The name finally came to me this week. . .

Many people name their stomas and at first I was turned off by the thought of naming it but now that I have come to embrace this gift I have been given I pondered about a name. Not wanting to name it something too crude (I want my stoma to be nice to me) I searched high and low, calling it different names and deciding that didn't quite fit right before I landed on. . .Kalliope. The moment I said Kalliope my stoma made a little noise and ironically Kalliope means beautiful voice. The added bonus is I have a nickname for it too, Kal my little pal! So from now on we will have the adventures of Colleen and Kalliope! Stay tuned for more!
