OUR
MISSION: The United Ostomy Association is a volunteer-based health organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and advocacy for people who have had or will have intestinal or urinary diversions. We welcome anybody who has questions about their Ostomy, causes of Ostomy surgeries, skin issues, or any other question or concern. Ostomates come in all ages and gather together to discuss common questions and solutions. We try to have a speaker on a relevant topic, leave time for open or one-on-one confidential discussion, and enjoy refreshments and camaraderie all within a one-hour meeting. Whether or not you want to join officially, please feel free to attend a meeting. For more information, contact our chapter presidents and leave a message and we will get back to you. 615 662-7639. |

All of the trees are budding out and all the honeysuckles are kind of cramping our style a little bit But please join in with me and take your allergy medications and experience in the joy of life coming into being. And as you can all remember that our mothers also shed a few tears along the way with our new life. It was not always easy on her or US - but I'm sure she would say that it was worth it. I know it has been for me. So, it she in around please make it a special time for her - even it is just a phone call or an e-mail that comes with love. If she is only with you in spirit, she is always with you and let's so, let's still enjoy some special thoughts of her on her special day. If you might have a close friend or relative call him or her and recall a pleasant memory or two. When you send in your dues of $10.00 make sure to make it out to Nashville Ostomy Please send me your contact info Name: Address: Email: Contact number: ==================================================================

Also, I would
encourage you to subscribe to the Phoenix magazine, which is published by the United Ostomy Association of America. If you have been to one of our meetings, you probably saw it there and I highly endorse this publication. It has some great survival stories of other ostomies, tips from nurses on how to live a greater quality of life and of course, advertising for quite a few supplies that help us to live a little easier. You can go online and subscribe for this fine magazine http://www.phoenixuoaa.org/. And if you are looking for a support group in your area you can go to http://www.ostomy.org/supportgroups. |

During the past few months, we have been busy with referrals and have
donated some supplies to some who have requested them. By the way,
the same goes for our members, as well. If you do not have insurance and run out of supplies, just give me a call at 615-662-7639 & let me know what you need & I will do my best to match them with what has been donated to us. Please leave us a message and we will get back to soonest |
