Ostomy Memories of Keeping On

This topic is about finding the courage to move forward after undergoing ostomy surgery. It reflects on the daily bravery needed to live with a life-changing illness and the surgery itself. The discussion draws on the idea that while we often try to make sense of our past, it can be clouded by various factors, making it difficult to have a clear understanding. The focus is on the importance of continuing to move forward despite the unpredictable challenges life may bring.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Humor can be a great companion on this journey. Adding a bit of laughter or a light-hearted perspective can help ease tension and reframe challenges in a more manageable way.

2. Dwelling too much on the past can be exhausting, like getting a sore neck from looking back too often. It's more beneficial to focus on what you can do now and what you want to achieve in the future.

3. Embrace a mindset that looks forward. Accept that some questions about the past may never be answered, and instead, channel your energy into what lies ahead and what you can change.
