This topic is about someone who has faced a series of challenging events over the past year, including issues with a stoma revision, delays due to COVID-19, and a significant personal injury. Here’s a breakdown of what they’ve been through and some supportive advice from others:

- They had a stoma revision that didn’t go as planned, resulting in persistent leaks. Despite a second surgery in February, the problem persisted.
- Their colorectal surgeon suggested seeing a plastic surgeon for liposuction around the affected area, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays in further procedures.
- In late April, they experienced a severe accident at work, losing four fingers on their non-dominant hand. This happened while they were working with a machine that had a disabled safety switch.
- They are now learning to manage typing and ostomy care with a new prosthetic hand, which looks impressive but isn’t very functional for these tasks.
- Despite these challenges, they reached out to their community, expressing fondness and a sense of connection despite being away for some time.

Advice and insights from others include:

1. Many people in the community have shared their empathy and encouragement, admiring the person’s resilience.
2. They emphasized the importance of staying strong and maintaining a positive attitude.
