I was, gosh, with a colostomy bag, swimming, enjoying life . I said, yes, i can. Ive learnt to be confident, not to have any shame. I i can do anything. Cheering gill castle was so severely injured in childbirth in october 2011 that she had to have a Colostomy Operation. Shed suffered a fistula a hole between her rectum and hervagina and a fourth degree tear which couldnt be repaired. So she had to have her bowel diverted out onto her abdomen, creating a permanent stoma. Knowing how hard it was to come to terms with this massive life change, she wanted to let others see it couldnt stop herfrom doing anything. When i first had my stoma surgery, i was told, no, you cant do that to a lot of things. But my attitude is, well, why not . Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Shivers i dont want to dwell all the time on what happened in the past. I also want to show people whats possible moving forward. Screams morning, everybody here we are at ben nevis. And thats really important, to give people
