Send us a textWhat happens when you decide to throw caution to the wind, decline your PhD acceptance, quit your job, and travel the world for 10 months—all while managing Crohn's disease? Friend of the show and health psychologist Josie McGarva takes us along on her extraordinary global adventure, revealing both the challenges and profound joys of pursuing dreams despite having IBD.From the medication logistics nightmare of switching from the medication she was on for a long time to one that she can more easily travel with, to having her mother smuggle medication internationally hidden inside fluffy socks, Josie's preparation for this journey was an adventure itself. With refreshing candor, she shares her experience navigating living and volunteering abroad while traveling on a tight budget of just $1,000 per month.Josie's travels have taken her from the breathtaking mountains of Patagonia to the vibrant temples of Thailand, with meaningful stops volunteering at hostels, dog rescues, and teaching English in remote villages along the way. Through food poisoning in Thailand, 28-hour bus rides in Argentina, and confronting roosters at dawn in remote villages, Josie demonstrates remarkable resilience while never losing sight of why she embarked on this journey: "I'm finally healthy, which is why I have to go."Beyond the travel tales lies a deeper narrative about identity and chronic illness. Having been diagnosed at 13 and sick throughout her formative years, Josie reflects on how being in remission has allowed her to question how much space IBD should occupy in her future life and career. Her powerful message resonates far beyond the IBD community: limitations are real, but with creativity, determination, and support, dreams remain within reach.Links: Our first episode with JosieOur Research Roundup episode with Josie and Stacey Collins, RDJosie's Instagram accountWorkaway- volunteer while traveling siteThe Workaway opportunity with Dani and the dog rescueFundacion Animal ChileLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Send us a textEpisode 25Well as the boy's move into an exciting new year and today we are very luck to have special guest Jim Bunch.Jim Bunch joins us today and tells us all about his battle with Cancer, diagnosis, treatment and major surgery which has left Jim with a Stoma bag.Jim has kindly agreed to tell us today all about his experiences, his day to day life and the changes he's had to make with his new Stoma bag.A stoma bag is a bag that collects waste from a stoma, which is an opening in the abdominal wall that connects the bowel to the surface of the body. A stoma can be created for a number of reasons, including bowel cancer, bladder cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, or an obstruction in the bladder or bowel.Adjusting to a colostomy can be difficult, but it does not mean you cannot enjoy a full and active life. Colostomy equipment is discreet and secure, and you should be able to do most of the activities you enjoyed before.Award winning BBC presenter, Adele Roberts, didn't let her stoma bag slow her down after bowel cancer surgery.We thank Jim today as his story I'm sure will help and inspire other's especially those who are about to go through a similar scenario.#Stoma#HeartTransplant#EbsteinsAnomaly#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#ChronicIllnessCheck out our new website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

Indeed Parashat SHOFTIM is full of warnings, judgement and outright instructions to the leaders that instilling fear into the people is a good necessity when done in accordance with the Torah.

A story about a small town girl that had no where to turn.  She found strength and hope as God began to show up in small powerful ways  As you all know, I have been doing everything within my power to bring awareness to Crohn's Disease, Ulcerated Colitis, Auto-Immune Disorders, Ileostomy, Colostomy,  & Urostomy bags, Colon cancer etc.  I have been so inspired by all my guest that have been on my podcast.  You are going to be inspired by Brandi also as we bring awareness of  the suffering that some people go through.  Brandi was diagnosed with UC at the age of 18 in Feb of 2006 as a high school senior. Right when she thought she would get better, things just got worse and darker for her.  Following many surgeries she was also diagnosed with Crohn's as her  body decided to attack the Jpouch. Brandi has suffered greatly, but God always provided a person that could help direct her right when she needed it.  Throughout Brandi's sufferings, Philippians 4 has  really ministered to her and has always given her strength.   Like verses 4 & 5 says, " Be full of joy always because you belong to the Lord. Again I say, be full of joy!  Let all people see how gentle you are, for the Lord is coming soon”.  Again…. Verses  6& 7 says, “Do not worry. Learn to pray about everything. Give thanks to God as you ask Him for what you need.  The peace of God is much greater than the human mind can understand. This peace will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Then it goes on to say, “ thing on these things…..good reports! “  Brandi's life verse is that she has learned to be happy with whatever she has.  She strives to be content in need and want.  She has learned the secret of being happy at all times…….Through Jesus Christ!   Philippians 4:13 I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength.

