Question, do exercises exist for post colostomy ops, and are they recommended by doctors? It seems like I've been "training" for well over a year and almost everything I attempt ends badly. I.e. hernia, it's not like I'm trying to run marathons or swim channels, just everyday stuff like jogging to the mailbox and back without my heart racing like crazy. Or swimming any stroke that entails arms overhead, etc. My doc says no limitations - that just goes to show me how little he knows about me and my situation. Any ideas? Help?
