Last year my colon randomly burst with 6" removed and I was slapped with a colostomy bag for four months. It was a really s#!tty four months!
While I went snowboarding with the thing and it "should" not be a major hinderance on lifestyle, it took WAY too much mental energy and planning on every minute of your life on how to deal with your crap of which you no longer have any control over.
For some it is a life saver and can be a relief of lifetime of symptoms, for me it just royally sucked while I healed before they could put me back together.
Catheter all day every day over that s#!t storm again!
...although my favorite line to use was "You are are royal pain in my a$$ but since my a$$ had been rendered inoperable it really doesn't matter!"