For her it was Colon Cancer, Death of husband, Chemo, Partial colectomy with Colostomy bag, and second diagnoses of cancer.   Job 3:24-26 24 I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.  25 For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.  26 I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”…   Today you will hear Melinda's Story.  This whole month I am bringing recognition to Ileostomy & Colostomy bags, IBD, Crohn's, Ulcerated Colitis, Colon Cancer and Childhood Disease.  If you have been following me, you know what my son Rhett has gone through the past few months with his colectomy and Ileostomy bag. I have seen the silent killer of hopes, dreams, growth and so much more try to steal my son's breath right before my eyes. There is nothing worse than seeing someone you love in so much pain, and there is nothing you can do about it but grieve the loss, cry and try to move forward.    I want you to hear Melinda's story and grasp a hold of how HOPE captured her during the darkest times of her life. When the thing she feared knocked on her door.  It's the Word of God that we cling to in hard times.  We have a hope and a promise and we have to cling to it!  We have to BELIEVE!  David said this: Psalm 27:13-14 New King James Version 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!   There is an expiration to this trial.  This pain did not come to stay, but it will pass for the Word of God says:    Psalm 30:5  …….Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning…….   Melinda survived the death of her husband in the middle of Chemotherapy treatments. She had surgery to remove a portion of her colon just to wake up to another nightmare of having a bag. A surgery that was only supposed to take 3 hours, took 9 long hours.  Melinda is so very inspiring! She survived the death of her husband, and  stage 4 colon cancer. She went from cancer to funeral, from funeral to a colostomy bag, from a bag to chemo, from chemo to broken bones, from broken bones to another devastating diagnoses to tumors in her lungs and now more chemo.   HOW DOES A PERSON MAKE IT THROUGH THIS?  Listen to this full episode and find out!  You will hear the raw story of  how Melinda walked through the valley of the shadow of death. You will hear about her dark times, her good times, and how God used people to help her. I pray you will be touched by this incredible story!

Intro (00:03) This week's guest is Matilda from Sweden. We met on Instagram She has Ulcerative colitis She has been in an ileostomy since 2012 You've had your ostomy since 2012. So that's like 10 years now?   Yes. anniversary, and I'm so excited. In September, we're gonna celebrate in some way.   I love it. I love it. And it's not that you want to celebrate it. So why do you want to celebrate it? Like what? Why is it such a beautiful thing?  Because it's a crazy amount of time. 10 years with an ileostomy because from the beginning, it was said that I would have it for two years. And back then it felt like that was forever. How am I going to do this? And now, like my years has literally flown by. And I mean, my bag, which I'm calling Guna. It's a Swedish name. It's his birthday. So, I of course I had to celebrate.   I believe it's, it's our second it was our second chance at life. So, we should be celebrating.   Yes, yes, of course. I mean, when you look back at that day, like the surgery day, of course, it's a bit traumatic. But for every year from that, it feels like it's an extra year of life. Because that point changed my life from my sickness.   Her Story (02:46) I got my diagnosis of ulcerative colitis when I was 15 years old. And back then were well, in my family, we kind of have way more than one having this problem with our tummies and both with Crohn's and Ulcerative. So, yeah, we knew fast that it was something like that. The flares come and go with ulcerative, the inflammation, like is active or not active, and then you need more medication and so on. That worked pretty fine for nearly two years, until I got really bad and nothing helped. I had high fever, couldn't eat anything. I lived on the hospital. So, in the hospital, they really like focused and tried everything at once. I was without food. I had a food drip It was emergency surgery on a Saturday, and they will move a whole colon. And when I woke up from that, I had an ileostomy but also the fever was gone. So, it was literally the sickness was taken out of my body.   That must have felt so amazing. When the sickness was just taken from your body. How did you feel?  (04:43)   At that time, when you get this diagnose, my doctors always said a stoma is the last way out. You don't want to end up there. But there's always that option. And of course, you don't want to do surgery if you if not needed. I just want to get out and be healthy. So, when we did that surgery, and that actually made things better. Even if I my body was extremely weak and to recover from an open tummy surgery, it's a process. But at least it felt like now we're going in the right direction. So, it wasn't the end. For me. It was like, the new first abitilty to actually be able to get my life back. I'm just going to bag, I'm just in a bag, I just wanted my life back. Colitis and Crohn's it's debilitating. You know, it's when you're lying in bed. And sometimes you just can't get up and you can't focus and can't function. And all you're doing is worrying about what the next day   So now you're in your bag, and you're back in school, you're living you're living your life.  