Yay so glad to see this!! You are too kind! Counting down the days til the next UOAA conference when we can get the crew back together!
Thanks Maggie! You deserve it😊 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again too!
You have a warm radiant energy, Nate.
Wow, thank you so much! I was nervous to make this because I haven’t made a UA-cam video where I talk a lot for a while, but I love to do it and want to do a lot more. So this means so much to me.
Hopefully I can be a voice for others like me and maybe entertain you a little on the way! Thanks for watching!
I'm 2 months old today. I'm a n anal cancer survivor ( was stage 4), and I'm here learning as much as I can about being an ostimate. So glad you find your video . I loved the ad you were in
@@marinamoersch1271 Thank you! I'm glad you're here and impressed with how strong you are. Is there anything you would like to know more about?
I am here because of Maggie’s channel and I’m delighted to be a part of yours as well. I am a pretty new ostomate (11 months now) and found Maggie’s channel purely by accident. Oddly enough, I saw one of her videos about two weeks before I got sick - never in a million years realizing that I would shortly have a permanent ileostomy myself in fact, I didn’t even know what that was! But I found her story so compelling and she literally saved my sanity after my surgery. I’m a 69 year old woman, mom of three grown kids ( 48, 42, & 39) and Nana to 5 grandsons from 20 - newborn! My husband and I have been married for 50 years this past March. I’ve really never been seriously ill until last May/June. I ended up in the hospital for 5 weeks with C-diff and it didn’t respond to any of the normal treatments. I was quite literally dying. Finally, the surgeon removed my entire colon and put in a permanent ileostomy for which I am so grateful. It’s been a long recovery but I’m feeling almost completely back to normal now and Maggie has had more to do with that than she’ll ever know. I can’t wait to hear your story! It is SUCH an encouragement to people like me! I love that you will continue to also post your videos on your other passions like music because it reminds us that life goes on and can be totally normal again. Being an ostomate is only one part of who we are - I’m learning that it doesn’t define us. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more about you! ❤
I thought you were awesome immediately, but the Boy Meets World reference did me in; my favorite show of all time! No ostomy here, but an invisible disability similar to autism, and 36 myself since Monday.
I knew somebody was going to connect with that haha. I’m glad you’re here. I LOVE boy meets world! Thank you for sharing a little of your background. I just know how strong you are! Living our experiences makes us fast to understand and fast friends. And Happy Birthday!🎉 ‘88 was a good year!
Hey Nate, I’ve watched Maggie for years! Had an ileostomy and reversal in ‘07, and now a colostomy in ‘20. Yeah, I love “Stella the Stoma” compared to what I endured before. Caused by rectal cancer. I am 61. I also have lots of other diagnosis’ and just chill out now like an old lady in a nursing home. But, I follow a lot of cancer patients and ostomates. It helps remind me of what I’ve been through and I can possibly help them too.
Thank you so much for this comment, Michelle! Maggie is fantastic! I'm glad that you fought through everything and that you and Stella are in a good place now. Thank you for following me and the rest of the people in this community who post things on the internet. It is very important for this community to grow together! Take Care 😊
Hi Nate, nice to meet you. I did hear about you from Maggie's channel. I have a permanent colostomy due to rectal cancer. I loved, loved , loved your commercial!
Hi! I’m glad you’re here.. at my channel and in life in general. You’re a fighter! Thank you for sharing. I’m so happy that you loved the commercial!
Well, Nate, this one's a keeper. Thanks! ❤️
@@user-SueS Thank you! I’ll work on some more keepers! 😉
Thank you for sharing! I have had RA since I was 8. I don't have an ostomy but the chronic stuff stinks. Hope you have a great week!
I appreciate you watching the video and saying something! Since you were 8, wow. You are a fighter and I love meeting fighters! I hope you have a great week too 😊
I'm new to the community. 3 months into my ostomy journey. Nice to meet you Nate.
Hey Jonathan! It's awesome that you're commenting, researching, and being active in the community so early. When I got my ostomy in 2010, I only found like one helpful youtube video. And I didn't talk to anybody about it or participate in this community for another 7 years. You've got a better road ahead and I hope you stick around.
