Update on My Hand Recovery and Ostomy Bag Experience

This topic is about someone sharing their journey of hand recovery and their experience with switching back to using drainable ostomy bags. Here's a bit more about their experience and insights:

- The person has almost fully recovered from a hand injury, which now allows them to return to using drainable ostomy bags.
- During their recovery, when they could only use one hand, they tried using non-drainable (closed-end) pouches. These were easy to remove and throw away.
- However, they found using non-drainable pouches a bit tricky in public restrooms, especially when there wasn't much space to organize fresh supplies.
- They feel that the hand surgery and therapy were successful and are relieved to be getting back to their usual activities.

The responses from others in the discussion were filled with congratulations and well wishes, but no specific advice or product recommendations were shared.
