My Urostomy and all that

It all started when my urine turned brown. I thought that was weird, so I went to the Emergency Room, where they gave me a card to go see a specialist. I lost the card. My urine turned several shades of red, but then went back to normal, so I didn't do anything. It came and went several times. Then I got internal bleeding, went to the ER, and met my Urologist, Doctor Williams, who took out six tumors. Later, I found out the tissue tested positive for cancer, and Doctor Williams ended up taking out my bladder, and leaving me with a urostomy. It took me until this August to find out that I was putting the bag on wrong, which is why I ended up about three times a month having the whole thing slide down my pant leg. Anyone else experience things like that?
