Ostomy Memories of Santa Claus

This story is about Santa Claus and how he adapted to life with an ostomy after developing rectal cancer. The narrative is light-hearted and shares how Santa made some changes to continue spreading holiday cheer without any hiccups.

- Santa had to undergo ileostomy surgery due to rectal cancer, which was humorously attributed to chimney soot exposure.
- During the early Christmas season, Santa faced some challenges with pouch accidents when children sat on his lap.
- An elf came to the rescue by getting Santa a stoma guard and a special protective belt, which helped prevent further accidents.
- To avoid any issues, Santa started seating children on the opposite side of his ostomy appliance.
- Santa also made his North Pole bathroom more ostomy-friendly by adding extra counter space and a heating element for comfort.
- Feeling much better with these adjustments, Santa regained his joyful spirit and even named his stoma "Rudolph.
