Suffering a severe birth tear during vaginal childbirth is a distressing occurrence. When this anal injury leaves you with a permanent stoma, life can seem pretty bleak and it may feel as if you will never again be able to do many of the sports and hobbies you used to enjoy.
A former client of Glynns, Gillian Castle, who was in just that situation, is determined not only that her stoma will not prevent her from doing the things she wants and living life the way she wants to, she also wants to encourage other women who have suffered 3rd or 4th degree perineal tears not to be deterred from living life to the full.
Pushing herself to re-engage with the activities she enjoys, she has filmed herself, with absolute honesty, and created her own website to show what is possible if you can find the strength to believe that you control your stoma and not the other way around.
Stoma Chameleon, Gillian’s uplifting website is a source of inspiration and hope, providing useful contacts, information, a forum for discussion and many, many heart-warming and incredible stories of positivity, determination and enjoyment.
Check it out at www.stomachameleon.com. Also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
