VESUVIUS - THE PHOTO GALLERY

There are very few pictures of healthy stomas on the Internet.  The only place I've found, apart from what's below, can be found at  http://www.ostomates.org/stomapics/stomapics.html , which is well worth a visit. Here are a few shots of Vesuvius both naked and dressed. Vesuvius apologies for the size of the belly to which he is attached; it's mine and if nothing else proves I still enjoy eating!
