5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for any ostomate,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ostomy Book: Living Comfortably with Colostomies, Ileostomies, and Urostomies (Paperback)
This book was given to me by a friend when I was in the hospital awaiting ostomy surgery. I must've read it 1,000 times...it became a reference guide and a best friend--the only friend I had who'd been through this surgery. Her writing is clear and comes from her own personal experience. It has practical advice on ostomy management as well as advice on getting through the emotional roller-coaster of ostomy surgery. An excellent book for anyone going through, or even considering, ostomy surgery.

An Excellent Resource,
By
This review is from: The Ostomy Book: Living Comfortably with Colostomies, Ileostomies, and Urostomies (Paperback)
This excellent book (half the royalties are donated to the United Ostomy Association) is written by a colostomate and an ET nurse and is characterized by numerous first person experiences and insights. Covering numerous topics from the typical descriptions of, different ostomies and surgeries to traveling with an ostomy, considering work situations, remaining active with exercise, children with ostomies, sex and emotional adjustments, etc., this book is written with a good sense of humor and a very down-to-earth attitude. Filled with lots of good resources, Mullen and McGinn do a great job explaining the role of the ET nurse and the role of the Ostomy Association in education of the ostomate and the public at large. A fabulous book and a must for the reference shelf.

I am scheduled for a Permanent Colostomy in less than one week. Even though I had searched the Internet for helpful information, this book has been a tremendous source of help. It has greatly reduced my apprehension.The authors are to be commended on they way that they have presented this information. It answers ALL of the questions that I had and more. I highly recommend this book.
