Things simply change and sometimes that is good and sometimes that is bad. In 2020 the changes have almost all been negative for our country and our freedoms. I can really bearly imagine living in the nightmare that has been created and my ostomy scares me. I am afraid to go to hospitals where truth and healthcare no longer apply, but politics now rule treatments.
It breaks my heart. There are many things in life that leave people wondering “will life ever be the way it used to be?”. This question was at the forefront of my friends’ mind after he had an emergency ostomy care procedure. He learned he would need an ostomy shortly after one of his concerts in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Immediately he went out and bought the nicest gear he could for his post-procedure life: ConvaTec ostomy supplies. He played lead guitar for an up and coming old school country music band. He didn’t always play guitar. His life started out revolving around sports (predominantly basketball). He was a three-sport athlete in high school but fell in love with basketball at a very young age. He was a top 10 scorer in the school’s history and went on to earn a full-ride scholarship to Grand Valley State University.
Now, this college was not the same as a lot of others and was considered to be more redneck. While at Grand Valley State University, he was a newcomer conference player of the year his freshman year and made the all-conference squad his junior and senior years. He ended his collegiate career as a top 25 scorer in the history of the school and ended up top ten in assists.
Who new that music would be such a big deal. It was at Grand Valley State University that he met what would be his future bandmates. They all grew up with parents that listened to old country music like Gary Stewart, Tracy Lawrence, Keith Whitley, Lefty Frizzle, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. They decided they would create a band that honored their musical influences in an attempt to bring back solid country gold.
Never give up on teh small things and always be proud of the skills that you have. What my friend didn’t know is that he had an ear for music. He was very gifted with the guitar. He could hear a song and immediately figure it out and be able to play it back on electric guitar. This would go very far in the long run as the band grew and gained status among country music listeners across the country. However, when my friend received news of his emergency ostomy care procedure, he didn’t know if his life would ever be the same.
Now thanks to all the really amazing ostomy supplies that he was able to find, he was able to carry on with his career business as usual. He came across a popular list of ostomy supplies. On this list was a belt that kept his collection bag tight and hidden to the side of his abdomen. This allowed him to be comfortable enough to pick his guitar back up and shred it like he had never shredded before. So make sure to find the best ostomy gear you can because it can be life-changing.
