay well and keep on smiling. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hey Judy! Thanks for the comment! It’s wild how our bodies react, right? So glad Pat could share her experience and help others out there. Keep smiling too! 😊
Pat, my hubby is the same, I was poorly new year I had to get up three times, he never heard a thing, hope you are feeling better, very bad snow here in stoke on Trent today (Monday)
I seem to be getting it in the neck for being asleep when Pat was ill. Pat is a martyre, she is the kind of person who never tells you anything, and it can be very frustrating at times. I won't tell you about the times she giggles when I am in pain. 😁
Thank you for talking about your stoma, it’s very helpful. I wondered if you have throat issues Pat as you clear your throat a lot. I have a feeling of something stuck in my throat but clearing it doesnt help. I have an endoscopy in a couple of weeks.
Pat's not aware of any throat problems Maria, Lord knows, she has enough to contend with as it is. Hope the endoscopy can alay your fears, if you know what I mean Maria. ❤️
There's something called a vagal nerve reaction, I learnt about because my IBS can cause if I have a sudden painful toilet urge which is thankfully rare avs once it did make me sick whilst I was sat on the toilet, we've discovered my partner gets it, his is also thankfully rare but it tends to happen if he's eaten something or drank something at night that's given him acid reflux. Apparently the nerve between your brain can suddenly get very sensitive in those moments and your brain will tell your stomach to empty itself. Apparently acid reflux when you are lying down can kick it off as it irritates your gullet.
Whoa, that sounds rough! Glad to hear it’s rare for you guys, though. Here’s to hoping your nights stay drama-free! Pat and I take Lansoprazole for acid.
Hi guys, glad Pat is feeling a bit better, well done for enlightening us about colostomy issues, I think that will really help to dispel any myths, I found it really interesting, hope you had a great Christmas and happy new year 🙏👍👊🥰🚌🏴
Gosh Pat it’s no fun when a sick tummy sneaks up on us. I agree people should not feel they cannot talk about a medical necessity. We have to embrace whatever it is as it gives us life . By talking about it they find out they are not alone.
Poor Pat hope you continue to feel ok. My eldest son set off to work but had to turn back because there was a massive flood and he couldn't get past it, lots of drivers were turning back even a couple of the managers and some workers from my sons firm couldn't get in either because of snow or flooding. It's crazy out there at least a few of the buses are able to get round now, which is good. ❤❤ xx I know someone else on here with a stoma. Xx
Thanks for sharing your story! It sounds like quite an adventure out there with the weather. I hope your son stays safe, I don't blame him for turning round.Pat is doing better!, back to her usual self, thank you Yvonne.
We once went up to London for a day. Coming back on the tube I suddenly felt very sick. I don’t know where it came from or what caused it. Luckily I had a carrier bag on me so had to use that. I was mortified and everyone who was in the compartment got off at the next stop. 😂 After we got off the tube at Paddington, it suddenly started coming out the other end 😳 The journey from Paddington to Reading was spent in the train toilet. It still mortifies me to this day and I assume I had eaten something that didn’t agree with me as I was fine when I got home.
Trevor would you think about putting “talk about Colostomy” in your vlog title for yesterday and today so that those searching Utube for information can hear Pats advice. No book, nurse or Dr would ever be able to advise or explain like Pat did from her own experience…invaluable. What a true lady you are married to x Rosey
I thought a title like that would put ordinary people off watching the vlog Rosey. Pat is a very special person, and I am the luckiest man in the world.
May I ask if Pat is type 1 or 2 diabetic? I woke up at 6 this morning for the toilet came back to bed and felt nauseous reached for a plastic bag but had nothing to be sick on. It doesn’t happen all the time to be fair but seems to happen around 6 ish if I get up just wonder if it’s connected to blood sugar.
Pat is type 2. She is on as much medication as her body can stand, whenever they try to up it she gets ill. Could be low blood pressure or low blood sugar. Are you diabetic Jacqueline?
@ only when I have to my fingers get so sore. Another medication they’d like me to take would mean checking twice a day and before driving. Has side effects and tendency to put on weight. After loosing over 5 stone I am not keen! Neither do I want to end up on insulin! I empathise with Pat…
Dear Pat, you have probably helped a lot of people with your positive information. Check with the chemist about the antibiotic you are on because some can cause stomach issues, which could be why you were sick in the night.
You could be right Betty. The trouble we had to go to to get the ones she is on, I doubt the chemist will do anything about it, they will just tell us to tell the doctor and get another prescription, which is next to impossible at our surgery.
I think Pat is doing a marvelous job explaining about her stoma, and how she manages it. Does Pat get these bags etc on prescription? I have nursed people with stomas in nursing homes, so I can understand what she is explaining... and they did get their bags on prescription if I recollect. Sorry to hear of Pat's sickness, I think it must have been the brie 😢
Thank you Mary. Yes, Pat gets her bags on prescription along with all her medication. We are beginning to think it was high blood pressure that caused the sickness because she had a bad headache at the back of her head at the same time, and she is currently taking her blood pressure everyday for the surgery, and it is a little high.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun You don't always know you have high BP till they tell you when you go to the surgery... so here's hoping she gets it sorted out soon 😊
Thank you, you two. I shall let my brother see your videos concerning the stoma bags etc. a funny thing when my brother first got his, him and his wife could be in Tesco when wind escaped Alan’s bag and he blamed his wife. Hope Pat didn’t do that to you Trevor
Hi Trevor & Pat Really enjoyed listening to you Pat great advise about your stoma, found it all very interesting. So Thank you for sharing your experiences. By the way how did the tasting of the Christmas cake go. All the best for 2025.😊
Hi Pat, my husbands skin reacted to the stoma material and he was given salts rings, these go between the bag and skin and worked brilliantly. May be worth passing on. Thank you. Xxx
Who gave him the salts rings Christine, was it Fittleworths, the hospital, the stormer nurse. We have never heard of them. Thank you for making us aware of them.
Pat, you're a blessing. Giving advice so freely and unashamedly. I'm so proud of you!
Thank you, your very kind. Xx
I totally agree Pat talking about things educates us all. Thank you, you have educated me this evening. Glad your feeling better. Take care x
Seems incredible that we could educate anyone, but if we have, then you are very welcome, and thank you for your well wishes. Xx
I just wanted to say the both of you are a blessing, not only to me for all your kind advice but to everyone who watches you, your advice to me personally has helped no end, today is 2 weeks post op, and only 5 days ago, I felt suicidal, that is the turning point on which I asked you for advice.

But they are saying it's the Leeds & Liverpool canal that is effected, which is confusing me.
