There are many things in life that leave people wondering “will life ever be the way it used to be?”. This question was at the forefront of my friends’ mind after he had an emergency ostomy care procedure. He learned he would need an ostomy shortly after one of his concerts in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Immediately he went out and bought the nicest gear he could for his post-procedure life: ConvaTec ostomy supplies.
He played lead guitar for an up and coming old school country music band. He didn’t always play guitar. His life started out revolving around sports (predominantly basketball). He was a three sport athlete in high school, but fell in love with basketball at a very young age. He was a top 10 scorer in the school’s history and went on to earn a full ride scholarship to Grand Valley State University.
While at Grand Valley State University, he was newcomer conference player of the year his freshman year and made the all-conference squad his junior and senior years. He ended his collegiate career as a top 25 scorer in the history of the school and ended up top ten in assists.
It was at Grand Valley State University that he met what would be his future band mates. They all grew up with parents that listened to old country music like Gary Stewart, Tracy Lawrence, Keith Whitley, Lefty Frizzele, and Waylon Jennings to name a few. They decided they would create a band that honored their musical influences in an attempt to bring back solid country gold.
What my friend didn’t know is that he had an ear for music. He was very gifted with the guitar. He could hear a song and immediately figure it out and be able to play it back on electric guitar. This would go very far in the long run as the band grew and gained status across country music listeners across the country. However, when my friend received news of his emergency ostomy care procedure, he didn’t know if his life would ever be the same.
But because of the ConvaTec ostomy supplies that he was able to find, he was able to carry on with his career business as usual. He came across a popular list of ostomy supplies. On this list was a belt that kept his collection bag tight and hidden to the side of his abdomen. This allowed him to be comfortable enough to pick his guitar back up and shred it like he had never shredded before.
