I like to feel appreciative

It all boils down to the simple fact that it feels good to appreciate. It just points me in a direction that I like to contemplate. I actually said out loud a year ago that I couldn't appreciate my ostomy; it wasn't possible. I think I'd be dead from a painful wasting away by now without it. Silly me. I appreciate my ostomy. I love standing up and sitting easily. I can feel my body getting stronger and more lithe again. I like moving freely. I like feeling light and fit. I like feeling bouncing and frisky, and an ostomy is no impediment to this. I have quality of living. I have bodily comfort and ease. I've learned discretion with my condition and can walk about feeling comfortable and free. I appreciate my ostomy for giving more life to me. I appreciate it allowing me to raise my children one, two, and three. I appreciate my ostomy is no impediment to loving grandchildren indeed. And now to invent something that scoops children up and puts them on one's lap since hernias are a danger for those with ostomies, but children need to be picked up and put on one's lap regularly... it's part of loving them!







I appreciate my ostomy and am interested in life getting even better for me. I appreciate living and feeling interested and happy.

Wohooo, I'm glad you have taken to your ostomy. It's hard and easy all at once. Having your quality of life is the best feeling, and educating our friends and family without freaking them out, I found all funny ways to do this. But after 9 major operations and scar tissue, life is pain and pain meds. If anyone can avoid lots of surgery, I would definitely say to stop. Reversals aren't what we think they will be like.... Anyway, congrats on your new self again, MOOZA Australia XX
