This topic is about someone reflecting on their journey of living with an ostomy for three years, marking what they call their "stomaversary." They share how life has become more normal with a pouch, and they feel a sense of acceptance. Here are some insights and advice shared by others in the community:

1. Life with an ostomy has its ups and downs, but the important thing is to keep learning and moving forward.

2. Acceptance often comes when you can live your daily life without constantly thinking about the ostomy. Forgetting the anniversary can actually be a sign that it has become a normal part of life.

3. Staying positive, celebrating milestones in your own way, and remembering that each day is a gift can help maintain a healthy perspective.

4. Support from the community and sharing experiences with others can provide encouragement and reassurance, knowing that you are not alone in facing these challenges.
