Default Ostomy and Model A driving

Is there anyone out there that is driving a Model A with an ostomy? I have just had surgery to remove my bladder and an ostomy bag installed. Been driving my Model A over 20 years & never saw any post such as this.
If you know or have had this please share how it went. Hope I can enjoy a few more years of travel in the A. Thanks Charles A.

Sorry to hear of your surgery. Here's to a speedy recovery...........
Can't help you with your inquiry though.

I have a friend who has operated a backhoe and dozer with the bag since at least 1990.

My friend who I've nicknamed "Dad" has an eliostomy for a few years now. It doesn't stop him from changing motors in his roadster pickup this winter, or driving his 4 A's. He turns 88 this summer. Still going strong.