Hi Nate, I am here from Maggie's channel, thank you so much for this video, love your energie, amasing to see how real and genuine you are, thank you so much for this channel, looking forward to also hear your story. Love the fact that you post about every day life, proves once again that we are human beings living a life and not just human beings existing with a stoma. Looking for to see all of your videos.
Hi, welcome!! Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to say all that! Yes, I believe we can all find ways to live the way we want and do the things that make us feel happy and purposeful. I'm working on getting new videos out, other than all the UA-cam shorts I have ready to go. lol Have a great week!
Hi Nate! Thank you for being so real. Your personality is amazing. Just do you!
Hi! Thank you I really appreciate that! I’ll keep doing my best😊
You seriously have great energy. I love hearing about medical stuff, but I'm also excited about your photography and music. I love the name of your album!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re along for the ride haha. I appreciate the compliment and hopefully I’ll have another album out this year!
Nice to meet you! I'm an ostomate too and I'm very happy with. Thank you for your positive energy. Stay strong! Cu
Nice to meet you! Thank you very much and you stay strong too!
Came from Maggies video she is amazing! Happy to be here!!! Don’t have a Ostomy but i do have an invisible illness!!
I love that you’re here! Thank you! We’re a great and unique community aren’t we? And yes, for 20 years I had an invisible condition(technically wasn’t an illness), so I get it! I automatically can assume how amazing and strong you are! I’d like to get more into the invisible illness side of things, because it’s the part of my life that I’ve shared the least. Take care!
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too! I'm happy you're here!
Hiya Nate..I am here from Maggie's channel.I like her and have a colostomy but I I also have a Urostomy. I was born with Spina Bifida. I had my bladder removed when I was 5 yrs old due cyst on my bladder. Then at age 24 I had a colostomy placed.I am now 57 yrs old.I do not my mind my Urostomy, But my colostomy we have a love hate situation..Mostly hate.I am not sure I will ever love it or like it.Yes it saved my life but does not mean I will ever love it.
Wow! I'm not sure I've heard of Spina Bifida before; I'll look more into it. I totally understand the sentiment of being grateful, but not loving your ostomy. My quality of life is much better with mine, but if it weren't, that would be a very hard place to be. I admire your resilience and willingness to share part of your story with me. I think the best we can do most times is live one day at a time as well as we can. Even if some days it's hard to love our ostomies and they love to make things hard for us. lol
Good to be here bro
Let’s go!
Hello Nate! Good to meet you!! Count me in as a new subscriber via Maggie's channel and a fellow ostomate. Looking forward to watching more of your video's.
Hello Pamela! Good to meet you too! I love making new ostomate friends. Anything in particular you'd like to see me talk about or do in future videos?
Keep doing exactly what you have been Nate!! Phenomenal content!! Beautiful landscapes ... so much talent ... wow!! And thank you so much for sharing 😍
Great video. I love seeing how much passion you have for photography and music.
Thank you! I do love it and have a lot to share. I just get anxious about sharing. We all have things that hold us back a little right? I’m going to try to show a lot more.
@@natehadlock I feel like that about my writing, so I totally get it. Sometimes it’s just an obstacle to overcome. I hope you’ll make many more videos in the future and that it’ll get easier to share.
@@Sue-pn7mq I'm learning to embrace it and push past it. All of the wonderful people like you that are saying hello are making it easier. Thank you for the encouragement! What do you like to write?
@@natehadlock I’m writing surreal fiction. The first story released is one with a character getting a stoma, which wasn’t the first story I wrote. When I read Karin Slaughter’s representation of it made people cry, I wanted to write something that would potentially make people laugh and not feel so bad about it.
@@Sue-pn7mq I Love that! Keep writing!
Excited to hear ostomy talk from a male's perspective.
Ok, cool! Anything in particular you'd like to hear about? If not, I'm sure I'll get to most things eventually. lol
You should go on Ward Radio
What is that and why do you say that? 🙂
I just got some scary news and I need advice from you. I have anal cancer and in January I had surgery to remove my colon rectum and anus .today I was told that I would probably have to get my bladder and vaginal canal removed also. I am terrified. I live alone and have no family to help me. Please help
I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now and having to make these scary decisions! I understand. Unfortunately I’m not a medical professional, so I’m not qualified to give any actual medical advice. If you want to DM me on instagram @n8haddy, we can talk more as friends 😊
