Ostomy Memories of Morbidity

This topic is a playful exploration of the terms "morbidity" and "comorbidity." Typically, "morbidity" is associated with serious or unsettling health issues, like "morbid obesity." "Comorbidity" refers to having two chronic conditions at the same time. The originator uses their own experience of having an ileostomy along with chronic kidney disease as an example. They also mention psychological comorbidities, such as experiencing anxiety and depression together.

To add a humorous twist, they create fictional "comorbidities" in other areas of life, such as:

1. An athlete who can't run or catch.
2. A baseball player who can't field or hit.
3. A magician who lacks both a rabbit and a hat.
4. An economist who misinterprets both past and future events.
5. A sex-trade worker who can't fake an orgasm after losing her voice.

The responses from others in the forum were lighthearted and focused on the humor of these examples. There were no specific tips or advice related to ostomy care or products.