You're always on a beach in a bikini!(06:44)   I've been to a lot of beaches. This like period of Corona has stopped me from the beaches because Sweden is cold. So like, I'm really, really excited to be able to travel again to see like new places new beaches. Yeah, I love I love warmer weather. After graduation, I went backpacking, because I wanted to do what I should do with or without the bag. So, I had one year off from high school until at uni and went backpacking. And then there was my like, the first time of really many, many beaches.   I love that now let's talk about that. Because there's so many people so you get your get your get your bag, you're healthy, you're in between, you know, graduation and university and you're like, I'm going to go backpacking, that would probably frighten most people who are in an ostomy.  How do I go backpacking? How do you carry all the bags and everything you need? What was that year? 08:12   Well, I was only away for three months, but that's still a lot of luggage and bags for everyone having a stoma? And yes, there is logistics to plan to be able to do it. Of course, it's not like I'm going tomorrow. But I checked with my stoma nurse, is this like a crazy? Or is it possible to do it? I literally had a big backpack. I had very much extra supplies to because in you know, when you are swimming and in warmer climates, it you can be needing changes more often. I had a lot with me, and I always had for two weeks in my hand luggage in case of the big backpack would go away during the flight. I think around two weeks in my friend's backpack. So, I like had the portions out in case of something happens. We went around the globe, we started with a shortstop in the US, we had a few days in California, LA, and then we went to Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, and then back. Oh, that's a pretty good route. But it's that I really want to live, if you want to go on vacation or a longer vacation like a backpacking trip. It is possible. That is important. It is possible just plan.   I love to travel, if I didn't get my stoma I'd be with my ulcerative colitis, then I would be more worried about traveling because you never know if you're sick tomorrow with ulcerative colitis if there will be a flare from the inflammation. So, the stoma has actually made me more secure to travel.    Where did you find that confidence from where does that come from? (15:00)   I actually got that question this week on Instagram. And I don't really know if I have a good answer to it. Because I just did it from the beginning. Like, it hasn't been a question for me, even if yes, everyone, like, literally everyone looks at you, or look at looks at the bag. And that's important to know, if you go into the beach for the first time, yes, there will be eyes on you. But for me, it's important to know, or the people know that they are not looking because something is disgusting. They are looking because they haven't seen it before. I mean, I have had my stoma for 10 years, and I haven't met anyone or seen anyone at the beach with a Stoma. So of course, people are looking, because we don't see it, it's under our clothes, nobody sees that we have a stoma, and does that encourage me to actually be one of them, showing it because I love to swim, and I'm not going to stop swimming just because someone looks at it. But if you feel that it is like uncomfortable that everyone is looking at you, then you can just take a towel, or you can take a sweater or something just over you and then you will be totally anonymous. And I will usually compare it to being a celebrity. They can't hid. So, we can choose to be to be famous with when we're showing our bags at the beach. But don't feel for it anymore, then just coverage and nobody will care.   What is the one thing that you think that they need to they need to know? (17:46)   The important thing for me is if there is something you want to do now, with or without your stoma, try it. Try it with your stoma and try it in your way. And you don't have to go all in at the first time. You don't have to go backpacking, the first thing you do like to try to just sleep away from home I have seen everything since I got my stoma, like I'm doing it for the first time I went swimming for the first time, I went traveling for the first time, I went to school for the first time, like everything for the first time with a stoma and try that. And if that wasn't something for you, then don't do it or adjusted to the next time. Don't' let the stoma stop you from doing what you want to do in life. Whether it's work or school, travel, anything or like, yeah, you know, you can do everything for the first time. Find Matilda on Instagram @matildaahdrian
