Drawing Humor from My Stoma Experience

This topic is about finding humor and joy in life after having ostomy surgery, specifically through the creation of a comic strip. The person who started this conversation is four months into their journey with a stoma and has decided to share their experiences in a fun and light-hearted way through comics. They hope others can relate to and enjoy these stories.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have praised the comic for its clever humor, adorable drawings, and subtle wit. They encourage the creator to keep making more comics, as they bring joy and laughter to those who read them.

2. One person shared a personal story about their spouse, who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 18, had a total colectomy at 26, and is now in excellent health 17 months after surgery. This story offers reassurance that recovery and a fulfilling life with an ostomy are possible.

3. The overall responses from the community provide emotional support, validation, and encouragement to continue sharing creative and positive perspectives on living with a stoma.
